Seeing Is Believing!
Tiger Woods does it, Arnold Schwarzegger changed his body shape doing it, patients in hospital are doing it. What is it? It is creative visualisation, sometimes called guided imagery.
Imagery is not only visual. It can come through other senses. It can be a feeling, a knowing, a taste, a sound. Most important of all, by practicing guided imagery you can make big changes.
In a study conducted by Alternative therapies in Health and Medicine, in 2006, it was found that levels of the stress hormone cortisol, dropped significantly after participants practiced guided imagery. Researchers in a hospital in Cambridge, England also found that patients who used creative visualisation tapes during surgery, recovered faster and on average left hospital earlier than other patients.
