About Ralph, our Interactive Imagery client. His pain isn't "all in his head." It's very real and often hurts enough to be disabling. But whether your pain is stress-induced, or caused by a disease or injury, Interactive Guided Imagery can help you either eliminate or diminish the pain using specific imagery techniques, and also help you understand and cope with the emotional impact of the pain or illness. Of course, IGI isn't limited to medical situations. It can be used for sports performance, creative work, business problem solving, and test anxiety. But whatever the application, the basic imagery technique is the same: invite an image of the situation to appear, and dialogue with it to gain information and understanding. If you're worried that you "can't visualization," worry not! Imagery is not limited to the sense of sight. Imagery is any thought that has sensory quality -- sound, feel, smell, etc. So, even if you think you can't visualize, you can still do guided imagery. With the aid of Diane Sternbach, Imagine That's trained, supportive guide, IGI can help you relax, relieve stress, enhance mind/body communication, and stimulate healing, personal growth, creativity, performance, and intuition. Imagine That! does not give you a pre-scripted, "one-size-fits-all" quick fix. The answers you receive through your imagery experience will be unique to you. Interactive Guided Imagery does not involve mind control or hypnosis. It is one of the safest, fastest, and most powerful approaches available. Many people who have not responded to other techniques have found it to be helpful and effective. TESTIMONIALS "Interactive Guided Imagery is a remarkably creative and effective way to take advantage of the mind-body connection. It is one of the natural therapies I recommend most frequently to my patients, because my family and I have experienced success with it ourselves. It is worth trying for a wide range of problems, from chronic infections to chronic pain. It would be my first choice of a mind-body approach for an allergy, certain immune conditions, skin and digestive disorders, and any persistent or mysterious medical problems." Andrew Weil, M.D. "Interactive Guided Imagery is invaluable, a centerpiece of mind/body medicine." "Because everyone's imagination is unique, IGI gives a wonderful window into the client's experience. The elegance of the process is that the client explores and appreciates their own inner resources and it provides them with a lasting tool for self-exploration and healing." ***************************** ABOUT IMAGINE THAT! and DIANE STERNBACH "Interactive Guided Imagery is an amazing experience. Diane's soft voice kept my focus alive." "What was troubling me was 'only a skin condition.' Yet three dermatologists couldn't solve it. It was, I was told, a result of 'stress' and 'all in my head.' When I first heard about IGI, I was really skeptical. How could something as simple as talking with an inner advisor relieve me of the stress that, at that point, was quite literally eating me alive? But two aspects appealed to me. One was the idea that it was interactive. It wasn't some doctor/therapist authority figure telling me what to do, it was me interacting with an aspect of my own psyche and asking 'How can I take control of my own healing?' Secondly, as a writer, I'm accustomed to 'going inside,' to hearing my characters talking inside my head and visualizing scenes as they unfold. IGI was essentially taking me to the same 'place' inside myself. IGI helped me find another 'room,' so to speak, in which to begin to heal." "Working with Diane Sternbach was a delight. Her gentle, caring manner made it easy for me to relax instantly. I can't imagine anyone who would not benefit from this work." |
