Guided imagery is a type of mindfulness meditation that relies on the mind’s ability to focus and imagine. It is best done in a calm environment, without distractions. A quiet room can be used, or even the bathroom can serve as a calming setting. You should breathe slowly and deeply during the meditation.

A recent study showed that guided imagery significantly reduced the levels of anxiety and stress in people who were suffering from depression. People who used guided imagery were able to sleep better and experience less stress. Additionally, guided imagery can be helpful for those suffering from physical pain, such as cancer or surgery. It has been shown to reduce the intensity of pain as well as improve the body’s ability to cope with difficult situations.
