Here are some places to find guided imagery resources. Remember, unless you need specific support, you don't need a provider in order to practice guided imagery. Most people can use it on their own using resources like these.
If you'd like to learn more about guided imagery, including how to create your own guided imagery scripts, check out our Guided Imagery course as part of our Integrative Health and Medicine Specialization.
