Imaging Your Way to Healing: How Guided Imagery Supports Surgery and Recovery
Guided imagery is the practice of using your imagination to create calming or healing visions and images. Think of it as intentional daydreaming. When you picture yourself in a peaceful meadow or walking along the beach at sunset, your mind and body respond as if these images are real.
Sabbatical Return
I just returned home from a 2-month trip to Colorado. Staying in one place for longer was much more relaxing and allowed me to get into new routines and rhythms. One day, I realized this was not a vacation; it had become a sabbatical.
Surgery, Doubt, Faith, and Healing
When someone is having surgery, it’s important to understand why. The reason why someone chooses to have surgery informs so much: namely, what they’ve experienced leading up to the surgery and what they hope to accomplish by having the procedure done. For me, I can narrow my “why” down to one word: hiking.
