So how does one go about using Guided Imagery For Self Healing?

1. You should get into a state that is comfortable and relaxing to you, as this is the most important step in both guided imagery and all forms of meditation. The more relaxed you are the better as this will allow for proper oxygen flow to the brain. Allow all of your tension and nervousness to drift away from you by starting at one end of your body and working to the other until all tension is relieved.
