Dear Duane,

Thank you for commenting here — and for wanting to help people who are hospitalized! That’s a wonderful and commendable project.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the contacts necessary to move your idea forward. And, though I do write about health for magazines, my articles are far more “tips-based” and practical than this. I don’t do this type of medical reporting or writing.

I wish you all the best with this, and hope that you find the right person or organization to help.

Blessings,
Laurie

Hello Laurie:
I started a project ten years ago to help improve the psyche of patients who are hospitalized. Every day, I solicit help to move the project forward clinically, but cannot find anyone to help me. I am confused about the reasons for this resistance, because I know that these five new ideas are needed.
I am hoping that you will be kind enough to help me with this project. You have the contacts needed to see it move forward to clinical trials etc. It does have unique ideas that would be newsworthy for a column or story idea.
I also wanted to let you know that my KID’S CLUB unit is available for gratis donation. I cannot even give this valuable ( $1300) unit away. The project script and photos are in my Blog at : http://duanewyatt.wordpress.com. I hope that you will want to help this project, thanks very much. Duane Wyatt

Hello,

It’s really very good to know about visualization.You have described it very well. I’ve always been interested in learning the connection between mind and body. I know that visualization is useful for your body and health because it can relax your body.

Thank you very much for this wonderful post.

Arthur,

Thanks for your comment — I was wondering about the difference between visualization and guided imagery while writing this article, but didn’t look it up. I’m glad you clarified it, and hope to see you back on Quips and Tips soon!

There’s a difference between visualization, guided imagery, and mediation. Here’s what an inner health website says:

Visualization – visualizing something for relaxation or making positive changes. This may include visualizing a relaxing scene, visualizing healing occurring, visualizing the stages of a breath, or other mental images.

Guided imagery – the process of being guided through calming or helpful mental images. Includes following along with a description of a peaceful place or calming scene, healing process, or other guided images.

Meditation – focusing the mind for the purposes of relaxation or making positive changes.

They can all be used for the natural healing process, but it’s important to note the difference between visualization and guided imagery.

Thank you,
Arthur
