Sinus Pain
Pain, along with fatigue, is the most common complaint heard by any physician or primary health care professional. Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond the length expected from an injury, and can become a difficult problem in itself. A good deal of medical research shows that many people can reduce or relieve pain successfully with relaxation and guided imagery. Our Pain Relief CD will teach you three frequently effective methods of reducing pain through the mind/body connection, and the Guided Imagery for Self-Healing book and 4 CD set will teach you all the fundamental skills of using guided imagery to help stimulate healing from within. The book will explain the process, review the science behind it, and coach you through the common questions that people have, while the CD set guides you through the 9 essential guided imagery skills taught in the book. We recommend reading the book no matter what CDs you choose, but if you prefer to just listen rather than read, you may want to start with Self Healing with Guided Imagery, a 2 CD set featuring Dr. Andrew Weil. The first CD explains mind/body healing and guided imagery while the second teaches you three self-healing skills.Sleep
Sleep disturbances can be the result of excessive stress, anxiety, depression, or medical conditions, and sleep deprivation can make people more vulnerable to developing illness. Relaxation and guided imagery have been shown in medical research to help with sleep disturbances. If you are having trouble sleeping it will help you to learn to relax your body and mind and reduce your stress levels. We have created Natural, Restful Sleep to teach you these skills and provide suggestions for sleep that have helped many people.
To learn a more in-depth approach to understanding and resolving your insomnia, we recommend using the "Guided Imagery for Self-Healing" book and 4 CD set that will teach you the nine essential skills of using guided imagery to help stimulate healing from within. The book will explain the process, review the science behind it, and coach you through the common questions that people have, while the CD set guides you through the 9 essential guided imagery skills taught in the book.
Smoking Cessation
Cigarette smoking is the largest preventable cause of illness, death, and medical expenditures in the U.S.A. (CDC). In 1993, direct medical costs associated with smoking amounted to approximately $50 billion; smoking was responsible for approximately 7 percent of total U.S. health care costs (CDC).
Stress: What It Is, How to Beat It
Stress, and our reactions to it, are probably the single most common reason people go to a health professional. The National Health institutes estimate that somewhere between 75 and 90% of all visits to primary care doctors are stress-related, perhaps manifesting as a medical problem. Poor handling of stress underlies most health-damaging lifestyles that lead to overweight, smoking, and excessive alcohol or drugs. There is a tremendous body of research that shows that relaxation and guided imagery techniques are effective in reducing and managing stress. Our “Stress Relief” CD will teach you the basic principles of healthy stress management and breathing, relaxation, and problem-solving techniques that can help you feel back in control again. For a more in-depth approach to learning guided imagery for stress relief, we recommendusing the "Guided Imagery for Self-Healing"book and 4 CD set to teach you the nine essential skills of using guided imagery to help stimulate healing from within. The book will explain the process, review the science behind it, and coach you through the common questions that people have, while the CD set guides you through the 9 essential guided imagery skills taught in the book. A quicker introduction, especially if you prefer not to read, is to use “Self-Healing with Guided Imagery”, a 2 CD set featuring Dr. Andrew Weil. The first CD explains mind/body healing and guided imagery while the second teaches you the three most fundamental self-healing skills. If your stress has led to serious anxiety, you may also want to use the “Anxiety Relief” CD to expand your repertoire of stress relief skills.
Faith Healing, Placebo Effects, and Imagery
When I was in my second year of practice, working in the county medical clinic, a middle-aged woman named Edna came in for a checkup. She was a likable, talkative person who said she had come because “the doctors worry me so and tell me I better keep an eye on my blood pressure.” Her chart revealed that she had been diagnosed with a precancerous condition of the uterine cervix more than two years earlier, and the gynecologists she had seen wanted to take biopsies and remove the affected areas. Edna had turned this recommendation down four times, and each successive note put in her chart by her gynecologic consultants sounded more and more frustrated and concerned. There was mention of possible psychopathology and “irrational beliefs about healing.”
