Puja Thomson and Roots & Wings -- Holistic Healing and Transformation

Puja Thomson uses guided imagery in her work. She shows you how to utilize it in your life, in her audio Roots & Wings, and in her Workbook, because it is a powerful healing technique.

What is Guided Imagery?
Sometimes known as creative visualization, guided imagery engages the power of your imagination through the use of selected images to focus very specifically and purposefully towards a chosen goal. You can use it to increase health, develop a new skill, experience a specific feeling, deepen your relaxation and bring balance to your body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Guided imagery is a very empowering tool. It works best when you are willing to let yourself relax away from external demands, in a place without hurry and pressure.

The Benefits of Guided Imagery
Research studies have shown that relaxed visualizations in which you experience a "whole-body sense", have a very powerful effect on the body's health. Imagery can reduce high blood pressure or boost the immune system. Olympic athletes who combined a high proportion of visualization with their physical training showed a measurable increase in their performance.

Puja encourages you to use this "whole-body sense" -- to engage all of your senses; hearing, smelling, touching, even tasting. For example, if you love the ocean and you imagine you are relaxing on the beach, with the sound of the surf in your ears, the feel of the sun on your skin, and even the taste of the salt spray in your mouth, your body actually will become more deeply relaxed, peaceful and refreshed.

One of the best sites on the web about Guided Imagery is Health Journeys by BelleRuth Naparstek. BelleRuth has created an excellent series of audio cassettes and CDs with imagery and affirmations for specific illnesses and emotional concerns, such as cancer, high blood pressure, grief, and pain. Belleruth’s General Wellness is a fantastic gift which can help just about everyone!
