Mental imagery involves unconscious thoughts that become conscious in the effort to heal or make whole.
Guided mental imagery is a variation wherein images are suggested by another person.
Visualization is a conscious thought process directed toward self-improvement.

Just as real or imaginary thoughts can trigger the stress response, relaxing thoughts can promote the relaxation response.
When imagination is used to promote relaxation, the body’s five senses are in effect deactivated or desensitized to stressful stimuli.

Tranquil natural scenes, or images that place one in a natural environment.
Behavioral changes, or images that allow one to see and feel oneself performing a different, more health-conscious behavior.
Internal body images, or images of trips inside the body to observe damaged or diseased tissue being healed or repaired.

Research into visualization also includes color and light therapy
The color blue appears to have a relaxing/healing effect.
Full spectrum lighting is known to have a healing effect too!
