   When Words Fail, Music Speaks.

The typical Guided Imagery Music (GIM) session begins with a preliminary conversation during which the therapist (Guide) assesses the mood and energy level of the client (Traveler) and selects the music program for the session. The client then lays down on a massage table as the Guide offers suggestions for relaxing the body and focusing the mind in preparation for the music. Once the music begins the Guide does not make suggestions as is typical in other forms of music and imagery. Instead, the Traveler takes the Guide along on his/her journey by describing the experience as it unfolds. The Guide's role is one of facilitator and witness, to support the traveler's engagement with whatever experience may come. After the 35-40 minute period of music, the Guide facilitates a return to waking consciousness, and the session is reviewed together.
