Publisher's Synopsis
Image Priming is a part of a new generation of mindfulness training. Its working premise is that a powerful understanding of diverse professional techniques is revealed when we go beyond words and verbal analysis. Image Priming does this through a systematic protocol of brief image-based deepening exercises. These can be seamlessly applied in any existing relaxation or meditation program.Imagine Priming is written in an engaging, conversational style; appropriate for students and teachers alike. Numerous visual deepening tasks make every page an interesting, provocative, and at times highly personal adventure. Training formats can range from single-exercise demonstrations and one-week multi-exercise reviews to full-semester surveys. Overall, exercises are designed for anyone regardless of religious or secular background or exercise familiarity.Image Priming was developed by Dr. Jonathan Smith, Professor of Psychology at Chicago's Roosevelt University. Dr. Smith is an international expert in mindfulness for over 50 years. He has taught over 6000 relaxation and mindfulness students and is the author of over 20 books used around the world. Image Priming is based on his Third-Generation Mindfulness system.
