Guided Visual Imagery

Guided Visual Imagery is based on the concept of mind-body connection. It has been used for centuries by religious and healing practices from ancient Greek times, and the technique is an established approach in Chinese medicine and American Indian traditions.  Mind-body connection upholds the interaction between body and mind as one important factor in a person’s overall health and well-being. These techniques involve the systematic practice of creating a detailed mental image of an attractive and peaceful setting or environment
