Dr. Patricia Palmer, a psychological consultant and cofounder of Hekademos Mind-Body Medicine Program, will give a talk, Using Imagery for Increased Wellness: Tools and Techniques for Changing Your Mind, at 6:30 p.m., January 2 , 2015, at Unity of Tucson, sponsored by the IONS Tucson Community Group.

Since ancient times, imagery and metaphor have been essential parts of healing. Imagery involves all the senses: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory, and serves as the language of the brain that translates directly into the ways our bodies react.
