    Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music

    “The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music is a music-centered, consciousness-expanding therapy developed by Dr. Helen L. Bonny. Therapists trained in the Bonny Method choose music sequences that stimulate journeys of the imagination. Experiencing imagery in this way facilitates clients’ integration of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of well-being“.
