Guided Imagery

Using Guided Imagery for Stress Relief, Healing, and Growth

Guided imagery is one of the most effective tools for stress management, creativity, healing, and personal growth. At Whole Person Associates, we offer a wide range of guided imagery script collections, group resources, and children’s activities designed to help people of all ages. These resources can be used to:

• Promote relaxation and reduce stress
• Tap into inner wisdom and creativity
• Support emotional healing and resilience
• Improve focus, performance, and problem-solving
• Build coping skills for children and teens

While individuals can benefit from practicing guided imagery on their own, these tools are especially powerful in group settings. Group use not only deepens each participant’s inner journey but also allows for shared reflection, learning, and connection.

Tips for the Leader/Guide

• Be prepared. Practice the imagery script yourself before leading a group. This helps refine pacing and flow.
• Choose appropriate images. Match the script to your group’s goals, time frame, and readiness.
• Create a healthy environment. Ensure the space is comfortable, flexible, and conducive to relaxation.
• Prepare participants. Introduce the technique, explain the process, and invite an open, curious mindset.
• Read with authentic style. Find your natural voice, take your time, and allow participants space to visualize and reflect.
