Who can benefit from Guided Imagery and Music?
In GIM, altered states of consciousness occur with the music listening experience. Altered, dreaming states are initially evoked in concentration and focus on the body, breath and mind in preparation for listening. These states are sustained and modulated in intensity throughout the listening experience by the particular qualities of the music and verbal dialogue between client and therapist.
