Creative Visualization

When it comes to creating the life you want, Shakti Gawain literally wrote THE book. Now considered a classic, Creative Visualization teaches readers how to use their imaginations to manifest their deepest desires. In a straight-talking narrative, Gawain uses the first part to cover the basics, with chapters such as, "How to Visualize", "Affirmations", and "Creative Visualization Only Works for the Good". Once she shows readers how the visualisation process actually works, Gawain moves onto loftier discussions such as "Contacting Your Higher Self", "Meeting Your Guide", "Setting Goals" and "Treasure Maps".

Fear not, this isn't a spiritual-lightweight book for people with severe cases of the "gimmes". Gawain has her priorities in the right place, and cautions readers that creative visualisation will not serve greed or shallow-minded thinking. For example, she discourages the cycle of trying to have more money, so you can do what you want in life, so you will be happier. "The way it actually works is the reverse", she explains. "You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want". Yet she also writes an excellent chapter on letting go of the misguided guilt that inhibits readers from becoming truly prosperous. --Gail Hudson

spirtual - Rated
All I will tell you is that this book is about spiritualism and nothing else. If you dont understand spiritualism or do not want to, then this is not for you.

Great practical book - Rated
This book is easy to read and offers different techniques for visualisation as well as for meditatiation whilst emphasizing on the power of positive affirmations. The exercises are easy to do and the results are amazing. Although I would recommend for people embarking on a journey of self-discovery and to those who want to make changes in their life to read 'You can heal your life' by 'Louise L. Hay' before reading this one as it is written for people who are already spiritually engaged.

Have whatever you want - Rated
This is an excellent book both for those who are new to creative visualisation and those who have had lots of experience. Shakti's book is readable and enjoyable and she gives you lots of information on how to use these tools to create the life that you want. A must for everyone.

easy to read, inspiring, and all makes perfect sense.. - Rated
i came upon this book by accident, i have read a number of self help books but only a few inspired me to read them through to the end. It is very easy to read, explains the processes so simply and beautifully, i wish i had found this book in the first instance, i will be buying copies for friends and family to share in the experience.

Inspiration - Rated
A few years ago I read Covey's '7 Habits of highly effective people'. It changed my view of my life, but I had real difficulty 'beginning with the end in mind', because I found it really hard to decide what I truly wanted from life. I also recognised how my 'scripting' had formed my outlook. However, I was at a loss as to how to change this 'scripting'. Slowly, I have been working things out for myself by reading selected self help books and with the help of an excellent therapist/hypnotherapist.

Then I stumbled across 'creative visualisation' - the missing piece and at last a key to change my life-scripting. I have found it truly uplifting and cheering. It is simply written, clearly explained and gives good helpful techniques to start to turn around your thinking, so that your 'script' is changed for the positive. I wish I could have found this book 20 years ago, it has helped restore my faith in myself and in humanity.

As a logical scientist I was the last person to take self help books seriously, but the 2 titles mentioned here are changing my life.
