Guided Meditation involves the use of the imagination to create mental images to help bring about desired changes in one's physical
or emotional state. It uses intentional mental imagery to activate the body's own natural resources for
health and balance.
Guided Meditation for Wellness and Healing is useful when used along with conventional
medical practices in the treatment of all forms of cancer and other diseases and conditions. Medicine has changed,
and guided imagery's role in health care has changed. This approach is now used to enhance the effectiveness
of medical treatments as well as improve the quality of life. In the mind/body perspective it is believed that thoughts
and emotions can influence our physical health.
