Guided Imagery and Music | #18

GIM is also known as The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music because it was developed by Dr. Helen Bonny. She was a pioneer in the music therapy field and was one of the first people to understand that music has a profound impact on a person’s psyche and went as far as to make it her life’s work to do research on the subject and develop her own method of music therapy.

In today’s learning moment we dig into Guided Imagery and Music. Maggie sits down to look at the history and approach of The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music.
