PAIN TREATMENT/CREATIVE IMAGINATION SCALE (CIS): WATER ‘HALLUCINATION’

Keep your eyes closed. By using your imagination constructively, you can experience the feeling of drinking cool, refreshing water. First, imagine that you’ve been out in the hot sun for hours and you’re very, very thirsty. Your lips are dry and you feel so thirsty. You’re so thirsty. Now, picture yourself on a mountain where the snow is melting, forming a stream of cool, clear water. Imagine yourself dipping a cup into this mountain stream so you can have a cool, refreshing drink of water. As you think of sipping the water, tell yourself it’s absolutely delicious as you feel it going down your throat, it is cold, beautiful and delicious. Feel the coolness and beauty of the sparkling water as you take a sip. Now, think of taking another sip of water and think of it going over your lips and tongue, going down your throat, down into your stomach. Feel how cool, refreshing, delicious and beautiful it is before taking another sip. So cool, cold, sweet, beautiful, delicious and refreshing. Think of taking another sip now and feel the cool water going into your stomach — so beautiful, cool, and wonderful. . . Absolutely delicious. . . Absolute pleasure.
