Guided Imagery

Guided imagery, also known as visualization, is a gentle but powerful technique used in meditation to focus and direct the imagination. Specifically, it involves focusing one’s attention on a relaxing image, such as a sunset or a flowing waterfall. Studies have shown that by using guided imagery, people can lower their anxiety levels during stressful times, reduce their heart rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, and even decrease morphine use for pain after surgery.
