Video 5 – Imagery to Promote Immunity and Healing
By Christopher Shen, Psychologist · 31 July 2023
I am again delighted to share with you another in my 6-video Building Resilience series. This fifth video takes you through a 'construction site' imagery technique you can use daily to heal and improve your immunity and health. This technique is one of the most successful to use when you are experiencing an illness, injury or are feeling distressed.
Imagery techniques like the one I share here can be used to create a psychological and emotional state that helps healing and reduce stress – specifically, reducing blood serum levels of the chemical cortisol and promoting a sense of control and hope.
It is my hope that you can use the technique in this video to feel more healthy, healed and robust, and more resilient overall.
Like all the activities I've shared so far, this technique comes from my book Wrestling with Resilience.
