STEVE BRATMAN, MD,
author of The Natural Health Bible

Like icebergs floating in the seaonly partially visible to others and ourselvesa good part of what goes on in us lies beneath awareness. It helps to connect with the deep layer of fears and desires that shape us. Not to shed light where darkness is appropriate, but to glimpse the forces that make us who we are. When they are handled carefully, images span the gap between the dark unknown and the concerns of living. The bridge, the dialogue, and the connection are all healing. This book can help you make those connections, offering relief from the stresses and conflicts of living.

author of A Life at Work

Acknowledgments

I AM FORTUNATE to have a stellar team of professionals with me on this book. Special thanks go to my editor, Veronica Randall, to designer Katy Brown, and to former vice president Jo Ann Deck and former acquisitions manager Julie Bennett, four amazing women at Ten Speed Press whose creativity make my jaw drop. Thanks also to Jack Scovil, my literary agent, who is a wonderful advocate and champion.

I want to express my gratitude for the community that formed around me in the creation of this book. First, to my familyMom, Jean, Dad, Tom (he cheers from the heavens along with sweet and sassy niece, Courtney), Andrew, Ben and Kendall, Kerry and John, Nancy and Jayplus many friends and colleagues, whose gifts are woven into these pages. Some brought insight to the manuscript. Others bolstered my spirits and joined their enthusiasm with mine. To all of you who have offered your time, talents, and loving support, I give you my deep thanks.

I cannot count the many mentors and colleagues who have influenced me and so influenced this book. Although my first imagery teaching came through the lineage of Chishti Sufis and years of embodying living images in a dance career, I have also been influenced by Jeanne Achterberg; Academy of Guided Imagery founders Martin Rossman, MD, and David Bressler; Belleruth Naparstek; and spiritual teachers, including Thich Nhat Hanh, Byron Katie, and Eckhart Tolle.

And then there are my heart teachers, the many clients who have so openly shared the pain, beauty, confusion, and clarity of their lives. Some who share their stories are deeply disguised. Others have generously given permission to tell their stories without alterations or only thinly veiled. Special thanks go to the beautiful women in the wellness group, whose stories deserve a book of their own.

And infinite gratitude to the One glorious and mysterious Heart that so generously embraces us all.

Foreword

WE ALL HAVE DREAMnight dreams, daydreams, and visions-yet-to-be-revealed. In our dreams and our own moments of worry and fantasy, each of us has extensive experience with the natural and powerful modes of imagery and visualization. Leslie Davenport has braided her experience and expertise in psychology, spiritual practices, and expressive arts with guided imagery. She has fashioned a practical approach to the healing aspects of imagery in ways that are understandable to all readers and useful in our daily lives.

Healing and Transformation through Self-Guided Imagery is an accessible guide to harnessing the power of our intuition and imagination. Leslie first brought this ancient practice to the halls of contemporary medicine eighteen years ago. Guided imagery is not limited to health crises, but while working with Leslie, I have seen the ways this powerful practice has benefited people in the hospital environment. Leslie is a true pioneer in bringing guided imagery into the mainstream of the practice of medicine.
