Ellen Says: An effective technique used for relaxation and stress reduction, visual imagery uses the “mind’s eye” to control stressful feelings and situations. When stress builds, you close your eyes and go to a peaceful place using your mind.Visualize your favorite beautiful relaxing place. It could be somewhere you have visited, a picture of a place you saw in a movie or magazine, or just the perfect place for you to get away. Perhaps it is a tranquil ocean beach, a grassy meadow with patches of beautiful wildflowers, or a snowy mountain peak.
For example, if you visualize a meadow imagine you are walking barefoot in the grass. Feel the grass under your feet and the heat of the sun on your skin. Smell the fragrance of the flowers. Hear the melodic songs of the meadow birds. When you are ready to return from your mini mind vacation, you will feel relaxed and be stress free
