Expressive Arts Therapy: GIM-Guided Imagery and Music


Welcome to UniKrea´s GIM page


The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is a music therapy method using recorded classical music as a way to get in touch with and explore our inner self.

With the music as her guide, the traveler embarks on her inner journey which may become a rich and extraordinary experience with encounters of healing images and sounds, discovery of lost memories and dreams.

The music evokes imagery, feelings, sensations which the traveler will move through in her own particular way.

After the induction which will bridge the gap between our ordinary awareness and the altered awareness used in GIM, the client, in GIM called "traveler", is invited to let the music be her guide while voyaging through her inner world.

After the journey, painting a mandala can deepen and expand the musical experience. Images, feelings and sensations experienced during the journey are further explored with words in the post-session.
