Book Description

March 1, 1998
A comprehensive guide on how to harness the power of visualization to make positive life changes. 

A guide to recovering and improving the powers of imagination and using them for positive change 

Explores visualization techniques being used today in fields as diverse as medicine, sports, psychology, and the creative arts. 

Explains the principles behind these techniques for realizing your life goals 

All the great cultures and traditions of the world have recognized that human beings can transform the circumstances and conditions of their lives by visualizing powerful images. After centuries dominated by objective science that has given the material world precedence over the spiritual, many of us have forgotten how to use this innate ability. Now researchers are rediscovering the effects of visualization on one's emotions, mental state, physical body, behavior, and even on the future. 

Creative Visualization is a guide to recovering and improving your powers of imagination and using them for positive change in your life. By means of deep relaxation and visualization techniques, Ronald Shone shows you how to succeed in business, excel in sports, improve your memory, achieve goals, raise energy levels, overcome shyness, relieve pain, and improve your health. 

With today's resurgent interest in expanded states of consciousness, creative visualization is being used in fields as diverse as medicine, sports, psychology, and the creative arts. Use this book to understand the principles behind this process and how it can help you realize your life goals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Visualization, June 10, 2002
This review is from: Creative Visualization: Using Imagery and Imagination for Self-Transformation (Paperback)
Robert Shone, author of Creative Visualization: Using Imagery and Imagination for Self-Transformation, says that everyone has imagination, but most of us have forgotten how to use it. He first explains what imagination is, then teaches readers how to use it for creative visualization that will help them change their lives.

Shone says that while visual images are the most common, people can experience imagery through sound, touch, smell, taste, and movement. His first exercise has the reader forming images based on all the senses. Thereafter, he concentrates on visual imagery, but his techniques are applicable to all types of imagery.

"The basic message," says Shone, "is that the brain, when it creates an image (whether the image is a memory or something unreal), gives rise to consistent body changes and to behavioral changes." In other words, you can change yourself by visualizing yourself as different. You can change the way you feel, mentally and physically, and you can change the way you act. Shone maintains that imagination is stronger than will, making visualization more powerful than will power.

Visualization can be used to improve all aspects of one's life. Shone offers specific suggestions for use at work, sports and hobbies, shyness, memory, achieving goals, relieving pain and improving health, and increasing energy. He also discusses using dream imagery at the conscious level and the role of visualization in working with inner guides.

Shone says that "although the range of topics is quite wide, you will soon realize that they all basically follow the same format; it then becomes much easier to form images and utilize creative visualization in virtually any aspect of living.

Readers who are interested in developing their
imaginations and using imagery for self-help will find that Creative Visualization provides the guidance and help they need to transform their lives.
