For most people visual imagery is predominant.
Imagery is a form of communication used to bridge the mind and the body.
Understanding the scientific basis for how imagery works can help us understand how healing takes place, and how to create effective healing images. The mind reacts to imagined events just as it does to real events. In fact, imagination can be more important than knowledge, when we recall emotional memories that make us laugh or bring a tear to our eye. Tears are a good example, because we have no conscious control over them. Actors must first conjure up some mental images to enable them to cry for a needed scene.
