all have the ability to create internal spaces which reproduce images of things seen or creatively produce images without the presence of a thing or object. The fantasy is a mental activity comprising dream, imagine, plan, think, remember the past, anticipating the future. Fantasy from this point of view is valuable because it allows us to contact the living, or create for the future. Now, when we took it through a reverse direction, we would be avoiding contact with reality, spending time and energy on things that do not set, in other words lose touch with life.
The ability to fantasize is not lost on people but is useful when we realize that we can self-discovery, and know a little more.
in Gestalt psychotherapy, there are tools that allow this self-knowledge, including guided imagery or imaginary journey that is to follow the instructions that will provide the therapist, while you relax and in a quiet close your eyes, without falling asleep. The instructions should be read so slowly. The goal of guided imagery is that you fully experience the fantasy, contacts and experience what it feels when you exercise. Once you gain some experience may experience their own imaginary journeys.
Initially recommend seeking a complete physical relaxation where you will relax every part of the body, it is important to place in a comfortable position @ to start your relaxation and then move to guided imagery.
The following fantasy directed by John Stevens (1991):
"Now I'd imagine that you're a stump in the mountains. Become the trunk of your environment árbol.Visualicese and Visualise ...
Use some time to feel it is a tree trunk .. can help yourself describing what kind of trunk you? .. What is it? ..
What type of bark and roots have? ... Try to empathize with the experience of being a tree trunk ... How is the existence of stem tree? .. What
of things happen being that trunk? ...
Pretty close to the trunk is a hut. I would now become the cottage ... And again, I would like to feel the taste of experiences as
cabin ... How are you ?...¿ What are their characteristics? Research your .. existence as a cottage ... What have you inside and what happens? ... Use a
time to make contact with the experience of that cabin ...
About that cabin there is a stream. I would like to become in that stream. As stream What kind of life do you have? ... What kind of stream are you? ...
How does it feel to be stream ?...¿ What kinds of experiences is being stream ?...¿ How are your settings? ...
Being that stream, I would like to speak to the cabin. What do you say to the cabana? ... Talk to the cabin and imagine that the cabin will respond, so
maintains a dialogue, a conversation ... As arroyo What does the cabin and what answers it? ...
now become a cottage again and continue the conversation.
What's to say the stream? ... Continue this dialogue for a while ... (You can also hold dialogues between the trunk and the cabin, or between the trunk and the creek.)
Now say goodbye to the mountains. Say goodbye to the cabin, the creek and trunk, and return to this room and its existence here ... Open your eyes when you feel like it ...
I would like now to express the experience of being the trunk, arroyo.Quiero hut and do it in first person present "I am ..."
"As I am old trunk and twisted. I am in the ground and the squirrels sit on top of me and cracking nuts, or whatever their experience of being a tree trunk ..."
is useful to remember that each directed fantasy or imaginary journey has a purpose that of self-revelation, self-knowledge.
