Guided Imagery is a mind-body method that teaches the individual to visualize rapid recovery and to release tension through deep breathing and meditative relaxation techniques. CAM Healing uses a combination of visualization and soft music to empower people to access their innate healing abilities.
Energy Healing has been used for thousands of years. It is a non-invasive modality that restores the natural flow of energy to pathways in the body that may be blocked due to prior injury (physical or emotional) or that may be untapped for unknown reasons. Energy healing promotes wound healing, alleviates pain, relieves anxiety and evokes a relaxation response.
In the past 30 years over 200 research studies have explored guided imagery’s multiple benefits such as:
- Reduces anxiety
- Increases well being
- Decreases pain
- Assists in healing
- Lowers blood pressure
- Improves willingness to make lifestyle changes
- Improves quality of life
In surgery, guided imagery combined with energy healing can
- Decrease pre-surgery anxiety
- Reduce pain and the need for post-operative medication
- Decrease side effects and complications of medical procedures such as surgical bleeding and length of procedure
- Reduce recovery time thereby shortening hospital stays
- Enhance sleep
