 Years of thought and study have gone into the creation of Focused Guided Imagery. For many years, I have studied with many of the great teachers and innovators in the field of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Research into their methods and techniques has allowed me to come up with what I think is a very innovative way of using guided imagery. Most people have heard of patients with different diseases using guided imagery to alleviate the symptoms or to slow down the progress of their illness. Traditional guided imagery is using the imagination to work on a particular problem or situation that affects the person.
In Focused Guided Imagery, the client is taught, in their subconscious mind, how to focus and concentrate powerfully on the situation he wants to correct or alleviate. To accomplish this, the individual must be guided into relaxing their bodies and concentrating and focusing all their attention on the way that their mind works. Just like bodies can be built through exercise and nutrition, the power of the mind can be strengthened. I teach a person to focus and concentrate and, like physical exercise in the gym, the more you exercise the mind, the stronger and easier it becomes to be focused and to powerfully concentrate on the tasks at hand. In Focused Guided Imagery, the individual will learn how to concentrate and focus.
