Role of Mind in Designing a Meaningful Guided Imagery of Higher Power in Psychoneuroimmunology
Sirajul Husain
Abstract
Effectiveness of a guided imagery for application as a psychotherapeutic modality in mind-body medicine, and the
emerging discipline of psychoneuroimmunology, is postulated to be directly proportional to the meaningfulness
of the imagery to engender hope and will to meet the challenges in health and healing. A guided imagery of higher
power is postulated in light of our recent study on consciousness, in particular, by explaining how meaning arrives
in a conscious experience of the imagery and how its cognitive-emotive energy can facilitate relaxation response
in proportion to meditating skill on the meaning of the imagery.
Keywords
consciousness, meaning, guided imagery of higher power, relaxation response, meditation
