Individual Sessions

In a GIM experience, one becomes a "traveler" in an inner journey with the GIM facilitator working as a guide to assist the process. Sessions generally last 1 to 1½ hours.

Each session begins with a discussion of significant issues and concerns of the traveler. A focus or intention is agreed upon, and the guide chooses appropriate music for the session.

Once these preparations are complete, the traveler lies down and closes his or her eyes. The guide helps the traveler into a relaxed and focused state and then begins the music.

The music evokes images, sensations, and feelings and the traveler and guide dialogue together about the unfolding "journey". The traveler spontaneously describes experiences stimulated by the music while the guide supports and encourages. The program of music selections usually lasts 30 - 40 minutes.

When the music ends, the guide helps the traveler gain closure and return to an alert state. The remainder of the session is spent reflecting on the traveler's images and experiences and, if appropriate, their relevance to life issues. Often, the art therapy technique of mandala drawing is used to bring the experience into greater clarity.
