v GIM-therapy takes place on different levels of consciousness and
may lead to change of your patterns of reaction, added self-understanding and a new spiritual experience and insight.
v It is a very powerful tool for reaching different
levels of the psyche through music-centered therapeutic process. Successful GIM
is achieved by combining a professional "guide",
or therapist, and carefully selected
music.
v GIM also combines the healing energies of music with the healing rituals of imagery for improving general
health and relaxation.
v Imagery refers to the internal experiences of memories, dreams, fantasies and visions; it may involve one or
more of the senses, for instance, feeling the heat of the sun, smelling the flowers serves as a bridge
for connecting a person's body-mind-spirit.
Messages, feelings, attitudes, beliefs, emotions, purpose and
meaning all affect the way the body interprets the imaging.
v For this reason, it is common for effective experiences and
feelings to surface during the imagery process, which is why this is such a holistic
approach to healing. It provides access to the body/mind and connects us to our emotions and spirit/higher self.
