Image Priming is a part of a new generation of mindfulness training. Its working premise is that a powerful understanding of diverse professional techniques is revealed when we go beyond words and verbal analysis. Image Priming does this through a systematic protocol of brief image-based deepening exercises. These can be seamlessly applied in any existing relaxation or meditation program.
Imagine Priming is written in an engaging, conversational style; appropriate for students and teachers alike. Numerous visual deepening tasks make every page an interesting, provocative, and at times highly personal adventure. Training formats can range from single-exercise demonstrations and one-week multi-exercise reviews to full-semester surveys. Overall, exercises are designed for anyone regardless of religious or secular background or exercise familiarity.
Image Priming was developed by Dr. Jonathan Smith, Professor of Psychology at Chicago’s Roosevelt University. Dr. Smith is an international expert in mindfulness for over 50 years. He has taught over 6000 relaxation and mindfulness students and is the author of over 20 books used around the world. Image Priming is based on his Third-Generation Mindfulness system.

Jonathan C. Smith, PhD is a professor of psychology at Chicago’s Roosevelt University and founding director of the Roosevelt University Mindfulness Initiative. In his 50 years at the University, he has served as teacher, supervisor, program director, researcher, clinical psychologist, and most notably initiator of the Roosevelt University doctoral program (PsyD) in clinical psychology. Dr. Smith has studied and practiced mindfulness and contemplative techniques since 1969. Since 1975 he has taught over 150 mindfulness classes of over 4,000 students.
Not wedded to any specific tradition, his approach is inclusive, flexible, individualized, and based on science. A typical course covers a complete menu of exercises, including at least the following: yoga, breathing exercises, muscle relaxation autogenic self-suggestion, imagery, mantra meditation, and full mindfulness.
Dr. Smith’s publications include more than 20 books (with more in preparation). His training materials have been used and translated around the world (Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Korea, Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Republic of South Africa, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan).
