Guided Imagery Meditation
Additional Information
Guided imagery meditation is more than listening to relaxing sounds. It’s a learning process to listen to someone’s voice, relax the breathing and consciously direct the ability to imagine. The effect of guided vivid imagery sends a message to the emotional control center of the brain.
From there, the message is passed along to the body’s endocrine, immune, autonomic nervous systems, and organs. These systems influence a wide range of bodily functions, including heart and breathing rates and blood pressure.
Guided imagery has been shown to benefit you by:
- Reducing fear and anxiety
- Reducing pain
- Managing stress
- Managing headaches. Studies have shown that guided imagery may aid in reducing the frequency of migraine headaches as effectively as taking preventive medications.
- Reducing side effects from cancer treatment
