Therapeutic Imagery
Whatever we give our attention to, we attract. “Where thoughts go, energy flows.” Therefore, the more deliberate we are in choosing our thoughts, the more we are able to focus our experiences in desired directions. Like attracts like, form follows idea and what preoccupies our thoughts tends to become our reality. Goal-oriented creative imagery is a way of focusing one’s mind to get what one wants out of life, be it health, happiness or prosperity.
The essence of guided imagery for therapeutic purposes is to consciously focus one’s imagination on a goal, with the intention of achieving that objective. Enhancing awareness of the client’s existing subconscious imagery, and providing positive images meaningful to the client, the facilitator teaches clients to utilize this imagery on their own behalf. The desire for self-direction is honored and expanded by accepting the client’s own personal imagery and clients are both empowered and motivated, bringing about profound change.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (also known as NLP) is the study of the
structure of subjective experience. It explores the relationship
between neurology, linguistics and patterns(programs) of behavior.
NLP practitioners uncover the neuro-linguistic structures of
limitations created by the client. Fortunately, it's unnecessary to
find out why these limitations were created or the relationship of them
to the origin of the problem in the past. Allowing the client the
freedom to perceive, from a different perspective, any incident from
the past, thus remaining out of the emotions. Practitioners also
facilitate by assisting the client in consciously discovering the best
processes for creating fast and long lasting change in their lives. NLP
is about discovering yourself and exploring your identity connected
with purpose. It encompasses competence and excellence as well as
wisdom and vision.
