definition of guided imagery
Excerpted from Staying Well with Guided Imagery Â© Naparstek, 1994 and Invisible Heroes Â© Naparstek, 2005. Guided imagery meditation is a gentle but powerful technique that focuses and directs the imagination in proactive, positive ways. It can be just as simple as an athlete's 10-second reverie, just before leaping off the diving board, imagining how a perfect dive feels when slicing through the water.
