How to Coach Yourself and Others Better Coaching Through Visualisation | Page 30

If all else fails, think about how you feel at the moment. Angry?

your ailment will be completely cured / goal will be reached at the
end of the session.
4. Guided Imagery is about Goals
Define priorities, visualize your goals and imagine how you will
achieve them.
In this technique, participants
visualize a goal they want to
achieve, then imagine themselves
going through the process of
achieving it.
Severely ill patients, for example,
are urged to picture their internal
organs and imagine them free of
disease, or to picture tumours
shrinking, or invading microorganisms
succumbing
to
aggressive immune cells.
5. Get rid of stumble blocks

and internal conflicts with Guided

series of scenes such as a meadow,
a mountain, a house, and a swamp.
