Having spent three transformative years training in Deep Imagery, including the profound experience of guiding Stephen Gallegos, the founder of Deep Imagery, through this powerful practice, I’ve witnessed firsthand how this approach can unlock our innate wisdom and healing potential. Let me share with you what makes this journey so remarkable.
The Foundation: Grounding in the Present Moment
One of the first lessons I learned in my Deep Imagery training was the vital importance of grounding. Before each session, whether as guide or participant, we take time to centre ourselves through a simple yet powerful practice – imagining roots growing from our feet and body into the earth. This creates a sacred space where deeper dimensions of human experience can emerge naturally.
I’ve found this centering process invaluable in helping both myself and others move away from the scattered, fragmented sense of self that modern life often imposes. Instead, we begin to “come home to our true centre” – that place of wholeness and aliveness that exists within each of us.
Beyond the Surface: Embracing Our Inner Knowing
Like many practitioners, my journey with Deep Imagery began with recognising the limitations of traditional approaches to understanding the human psyche. While behavioral and cognitive methods certainly have their place, they often miss something essential – the rich inner dimension of human experience.
Through my training and work with clients, I’ve discovered that the imagination isn’t something we simply make up – it’s an ancient, profound way of knowing that connects us deeply to the natural world and our own inner truth. This inner knowing often speaks to us through images, feelings, and intuitive insights that carry profound wisdom for our healing journey.
The Natural Flow of Healing
What continually amazes me about Deep Imagery work is how naturally the healing process unfolds when we create the right conditions. In my three years of training and subsequent practice, I’ve witnessed time and again how the deep imagination knows exactly what each person needs for their healing journey.
Working with ‘Colin’ was particularly illuminating in this regard. As we explored the landscape of his inner world through imagery, we discovered both tremendous strengths and areas calling for gentle attention. The imagery itself guided us, revealing exactly what needed to be addressed and in what order.
Discovering Our Multiple Alivenesses
One of the most fascinating aspects of Deep Imagery work is the recognition that we aren’t simply “alive” in one way – we contain multiple “alivenesses,” each with its own unique gifts and purpose. Through my practice, I’ve seen how helping these different aspects of ourselves reconnect and work in harmony can lead to profound transformation.
The Freedom to Experience
What makes Deep Imagery therapy so powerful is its ability to help us reclaim our natural freedom to experience life fully and authentically. In my work with clients, I’ve seen how this approach can help heal deep-seated wounds and restore a sense of belonging and connection.
Your Invitation to Inner Wisdom
Whether you’re curious about exploring your own inner landscape or seeking deeper healing, Deep Imagery offers a gentle yet powerful path to reconnecting with your innate wisdom. Having walked this path myself, and guided others through their journeys, I can attest to its transformative potential.
The imagination truly holds the key to our healing and wholeness. It’s not about inventing or making things up – it’s about listening deeply to the wisdom that already exists within us, waiting to be discovered.
Through Deep Imagery, we can:
- Access our ancient ways of knowing
- Reconnect with our natural aliveness
- Integrate different aspects of ourselves
- Heal old wounds with gentle awareness
- Reclaim our freedom to experience life fully
As someone who has both experienced and guided others through this process, I invite you to explore the transformative potential of Deep Imagery therapy. Your inner wisdom is waiting to guide you home to your true nature – a place of wholeness, aliveness, and authentic being.
Deep Imagery is best learned through direct experience, not through reading or talking about it. Are you curious about what Deep Imagery might reveal for you? Are you ready to meet your inner guides and explore the rich landscape of your unconscious mind? I invite you to arrange an introductory session to discover the wisdom that lies within you and begin your personal growth and healing journey.
