Dear ,
My guest this month
is Dr. David Bresler, author of Free Yourself From Pain,
and Break Your Smoking Habit With Guided Imagery
and we'll be talking about the power of your mind to heal and transform
every arena of your life. I have known Dr. Bresler since about 1970. To my delight I had found one of the very few licensed
professionals who had discovered, as I had, that the tools of hypnosis
could be combined with those of psychology and spirituality to provide
a powerful way for individuals and groups to achieve their true goals
and highest degree of health and wellness.
Our paths have intertwined for the
many intervening years, teaching together, exploring advances in the
field, and during the annual conferences of the Academy for Guided Imagery,
the professional organization he cofounded a few decades ago.
This years conference will be held online, so you can attend from anywhere,
and hear the cutting edge science of using imagery, affirmation, meditation,
and mindfulness from the scientists and clinicians who are making it
happen. More information on the Academy for Guided Imagery website.
Dr. Bresler is a brilliant and creative
thinker, a skillful clinician, an inspiring storyteller and always gives
a fascinating interview. So don't miss eavesdropping on two
old friends exploring the world of guided imagery we helped create!
Warmly,
Emmett Miller MD
