Guided Imagery has been shown to alleviate pain, reduce depression and boost the immune system.

Guided imagery can be used by anyone for one or more of the following purposes:

• improve the quality of your sleep

• reduce your personal stress and anxiety and/or depression

• heal from past painful events/trauma/unhealthy relationship

• improve your relationship with your own body/self-image

• help you maintain balance and perspective as you move through change and life transitions

• provide a simple, portable means of relaxation

Based on the work of Belleruth Naparstek this multi-session class provides an overview of guided imagery and explores the practical benefits of using guided imagery to support healing from stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Each session includes a 40 minute guided imagery exercise narrated by Belleruth and accompanied by music designed to calm and quiet your body.

Guided imagery is a low cost, easy to use, self-care practice. Take an active role in your health by learning to use this powerful healing tool.
