Does anyone do this for anxiety. I find relaxation tapes very helpful but never tried this but just read about it. Anyone got a good site or tapes to get into this?

Hi Andy,

Great suggestion!

We have some meditation links in our Resources that are in a guided imagery style. One is just general relaxation, and the other is targeted for relief of physical symptoms/anxiety caused by symptoms.

Are there other specific issues/Imagery that you would like to work on?

I could look some up for you.:)

I didn't have any specific images in mind but I do have physical health problems that I need to distract myself from, and as a Catholic anything linked to that would probably be therapeutic too

Here are the meditation links from our Resources:

Health Journeys produces guided imagery that specifically targets health issues, such as panic attacks, gastric distress and traumatic stress.

You can listen to some samples and get an idea of what guided imagery sounds like here: (it's hypnotic, immersive and relaxing - narration scored to music.)


There's relevant research on guided imagery, hypnosis and meditation on a Hot Research page, showing a lot of strong data to support using this method for these conditions.)

Full disclosure: This is my company, has been since 1990, but I'm sincere and not just blowin' smoke for commercial purposes - we're especially committed to returning military and vets.

While we appreciate your honesty, since this is your company and you stand to profit from posting your site here, this is considered SPAM.  I have removed your links due to this rule violation.
