Visualization - Guided Imagery
Advocates of imagery contend that the imagination is a potent healer that has long been overlooked by practitioners of Western medicine.
Images and other senses are the means used by the brain to communicate with our other organs. A kind of mental rehearsal, guided imagery is an effective visioning tool in experiencing oneself as a non-smoker, free from the tobacco habit and without the nasty symptoms of withdrawal.
As you focus and direct your attention - intentionally - you create yourself exactly as you want to be.
A study published in the Journal of Nursing Scholarship looked at 71 smokers from a hospital outpatient clinic. Those in the intervention group were given instruction on how to use guided imagery and were encouraged to practice this imagery at least once per day with a 20-minute audio-taped exercise for reinforcement. The results showed that at 24-months after the intervention, smoking abstinence rates for the intervention group were 26 percent while abstinence rates were only 12 percent for the control group.
