THE
IMAGINAL HEALER
The imaginal healer helps
people get well and stay well, and lead fuller and juicier lives, by
focusing the creative power of images. We use the term “imaginal” to
distinguish true imagination from idle fantasy.
One of the truths of
imagination is that the body believes in images. An image carries a physical
charge: it sends electrical sparks through the body, and it releases a
stream of chemicals. Our best medical science confirms that the body does
not seem to distinguish between a physical event and a strong thought or
memory of an event. This means we have immense power to make ourselves
strong and well, or sick and depressed, according to the thoughts and images
we choose to give our attention.
We have launched a
powerful new training in imaginal healing. In this powerful, high-octane
course, you'll claim your power to be the healer of your own life and the
shaman of your own soul – and to bring gifts of healing to others.
Growing Personal Imagery for Healing
While guided imagery
scripts can be useful, the most powerful imagery for healing comes fresh
from our own lives and especially our dreams, which are constantly showing
us what is going on inside the body and what it needs to get well or stay
well. Dream images also connect us with parts of ourselves we have neglected
or repressed, and connect us with a wiser and deeper Self that can
facilitate direct healing and empowerment.
Journeying to Places of Healing
We'll learn to shift
consciousness - sometimes aided by gentle shamanic drumming - and journey to
places of healing in the imaginal realm.
Imaginal Healing through the Energy Centers
We'll embark on an
imaginal journey through the chakras to identify and connect with living
symbols, especially allies in healing that appear in the forms of birds and
animals. Connecting with our animal allies is a fabulous way to raise and
restore vital energy, and will show us the natural path of our energy.
Soul Recovery
Journeys
Imaginal healing
addresses soul as well as body. We'll make a journey to connect with aspects
of ourselves that may have gone lost or missing - through pain or trauma or
wrenching life choices. We'll learn that we can play counselor and mentor to
a younger self who may be in desperate need of guidance.
Claiming the Healing Power of Story
We’ll learn the truth of
Joseph Campbell’s insight that healing is what happens when we move “beyond
suffering into myth”. There is immense healing and empowerment available
when we awaken to our bigger story - the story that may be hunting us
through the dramas and challenges of everyday life – and help others to
recognize the bigger story that is hunting them.
Healing through Creative Expression
We'll play all kinds of
fabulous games of creative expression - performance, theatre, artwork,
humor, storytelling, improvising personal healing talismans and spontaneous
ritual - to help ourselves and others connect with our "wonder-child",
develop superabundant energy and laugh and dance away whatever ails us.
Healing through Sound
We’ll play with the
healing power of music and the human voice, and identify and benefit from
the tunes – old and new and freshly created – that can help us to relax,
release stress, regain energy and open and lift up the heart.
Vision Transfer
We can grow and gift a
dream - a healing image, a life vision, a road for soul - to someone in need
of a dream. Vision Transfer (an original technique developed by Robert Moss)
has proven to be deeply healing and rewarding in many situations. It is
easily learned and quickly brings our natural intuitive abilities richly
alive.
Join us for a week
of deep exploration and empowerment,as we learn the open secret that can
heal our lives and our world:
“The stronger the
imagination, the less imaginary the results.” (Rabindranath Tagore)
