Visualization for forgiving

The WholeFamily Dr. Gerald Epstein Center For Imagery

Remembering Love

By Dr. Gerald Epstein

Close your eyes.

Breathe out three times.

See yourself and your spouse on either side of a tree.

You both begin to grow up alongside the tree, eventually becoming taller than the tree.

When this happens, see your hearts melding and your arms intertwining knowing and renewing your love for each other.

Sense and feel what happens.

After, breathe out and open your eyes.

Dr. Epstein is a pioneer in the use of mental imagery for treating physical and emotional ailments and a prolific author. He is Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City and Director of The American Institute for Mental Imagery. His book Healing Visualizations is considered the classic text of mental imagery exercises for healing.
