Guided Imagery Meditation

safe space…

August 1, 2010 by Carol Leave a Comment

And what I find particularly interesting, is how do we create safe space for our bodies?

Lately I’ve been involved in a very interesting conversation about creating safe space. It came up in talking about working with clients, but it really applies to our lives as a whole. How do we create safe space for ourselves?

I don’t mean wearing a seatbelt, and picking up broken glass before you step in it! I mean how do we give our bodies the opportunity to relax, to feel the sense of safety that allows us to let go of the stress response that keeps us vigilant, ready for danger, ready for confrontation, or ready to run. How do we allow our bodies to be at peace?

So many of us walk around in a perpetual state of fight or flight readiness, with stress hormones coursing through our veins, muscles tense, sympathetic nervous system on alert. If your mother was severely tense or anxious when she was pregnant with you, you were bathed in her stress hormones, and born accustomed to a high level in your bloodstream.

Breathe in Peace…

June 20, 2010 by Carol Leave a Comment

I offered my guided imagery meditation “Breathe in Peace” as a free download on the Self-Help Giveaway that Dr. Joe Rubino is running, and got some interesting feedback on it.

In the meditation I say, “…This is your time, now, to take care of yourself, to be gentle with yourself, to give yourself patience and compassion, to give yourself the peace and safety that lies deep within your heart…”

One woman wrote to me, that she found herself in tears listening to that – trying to remember that last time that she put aside all her responsibilities and taking care of everyone around her and took time to be gentle and patient and compassionate with herself.

Imagery and imagination…

May 13, 2010 by Carol Leave a Comment

Imagery comes from the same root word as ”imagination,” and describes the way your mind and body communicate, through images, words, feelings or sensations. Like guided meditation, guided imagery can be facilitated by another person or guide, or guided by you yourself. In my work, I use guided imagery combined with meditation to create a relaxed, focused state in which your guided imagery can be more powerful and more effective.

The word “imagine” describes the ability to form images and ideas in the mind. Our creation of images is an innate, natural ability of all human beings. Often used interchangeably with the term “visualization,” the word “imagery” actually gives a more accurate sense of this mode. Where the word visualization implies that we are using our sight or vision, in fact, people have many different ways of imaging or imagining. Some people do experience visual images or pictures, like watching a movie, or like actually being in the movie and seeing what is around them. For others, imagery may take the form of physical sensation or feelings, a kinesthetic experience. Some people are more auditory, their hearing is the most dominant sense in imagery, for some it is a sense of smell. Others may experience a sense of “knowing,” in their mind, their heart, or in their whole being that transcends the basic five senses. Which sense is most powerful for you?

what is guided meditation?

May 8, 2010 by Carol Leave a Comment

Guided meditation is a process by which a guide or teacher leads you into meditation. An effective teacher can teach you a simple pathway to a meditative state, as well as help you experience being in that state. Once you have experienced what it feels like to be in the natural state of meditation, and learned the path to it, it is easy for you to take yourself there.Meditation shouldn’t be hard, it’s a natural state for humans. But a lot of people become frustrated and discouraged trying to learn meditation on their own. It may be because they are using techniques that just aren’t right for them, and/or have inadequate guidance. Being guided into the experience of a meditative state, with a guided meditation CD or mp3 is an easy way to eliminate those problems.

Meditation is, most simply, the process of re-connecting our mind, emotions, and body with our spirit. The basic purpose of meditation is to bring us back to our center, where we are in communication with our higher/deeper/inner self, and with spirit. There are many ways to meditate, and cultures all over the world have used meditation in many different forms- sitting, walking, movement. There is no single right way to meditate; we each need to find the form that works best for us.

EFT in the Rockies…

August 1, 2009 by Carol Leave a Comment

I am enjoying a remarkable four day retreat with EFT Masters Rue Hass and Gwyneth Moss in the foothills of the Rocky mountains. If you were listening to the Profound Paths series last fall, you will remember the beautiful EFT work Rue did on one of our calls. What an experience to be learning from these brilliant teachers in this peaceful and beautiful retreat setting.

One of my commitments in the teleseminar series, is bringing you more profound and practical learning about the amazing potential of these meridian tapping energy therapies. The more I learn about the depths of EFT work, the more possibilities I see…

Today, working with Gwyneth I had a new insight about imagery.

I have always explained it as “the language the body and the mind use to communicate.” But it is really more the messenger between body and mind, or as Gwyneth calls it, “the interpreter.” The body expresses non-verbally through the imagination, through images; they can be visual, kinesthetic, auditory, or any other kind of sensing. The messenger image then gives the information to the thinking mind. An amazing system!

It’s very helpful to understand how your system images. Are you visual, auditory, do you sense through physical sensation, smells, tastes, or just a sense of ‘knowing?’ Explore your imagination and your own unique ‘messenger system.’ Let me know what you discover.

Welcome to My Blog!

July 16, 2009 by Carol Leave a Comment

Welcome to my new blog. I envision this blog as a way to go into more depth about a variety of topics in health and healing. My passion is drawing on all the diverse philosophies and tools I have studied to help people find their own unique path to health and healing. My favorite tools are energy medicine, guided imagery meditation, EFT and meridian tapping, gentle bodywork and nutritional counseling. In this blog, and in all my work I explore all levels of our being – body, heart, mind and spirit. How these interconnect, how we explore our full humanity is a source of great fascination to me.

My free weekly teleseminar, “Profound Paths to Health, Healing and Happiness” is returning Sept. 15th, 2009 for our 3rd season. In it, I have in-depth conversations with some of the most innovative and visionary teachers and practitioners in health and healing. People who’s work incorporates an understanding of, and an orientation to body, heart, mind and spirit. I am really excited about our line-up of speakers and will be sharing more about them. I’d love to hear about your interests; who and what you’d like to learn about, and get your feedback on previous speakers and topics.

Please feel free to come back whenever you like, or leave me a comment.

Yours in Peace,

Carol
