We all have within us a Wise Physician...
     All healing is self-healing.

     Interactive Guided Imagery medical applications are almost too numerous to list. The medical literature is flowing with scientific documentation of guided imagery's effectiveness in helping clients deal with conditions as simple as tension headaches to as serious as cancers.

SURGICAL PREPARATION AND RECOVERY

     · Reduce pre-surgery anxiety
     · Reduce blood loss and swelling
     · Reduce the chances of post-operative infection
     · Reduce post-operative pain

PAIN MANAGEMENT

     In addition to dialoguing with an image of the pain, IGI can also help diminish or eliminate pain by giving you specific pain management techniques. In those cases where pain is not fully eliminated, IGI can give you the coping skills and enhance your inner resources to manage any pain that might remain.

     Chronic pain, including:
     · Back pain
     · Migraines and tension headaches
     · Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus
     · Arthritis

WEIGHT LOSS - SMOKING CESSATION

     We may think we know why we overeat, eat incorrectly, or smoke, but IGI can tell you with certainty. Through imagery, you meet and dialogue with the image of your unwanted behavior. These images are unusually strong -- if they weren't, you could have given up smoking or lost weight long ago. Wouldn't you like to have that strength available to you in a positive way? You can. Using IGI, you negotiate with the image and discover healthier ways for its needs to be met. The solution -- You're free of the unwanted behavior, plus you have gained a strong ally.

OTHER AREAS:

     · Blood pressure management
     · Stress management
     · Women's health issues, such as PMS, infertility, menopause
     · Reluctance to exercise


     As with any medical treatment or non-medical approach, no guarantee of a cure is promised or implied. Interactive Guided Imagery is not a substitute for regular medical care.
