Guided Imagery

Guided imagery is a simple technique that has proven to be very effective in helping students feel less nervous or upset, be less bothered by pain, and achieve athletic or academic goals.  Through guided imagery, you use your imagination to create an alternate environment, which can actually change how you are feeling and what you are focused on.  The videos below will help you practice this technique - be sure to note that the videos are not made to *watch*, but to *listen to*.  As you listen to them, make sure you are seated in a comfortable position, away from distractions.  Take deep, slow breaths as you listen to the videos.
