Welcome to the Magic of SMGI®: A Journey Without Psychedelics
Welcome to SMGI® Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®, a substance-free medicine.
Now why would I say that? In the 1950s up till the mid-60s, it was a peak period for psychedelic research. Scientists conducted various studies on the effects of psychedelics on our consciousness, perception, and mental health. Notable figures like Cary Grant, Aldous Huxley, and Steve Jobs shared their experiences. Grant said it gave him profound insight and personal growth, Huxley advocated for responsible use to expand our consciousness, and Steve Jobs credited his creativity to these substances. But what if we could achieve these profound insights, personal growth, and expanded consciousness without psychedelics?
Welcome to the world of SMGI®. Let’s meet Gina Vance, the creator, and understand what this medicine is. Watch the video or listen to the podcast till the end, where Gina guides us through a beautiful mindfulness meditation to connect with our inner wisdom.

What is SMGI®?
A concept that truly resonates within SMGI® is the idea of inner resources. Imagine having a treasure chest within you, filled with wisdom, strength, and insight. You don’t need to search externally for healing; SMGI® helps you connect with your inner wisdom. As Dolly Parton humorously noted, “God didn’t make plastic surgeons so they’d have nothing to do.” While medical interventions have their place, connecting with your inner resources can dramatically enhance your experiences and interactions with the world around you.
Inner Resources: Tapping into Your Inner Wisdom
One thing that really struck me was the concept of inner resources. It’s like having a treasure chest inside you, filled with wisdom and strength. You don’t need to go to a doctor or anywhere else to fix you; your method helps connect to your inner wisdom. Yes, all of us have inner wisdom, and SMGI® helps you access it. Dolly Parton once said, “God didn’t make plastic surgeons so they’d have nothing to do.” While there’s a place for physicians, connecting with our inner resources can exponentially enhance any interaction with the outer world.
The Role of Imagination in SMGI®
Initially, I found it challenging to engage my imagination on this journey. My logical, analytical mind struggled to let go. But Gina reassured me that if I had worries or stress, I was already adept at using my imagination—just negatively. Worry and stress are simply forms of negative imagination. Through simple practices like connecting with your body, using breathwork, and shifting your focus to the right side of your brain, SMGI® can awaken your imagination, much like waking Sleeping Beauty with a kiss.
Mind-Body Connection: Bridging Two Worlds
SMGI® isn’t solely for the mind or the body; it’s for both. While many therapies focus on either the mind or the body, SMGI® bridges the gap. It combines the strengths of talk therapy and physical sensations in the body, enabling you to approach discomfort mindfully, understand it, and resolve it from within. Picture it as a bridge linking your mind and body, helping you find answers and relief through your internal guidance.
Self-Guidance: Can You Practice SMGI on Your Own?
Absolutely! Once you learn the process, you can use the tools on your own. Many of Gina’s clients have successfully practiced self-facilitation, proving that SMGI® is not about creating dependency but fostering empowerment. Whether you’ve had a few sessions or many, the goal is to equip you with the tools to practice SMGI® independently. It’s a method that allows you to find answers and relief without relying on a therapist.
The Magic of Inner Healing: personal Experiences
The true magic of SMGI® lies in its ability to facilitate unique healing experiences. In the video and podcast, Gina shared the story of a woman who, after a traumatic accident, used SMGI® tools and experienced profound changes with only three sessions. Everyone’s inner guidance knows what’s best for them. SMGI® isn’t about fixing what’s broken; it’s about realizing that you’re not broken. You’ve been navigating life with ingenuity, and this journey helps you harness that strength to create the life you desire.
Conclusion: Embrace the Journey
