Image a healthy body, free of cancer and pain

In the last post, we discussed food as an important healer with cancer, as well as healthy eating as a way to prevent cancer.

Today we discuss guided imagery, a type of relaxation exercise designed to engage your mind, body and spirit, which many people have found extremely helpful for reducing stress and pain, acclerating healing and changing negative thoughts. I like the Health Journeys imageries by Belleruth Naparstak (shown at left) which you can order as CDs or downloads from her site.

However, there are a number of quality imagery sessions online that you can listen to and download for free that the Kaiser Permanente health site. When you click on the link, scroll down to look for topics of radiation, healthy immune system and successful surgery.

Belleruth also talks about her husband's bout with cancer and the valuable lessons that she learned with that experience.

If you don't have cancer, you'll notice many other topics that are helpful for stress reduction, pain relief, healthy sleep and many other health issues.
