In this episode, Tami speaks with Martin about the reasons guided imagery is not more present in mainstream use in spite of its clinically proven effectiveness, what the placebo effect tells us about the mind-body connection, and how you can enhance the power of guided imagery by using personal imagery.

more from Dr. Martin Rossman:
Thank you, Dr. Rossman for creating resources with Sounds True that are genuine in their intention and effective in practice. I enjoyed learning more about the impact of imagery on our physical and emotional/psychological health. Your presentation of the science and the practical application with yours and many other patients is inspiring. I have your CD on pain relief and it has turned into an absolute favorite for me. I can’t put all the reasons for why into words but it is liberating, nonjudgmental, comforting, and powerful. Tami, as always, I learn so much from your intelligent, insightful, analytical, and compassionate approach. Thank you both for creating a wonderful product and for sharing such a powerful message!

I totally agree with you, Tami, about Dr. Rossman’s soothing voice! It was a great pleasure to listen to your precious conversation. And, of course, with the power of imagination & visualisation, I’m back to Estes Park at the Assembly Hall listening to you live, Tami! Thank you both for such an inspiring and extremely empowering message I’m eager to pass on… Wishing you well, xxx
