Chapter 21 Mental Imagery and Visualization

“Imagination is more powerful than knowledge.” —Albert Einstein

Mental Imagery:

Mental Imagery: Using the imagination to observe (in the first person) images created by the unconscious mind for relaxation, behavior change, and physical restoration.

Visualization:

Visualization: A self-directed exercise in mental imagery; consciously creating images of success, healing, or relaxation for the purposes of self- improvement.

Guided Mental Imagery:

Guided Mental Imagery: An exercise in which one is guided through a series of suggestions provided by an instructor, therapist, or counselor to enhance one’s imagination for relaxation, restoration, etc.

“Active imagination” (a form of visualization) is a term coined by Carl Jung to describe a mental imagery process where, in a lucid dream state or relaxed state, you consciously imagine the end of a recurring dream.
