Just by reading the simple short and sharply clear visualisation scripts put me into trance in the bookshop. I have always had a reasonably clear imagination, however, this book maginified my ability to see clear internal pictures, and use my internal senses. It quickly improved my ability to concentrate and remember. The descriptions are fabulous, and I have read many other books on creativity, visualisation and hypnosis, and have never come across such valuable practical information regarding how to improve internal and external senses. The quality of my sleep and skin condition have improved as a direct result of following the advice in this book. It's also the most enjoyable way I have found to attain deep relaxation. Thankyou Dr. Fezler

Do you enjoy daydreaming? Well you can't do any better than this book! Not only are you given specific imagery, scenes and scenarios to work on, Dr Fezler tells you HOW to visualize---in all 5 senses: how to make colors brighter, tastes more real---to make it short, he helps you enter virtual reality. I have enjoyed this book for several years now. You should too.

As a practicing hypnotherapist for more than 12 years, I have helped hundreds of people create positive and lasting changes in their lives. Much of my work involves imagery, and I have found this book to be a very valuable resource. I sincerely recommend it.

I have had anxiety since my childhood, and I tried meditation several times to calm my fears down, however it was not for me. I purchased this book at a yard sale, read it that same night, and could immediately feel a difference with the first "scene" that I learned to invoke in my mind. I keep it at the foot of my bed to use whenever I have a hard time sleeping, too. I highly recommend it. I just wish there was a taped version of it, as it is sometimes awkward to read and imagine at the same time (or, you have to learn the scenes by heart, but they are only one paragraph long).

Fezler has worked with Kroger so his bona fides are impeccable. This book is very unusual. It essentially tells you how to focus on imagery in self-hypnosis rather than merely emphasise verbal self-suggestion. But although it is on one hand an excellent book on self-hypnosis per se (written in a very user-friendly tone), it's also something else. It's really a manual on how to build up the skill of mental imagery brick by brick. It's quite extraordinary. This book has nothing to do with New Age nonsense (though Fezler raises some open-minded questions), but it really does feel a little bit like a manual for cabalistic magicians, in as much as it tells you exactly what to do to develop vivid pictures. Indispensable. The other book you should get is Simpkins and Simpkins, 'Effective Self-Hypnosis'. The best book out there with this one a very useful and exhilirating complement.

Fezler's relaxation script is the best method of relaxation I've come across. It is fast--about seven minutes--and the relaxation is unusually deep. Tape record it from the book and prepare to zonk out. My own experience with the images is incomplete, but I immediately noticed increased sensory awareness and vividness. It's almost freaky. The book is padded with lots of new-age speculation and positive case examples. That doesn't do much for me, so I just skim over them. But the exercises are are bargain at twice the price. As others have mentioned, you have to DO the exercises to get the effect.

I've had this book for years and love it. The "Bluebird" visualization for time distortion really works! I enjoy every one of these visualizations and they all have some benefit for me. I wish he was still actively writing. I'd love to take a class from him.

This book is very good, especially if you are interested in visualization, relaxation, meditation and the like. The author gives practical advice to improve your visualization, however, it is important to devote time to it, if you just read the book and forget about it you won't see many results; this is a guide to practice a skill that can help improve every aspect of your life. I whish there was a tape version with the exercises on tape, that will help a lot.

I certainly agree with a previous reviewer that Dr Fezler's credential's are impeccable, and I would add that his intentions seem to be admirable: He comes across as a warm and caring man. And his explanation of the basics of self hypnosis in chapter two is the best I've ever seen. However, I have reservations over his application, and some considerable concern over his interpretation of hypnotic experiences.

No doubt some people will like the set protocol Fezler presents; it certainly brings to the fore the need for self-hypnosis to be a multi-sensory experience. But in my view, there is little room for the reader to become self-directive as is permitted in books like Dr Christian Godefroy's *Super Health* or Drs Alman and Lambrou's *Self Hypnosis* - both of which are less subjective and more pragmatic.

My greatest concern is that Fezler arbitrarily interprets an experience of free-flow thinking on his part as a communication from the dead, but without the checks and balances that are vital. I do not contest the existence of psi phenomena, having had such experiences myself. But I do believe we must take care to differentiate between psychic experience and fantasy. At times, Fezler seems to unwittingly step over the line, and to encourage his clients to do the same.

I can imagine he would be very different in a face-to-face consultation, but I still can only give his book 2 stars in comparison to others of its kind.

I was very pleased with both the price and ship time. The book was sent in protective wrap insde the package and was in excellent condition.Creative Imagery
