The imagination is a potent healer that has long been overlooked by practitioners of Western medicine. Imagery can relieve pain, speed healing and help the body subdue hundreds of ailments, including depression, impotence, allergies and asthma. Although it isn't always curative, imagery can be helpful in 90 percent of the problems that people bring to the attention of their primary care physicians.Imagery is the language that the mind uses to communicate with the body.If you have a headache you can visualize the pain going away and sure enough it will. However if you simply use words to say "Headache go away" it won't because that's not the language that the brain uses to communicate with the body.
The most common type of imagery is worry, this tends to do more harms than good. Your thoughts have a direct influence on the way you feel and behave. If you tend to dwell on sad or negative thoughts, you most likely are not a very happy person.This is a great example of the power the mind exerts over the body.
