Through numerous examples drawn from their own experience, the authors show how the techniques involved can be integrated into everyday practice. The authors describe the different processes of using guided imagery and working from a script and show how drawing can be used to augment imagery work. In addition to planned strategies for using imagery, they also show how images which arise spontaneously during sessions can be harnessed and used to enhance the therapeutic process. The practical strategies and techniques outlined in the book are examined in the context of a variety of theoretical frameworks (the person-centred approach, gestalt, existentialism and psychosynthesis) and research findings. Potential pitfalls and ethical considerations are also explored, making Guided Imagery a useful resource for practitioners and an ideal text for use on counselling and psychotherapy training courses.

There's no doubt, you will face difficult times throughout your life. You cannot avoid hardship altogether. But you are in charge of how you respond to it. In From the Holy Spirit, Diane Young -- allowing the Holy Spirit to speak to her -- offers numerous prayers to bring you strength, joy, prosperity and comfort when you need it most. These easy-to-read prayers are based on The Living Bible. Young started by writing prayers for herself, then many friends and family members facing different struggles. As more people requested prayers from her, she decided to put them into a book that could bring peace to many more of God's children. You'll want to keep this book close at hand so you can flip it open in an instant. As Exodus 14:14 states, "The Lord will fight for you" Let these prayers help you to ask for the Lord's help in dealing with any difficult situations you face currently, along with any that may come your way, and bring you comfort knowing that the Lord wants to bless you richly.
