Guided Imagery and Music Sessions
with
Linda Keiser Mardis

Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) sessions provide an individual the opportunity to deepen his/her connection to the imaginal realm; to tap into creativity; to seek healing images; to enhance a relationship to music; to evoke inner wisdom; to heighten a sense of well-being; to promote psychological and spiritual growth; and to explore the many levels of consciousness

In a typical GIM session, the individual and the facilitator begin to build their rapport through a preliminary conversation about expectations, goals, current and/or past personal history. The individual is then invited to recline on a comfortable mat, couch, or in a comfortable reclining chair. The facilitator provides relaxation and focusing suggestions to assist the individual into a relaxed state. The facilitator selects an appropriate music program and starts the music. The individual listens to the music in a very focused way and allows his/her imagination to become active in response to the music. The individual verbalizes the many types of images which s/he senses, and the facilitator responds with supportive and resonant comments. At the end of the music program, the facilitator helps the individual return from the relaxed state, and together they begin to reflect on the nature of the session experiences, and to further the progress of integration.

If, after an introductory session, an individual feels that GIM is a resonant method for his/her self-exploration, s/he is encouraged to book a series of sessions in order to pursue mutually recognized therapeutic goals.
