Guided imagery, the use of focused concentration of formed mental images, provides the mechanism of an independent nursing intervention to facilitate mind and body healing. Nurse healers can channel clients to personal restorative potentials and independent health through this powerful and inexpensive tool. In a variety of outpatient, inpatient, chronic care, and home care settings, nurses can introduce this treatment modality early on and for lifelong use for any number of nursing diagnoses. Specific conceptualizations for women’s health are presented here. By unleashing your own and your client’s imagination, the endless possibilities of guided imagery applications and resulting self-empowerment become apparent.
