20. Guided Imagery-definition*
Guided imagery
is a mind-body intervention by which a trained practitioner or teacher helps
a participant or patient to evoke and generate mental images that simulate
or re-create the sensory perception of sights, sounds, tastes, smells,
movements, and images associated with touch, such as texture,
temperature, and pressure, as well as imaginative or mental content that
the participant or patient experiences as defying conventional sensory
categories, and that may precipitate strong emotions or feelings in the
absence of the stimuli to which correlating sensory receptors are
receptive.
The practitioner or teacher may facilitate this process in person to an
individual or a group. Alternatively, the participant or patient may follow
guidance provided by a sound recording, video, or audiovisual media
comprising spoken instruction that may be accompanied by music or
sound.
