Using Metaphors and Imagery for Tissue Rebuilding

If you are a believer in the power of the mind and the mind-body connection, consider using metaphors and imagery for tissue rebuilding.

Maybe an ankle sprain or a hip fracture…maybe a stroke or leg amputation. Regardless of the physical injury or condition, your tissues must rebuild.

Empower this healing with your mind. Use your imagination - with metaphor imagery - for better, faster healing.

Healing metaphors must be meaningful to you. So, use regular experiences that you live every day. Here are some examples:

  • Organizing a closet

  • Putting together a puzzle

  • Fixing a meal

  • Knitting a sweater

  • Assembling an Amazon-product (LOL)

  • Preparing a presentation

Once you determine your favorite metaphor, overlay the injured part with its imagery. Imagine the actions of your metaphor happening within and around your tissues.

Create a full-sensory experience. Feel the joy of accomplishment and success!

Allow your mind to support and enhance your body!
