Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Hi Sonja Can't think of a relevant lay-person's book off the top of my head but when I was training, I used 'Self-Hypnosis - The Complete Guide to Better Health and Self-change' by Dr M Alman and Dr Lambrou; cost £12.99 (probably cheaper via amazon) ISNB 0-285-63136-5. Otherwise, there are plenty of general relaxation CDs out there to choose from. Most Hypnotherapists will tape a session for a client which gives them a personalised CD with which to work. She could make up her own visualisation something along the lines of: breathing in calm and breathing out tension and heat, visualising a colour eg cooling blue, might help as she inhales calmness and relaxation.She could visualise the blotchiness being slowly smoothed out by the cool blue breath/light as it seeps into and over her body and her response to any situation as cool, calm and collected to reduce sweating. Her trigger words could be 'cool, calm and collected' or 'breathe' and this would automatically bring the desired state with practice. If you look on the web site www.general-hypnotherapy-register.com this will supply a list of practitioners in her area. Encourage her to talk on the phone to her chosen hypnotherapist to ensure that she a) likes their voice! and feels that they can help her and c) knows how much they will charge for how many sessions! As a guide, I'm in Surrey and I charge £45.00 per session (c 1hour); most people can get permanent change in 1-3 sessions but they may enjoy pure relaxation visualisation or guided meditation on a regular basis or for a particular period of time. Boys Herbalist, Hypnotherapist, Master NLP Practitioner and Motivational Coach Visualisation books Hi All, a patient has asked me about a good book dealing with visualisations to help her with her reaction to stressfull situations. She gets a blotchy face, neck and upper back and starts to sweat even in situations that are not particularly stressfull, it doesn't take alot to trigger this reaction. Herbs have helped to reduce the reaction, but it is still happening enough to bother her. Has anybody experience of using visualisations with patients? My experience here is very limited, and in this case I feel at a loss to recommend a book for this lady. All help much appreciated. All the best, Sonja Quote
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 I recently read 'love, medicine and miracles' by Bernie Siegal and thought it was one of the most amazing books I've read about healing in a long time. He discusses the power of the mind and, while it's not all specifically about visualisation, it does cover it a bit and the rest of the book is so worth reading, I would recommend it anyway. Good for all herbalists! Schia sonjadonnellan wrote: > Hi All, > > a patient has asked me about a good book dealing with visualisations > to help her with her reaction to stressfull situations.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 The Power of Your SUbconscious Mind by ph is a BRILLIANT book. It's not strictly about visualisation skills but talks about ways to use them. I would say it is a must for anyone working with people in our setting as it talks about the power that is within all of us, to heal, and what might get in the way for some people.
