The Value of Relaxation and Mental Imagery

To give you a better idea of what to expect, the list below contains some of the benefits of the relaxation/mental imagery process.

1. It can decrease fear. Most fear comes from feeling out of control and powerless. Relaxation and mental imagery helps you regain health so that you begin to sense your own control.
2. It can bring about changes in your attitude and strengthen the "will to live."
3. It can effect physical changes in enhancing the immune system and altering the course of illness (negative thoughts, feelings and beliefs). Since mental processes have a direct influence on the immune system and hormonal balances in the body, physical changes can be directly attributed to changes in thought patterns.
4. It can serve as a method of evaluating current beliefs and altering those beliefs, if desired. Alterations in the symbols and pictures that you use can dynamically alter beliefs to those more compatible with health.

5. It can be a tool for communicating with the unconscious -- where many of our beliefs are at least partially buried.
6. It can be a general tool for decreasing tension and stress. Regular relaxation by itself can decrease tension and stress and have a significant effect on underlying body functions.
7. It can be used to confront and alter the stance of hopelessness, helplessness, and underlying depression. As you begin to picture your body and mind regain health, your ability to solve the problems increases and your sense of helplessness and hopelessness is diminished. As you proceed toward health, you gain a sense of confidence and optimism...increasing your self-esteem!
