Close your eyes and visualize a lemon. Try to see it clearly. Watch yourself cut it and take a bite out of it. If you are like most people, you will experience the sour, acid taste in your mouth. You will salivate and your glands will react as though you really bit a lemon. Next, relax, close your eyes and visualize yourself running up and down a flight of steps. Your heart rate should increase even though you are sitting down and relaxing. These are just two simple examples of how imagining or visualizing something can produce real physical changes.

Visualizations have been used to reduce and control pain, lower blood pressure, cure phobias and even turn average athletes into good ones and improve the good ones even more. Research shows that visualizing yourself making the perfect golf swing or sinking a basketball actually increases your ability to do what you visualize. Jack Nicholas once said that he never took a shot until he had visualized it falling perfectly.

In the 1970's, Carl Simonton, MD, developed a visualization technique that helped individuals with cancer and other tumors to contribute to their own healing. Since then, other self-healing visualizations have been developed.

Since studying under Dr. Simonton, Dr. Yarnell has used visualization techniques to help with many different physical problems including cancer, a brain tumor that responded well and many different types of pain problems. Dr. Yarnell cut his own healing time in half after a hernia operation. The visualization he used was to watch the incision close like a zipper and then watch as the zipper disolved into nice, fresh skin. (The visualization was done 3 times a day and was started 1 week before the surgery and continued until he was healed completely)

This cassette tape and the written instructions will show you how to develop a self-healing program just for you and your individual physical problem.

This cassette tape will relax you, give you self-healing suggestions and will then guide you into the space where you will visualize the healing imagery you developed from the written instructions. The tape will then bring you back to an awake state.

This program is not a substitute for medical treatment but it is one more way you can use to help your body heal itself.
