This review is from: Guided Imagery: Psychotherapy and Healing Through the Mind-Body Connection (Paperback)

I chanced upon Guided Imagery by Rubin Battino in a bookstore and opened it on an impulse. I have many books on the subject and lead a weekly meditation class in which we regularly use guided imagery. This book is about a lot more than any of the other books. It has the usual suggestions for relaxation and it has many example scripts but it also focuses on coping with life and Rubin brings his own life to life in these pages. It's about coping with emotional and physical distress including cancer, end of life, hopelessness, and pain. It's about how to connect with others who are struggling. It's about rituals and ceremonies, art therapy, journaling, nutrition, laughter and much more. It's about helping people connect with themselves, with their spiritual parts, much more deeply. I recommend this book for the traveler or the guide. And I certainly know that we are all both.
