Guided imagery is a program of directed thoughts and suggestions that guide your imagination toward a relaxed, focused state. An example often used is to imagine an orange or a lemon in great detail - the smell, the color, the texture of the peel. Continue to imagine the smell of the lemon, and then see yourself taking a bite of the lemon and feel the juice squirting into your mouth. Many people salivate when they do this. This exercise demonstrates how your body can respond to what you are imagining. Guided imagery is useful in coping with grief and loss by helping individuals feel in control of their emotions and thoughts. This regular workshop will help people learn how to use simple imagery techniques to help improve attitude, health and overall sense of well-being.
