Do you have asthma or other breathing difficulties? Guided imagery is an excellent way to calm a difficult breath episode. Many people find stress aggravates their breathing, so just the de-stressing aspect of guided imagery goes a long way toward helping. However, it seems to go beyond that. In a study done at Lennox Hill Hospital in New York, more patients in the group doing imagery were able to decrease their medication, than in the control group.
The free audio imagery exercise I am offering is about 12 minutes long. I suggest you listen to it once a day. Then three or four times a day, do a short 2 – 3 minute version, on your own. If you are having a difficult attack, listen to the guided imagery if you can. You should notice a significant difference in your breathing within a week.
Do not replace your medication with guided imagery, or change your dosage, without consulting your doctor about it.
Before listening to the guided imagery, check out the post on preparing to meditate.

I could have used this last week when my allergies were off the charts! Thank you.
I hope you find it useful, Evelyn, if you ever have chart topping allergies again.
thank you, Edward. Loved the word “vibrancy.” Exactly what I want to feel.
Thank you for this great site. I cured my asthma 3 years ago with Reiki, guided meditation and Water/Salt tonics. This was after the asthma doctor said I would have to take medications for the rest of my life!
