Many cultures have used music in altered states of consciousness for healing, and research into the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM) has shown that this music psychotherapy modality can assist with issues such as grief and loss, trauma, addictions and chronic health issues, as well as enhancing wellbeing and supporting spiritual practice. There has also been research into the benefits of integrating mindfulness with music therapy, and many spiritual traditions use music together with meditation and prayer for spiritual development.

This face-to-face workshop will provide an overview of the use of music in altered states of consciousness, and offer an introduction to BMGIM. Participants will be guided through a music and imagery experience as well as mindful movement (Qigong) and several music meditations. There will be opportunities for questions and discussion, and resources and practical tips will also be provided.
