Heal with Grace

21. How to use visualization for healing


Listen Later

In this episode we delve into the underestimated practice of visualisation and its significance in the healing journey, exploring both the scientific studies and practical guidance on how to effectively utilise this technique for health and vitality. I explain how the brain cannot differentiate between real and visualised experiences, thereby offering an opportunity to influence the body's response and initiate healing. I discuss chronic conditions, the root causes being stress and a dysregulated brain and body, and how visualisation can shift perceptions of pain and symptoms. I provide evidence from studies showing the effectiveness of guided imagery in pain management and stress reduction. Furthermore, I give detailed instructions on visualising for soothing the amygdala to reduce fear and anxiety, improving functional status, and rewiring food sensitivities, emphasising the practice of visualisation as a powerful tool for self-empowerment and resilience in healing.
