Our minds are visual machines. And the images that we hold and replay in our minds guide the direction of our life.This book shows you how to change your internal images so you can improve the quality of life.It is a great book that not only talks in depth about the power of your inner mind but how to use visualization to create the life you desire.Another powerful book on the subject is The Art and Science of Visualization: A Practical Guide for Self-Help, Self-Healing, and Improving Other Areas of Yourself. It also has a lot of practical techniques to help you manifest, change, and improve yourself and your life.
Major and minor topics and issues to be worked-out and worked-on are covered in an artful way. "Creative Visualization" seems to be a surprisingly rich and practical source of advice on taking meditation from centering to extending in positive directions. Shakti Gawain has created a very friendly manual of finding and making your positive creative visions come true. This book presents a very positive and gentle source of various methods to creatively envision and support small and large "Golden Dreams" -- ones that have "Inner Gold Value".With numerous recent "get-rich-quick" presentations, must-join insider-groups, pyramid-scams and wanna-be "Gold Gurus" -- it is all-the-more refreshing that this modest little work, "Creative Visualization", by Shakti Gawain -- allows seekers to follow their own good and true "Vision Quests" -- for far less "outer gold" -- but with a needed "investment" of "Inner Gold". To Golden Dreams +++
The book also helped me understand myself better. I have found my copy of the book in the library sale and it is the older edition. I now want to get meditation tapes mentioned in the reference part of the book and relaxation music. I found book to be very helpful in explaining how our internal beliefs can lead us to get sick or get well, attain our goals, or find spiritual fulfillment. I have never thought that one can picture or draw a "treasure map", outlining (our) internal desire on how to attain a particular goal.I found samples of meditation techniques and afirmations very helpful. I intend to read additional book on the topic from Ms. Gawain herself and also other writers in the field she is recommending.
I first read this incredible book in the 1980s and it still remains the very finest, most practical, most kindly work on the whole subject of manifesting incredible change in our lives. The outcomes are truly incredible - life changing, almost miraculous. It is so understandable with such clear instructions and written with empathy, kindness and genuine caring. Each chapter links to the next smoothly and without any unnecessary "padding", waffling or repetition. Like all truly great coaches, Gawain remains very low key, guiding the reader to create their own success without ever using the book as a vehicle to take centre stage for herself. She is like a friend who wants only the best for you and shares gifts gladly.Gawain is admirably free of complex or obscure psychology or the worst excesses of New Age eccentricities.Importantly, the reader does not have to use all of the techniques offered but can select the ones that are most effective for them.If I could only have one book about creativity and manifestation this would be it.
This is a really good book for the simple fact that there are sections devoted to visualization and meditation exercises. Great for anyone trying to gain a better perspective on their life.
