Synopsis:

Healing and Transformaiton Through Self Guided Imagery  is a guide to healing from trauma and crisis though the transformative potential of imagery techniques.  Tapping into the heart's wisdom through guided imagery is an ancient practice, but today imagery is enjoying a renaissance in a variety of contemporary settings. Imagery is used as an adjunct to conventional medical therapies for health issues ranging from cancer and heart disease to post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction. This inspiring guide provides contemporary techniques for using it to transform moments of pain, emotional turmoil, and interpersonal conflict into opportunities for growth and self-realization. The book includes a self-facilitation worksheet with step-by-step instructions for unscripted guided imagery. Free downloadable mp3' s that accompany exercises from the book can be obtained at www.LeslieDavenport.com.

Book Excerpt:

Using imagery as a self-help tool when facing a major life stressor is only the beginning of tapping into the potential of this powerful practice. Imagery is far more than self-help; it can be a way to self-realization. By regularly traveling into our heart's domain, we not only get in touch with, but become at home in, a source of wisdom greater than we know. Using imagery this way can uproot underlying beliefs that promote distress in our lives. Often, intuition naturally emerges in day-to-day awareness as we cultivate receptivity to our inner guidance. Over time, you may find that situations that previsouly would have been upsetting to you are now no longer disturbing.

Author Comment:

I invite you on a journey to the generous gifts found within your own heart. While our “thinking mind” is vital in the smooth functioning of our day-to-day life, it quickly reaches the limits of its usefulness when facing a crisis, or in cultivating a life filled with meaning and depth. Every human heart is connected to a source of wisdom that surprises even the most thoughtful mind. When we tap into this source of wisdom, it brings us into the fullness of being human and provides resources for a fulfilling life. Whether you are seeking guidance for a current crisis in your life, reflecting on a significant life transition, or deepening gratitude in simple day-to-day moments, it is my sincere hope the resources here support you.
