What is Guided Imagery?

Guided Imagery defined literally means: to be guided/assisted through images/pictures. Its process involves deep concentration on your breathing to be able to relax and enjoy its course. A voice will guide you through a series of images to help you attain your goal. Now, unlike what some think, you are not being hypnotized; you choose to go as deep as you want.

There is a theme each time you go through guided imagery. If it is strictly for relaxation purposes, the theme will be about elements of nature, the power of color or of sounds. However, it can also be used to assist with any issue such as: depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, insomnia, eating disorders, post trauma, assertiveness, pregnancy, stress management, relationship issues, feeling lost or stuck in your life; you name it.

Now, Aileen Nealie takes it a step above. She not only has what she calls genetic pieces for each issue, but she can also personalize a CD exclusively for your needs. She will ask for details on your situation, as any therapist would, and will then have you embark on a journey to face your issues in the most gentle yet enlightening fashion. Those who have experienced her work describe it as " pure ," " majestic ," " so incredibly human ," " taking me right where I am suppose to go ." For some it may take a few sessions before they reach deeply and find themselves; for others, it may be by the first session. The beauty of the CD is that it keeps reminding you of what your true solution or path is, because it is helping you face yourself; which is something that most human beings unfortunately try to escape from, as it is too difficult to face. Aileen will help you make this process very easy and even fun.
