ARE PLEASED TO OFFER:
The Effects of
Embodied Imagination on Physical Illness & Pain
For 1000 years during the beginning of Western medicine (500 B.C. – 500 A.D.),
only dream-based medicine was ubiquitously practiced throughout this entire
period. The word clinic comes from the couches on which the patients slept to
receive a dream for the cure of their physical ills.
The scientific rationale for reviving clinical dream incubation in the 21st
century is the current studies on placebo which, since the use of MRI’s in the
1990s, have clearly demonstrated that imagination creates a powerful meaning
response which can be pin pointed with great precision in the brain. Clinical
dream incubation profoundly triggers this physiological meaning response arising
from psycho-social contexts. During the incubation process a particular issue is
intentionally somatised so it can be felt acutely in the body. The material
derived from the responding dreams, when worked in an embodied fashion, creates
a powerful healing response.
