Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-10 00:00:00 James Britt Guided Imagery for Self-Healing by Martin L. Rossman, MD, is one of the best books I've read on metaphysics, and yet it's a book that specifically avoids spirituality and discussion of energy work for most of the book. As a result of his years of work as an integrative practitioner who understand the many aspects of healing, Rossman wrote a fabulous book that could appeal to those who are highly spiritual and those who are atheists alike. What Rossman is essentially describing in this book about "imagery" is using one's intuition to tune in to one's body to listen to what it has to say. He uses the term "imagery" for what I would describe as intuition and meditation. Because he is grounded in science, Rossman integrates medical studies throughout the book. He talks about how visualization stimulates the brain in ways we don't understand in order to help the body heal. Rossman sees imagery as a way to get in touch with those things we've learned to repress as we avoid difficult emotional issues; these emotional issues are at the root of many physical illnesses. (A much longer review is posted on my blog.)

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-02 00:00:00 Barbara Taylor This is actually a book I need to own because it's a reference book to review over and over again. I've recorded some of his imagery scripts using my iphone, but I have yet to actually do them. But after I read this book, I realized just how powerful guided imagery can be for your health (just like meditation, which I still have yet to do daily!) I have a CD of Rossman's where he partners with Dr. Andrew Weil and reads some of his own guided imagery scripts, and if I'm having problems sleeping i listen to it and have one of the best night's sleep ever. He's a master in his field. Now I just have to carve out a little time to do it!
