Okay, sorry I took so long to get back--swamped with work. i use two recordings that i ordered and dowlnloaded from www.healthjourneys.com

The first one is simply caled "Relieve Stress"-Health Journeys. It contains four sections: 2 general stress/anxiety relieving guided imagery sessions that promote grounding and getting in touch with your body. The third is a walking meditation that I love, it's only about 10 or 12 minutes long. Finally are affirmations that you can listen to at any time and are good for all of us, I venture a guess.

My favorite recording is clled "Healing Trauma-PTSD." It is a beautiful guided imagery through your heart. You probably should have a T to do this imagery because it calls for an image,that I think is your therapist, to accompany you on your journey. I love this tape. It has helped me tremendously and the images change over time. I am amazed by its power. The imagery is followed by affirmations, again which can be listened to any ol time.

You can either order on-line or by mail. They will send you MP3 format to your e-mail after a day or so or you can have the CD's sent to your home.

I recommend this source! Enjoy. (There are all sorts of other audios designed to help with every possible issue you can imagine).

P.S. Almeda,
Guided imagery is a method of getting in touch with your inner self where you close your eyes, relax, and call forth an image. Usually the image is supplied by an outside source such as a clinician or an audiotape of some sort. Usually it is used for relaxation but my T has used it to help me with inner child work. I am a visual person so it works for me. My husband hates it, so go figure. I think the voice on the audio has to be compatible with something you find comforting or it won't work.
