Guided Imagery for
Pain Relief |
|
|
Prolonged periods of chronic stress and chronic
pain can exacerbate medical issues and cause us
to be more vulnerable for other potential health
problems. We process images of this pain
and stress in our brains, allowing us to
interpret and view our lives and experiences in
a particular way.
It has been shown that the power of one's
imagination can bring on physiologic changes in
our bodies that can promote healing. The
work of A. Sheikh and R.G. Kunzendorf showed
that various forms of imagery can affect blood
pressure, heart rate, GI motility and
secretions, immune function and levels of
various hormones and neurotransmitters in the
blood. |
