Mind Magic Techniques for Transforming Your Life [Paperback]

Marta Hiatt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2001

The key to changing your life for the better lies in the ability to change your thoughts and beliefs. Easier said than done? Yes, if you don't know where to begin or how to let go of your negative programming.

Mind Magic was written to let you accomplish the miracle of transforming your life by transforming yourself. Marta Hiatt, an experienced psychotherapist, gives you a full set of easily mastered techniques including self-hypnosis, guided visualizations, and self-healing affirmations. These tools will let you erase the negative mental patterns that poison your life and let your light shine as it was meant to. Dr. Hiatt also explains in clear, non-technical language why these methods are so effective—and reveals some surprising truths about the role of consciousness in the universe.

Your future is being formed right now within your conscious and subconscious mind. What you believe and habitually visualize is the underlying basis of everything you experience as reality. If  a negative inner life creates a negative outer life, then the opposite is also true. The secret to success is in learning how to transform your inner landscape so your life fulfills your highest promise, and not your worst fears.

This is the purpose of Mind Magic. These techniques are easily understood and readily mastered, yet their effect cannot be overstated. Health, love, prosperity, self-confidence, inner peace: there is nothing you can not create when you work with the source—your own mind.

This review is from: Mind Magic Techniques for Transforming Your Life (Paperback)

What I liked about this book is that it doesn't focus on just one method of change, such as affirmations, visualizations or self-hypnosis, which may not work for everyone. Rather, it offers a potpourri of techniques for improving one's life without the "psychobabble" found in many self-help books. Dr. Hiatt clearly shows how people can change negative tapes that were programmed into their subconcious when they were young and substitute images that are positive and affirming.

This review is from: Mind Magic Techniques for Transforming Your Life (Paperback)

Marta Hiatt writes in the tradition of the great 20th century metaphysicians like Dr Joseph Murphy, Florence Scovel-Shinn and Catherine Ponder, but her style is thoroughly updated for the 21st century and her work is firmly grounded and integrated in psychology - she also draws on the experience she has acquired as a marriage and family therapist.

In the first part, The Evolution Of Consciousness, she explains how the mind works, while the second part provides Techniques For Transformation such as affirmation, self-hypnosis, imagination, visualization and the goal of it all: cosmic consciousness. A rich array of helpful affirmations are provided, plus the best ways of using them, and there's a chapter on proper nutrition, stress and exercise.

The appendices include detailed information for relaxation plus suggestions for self-hypnosis. There are apposite quotes and bibliographic references throughout the text, as well as an extensive bibliography and index, and the book is well-illustrated with figures explaining various aspects of consciousness.

The secret to success is learning how to transform one's inner landscape so your life fulfills your highest promise. This book, a classic of the genre, informs you how to do this in an intelligent but easy-to-understand manner and is the best I have encountered in quite some time. I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Mind Magic Techniques for Transforming Your Life (Paperback)

Marta Hiatt gives you all you need to know to create for yourself a life you'll love getting up in the morning to live.

No psychobabble, technobabble, or egobabble. Straight and to the point techniques you can use right now to create the life you want.

Even if you are already where you want to be, you will learn so much about how you work mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, you will be empowered to start on a dime to make changes happen for you should your find your circumstances altered by life, like the death of a loved one, loss of a job, home or physical ability/ies.

Magic ways really do exist and Ms. Hiatt tells you how to do a number of things that will empower you in ways you can't even imagine. Sure, there are other magic books out there. I don't know about you, but when I finished them, I still felt I was in the same place I was when I started. Sure, I picked up a tip or two, but nothing like Hiatt's instructions. Do this and get that result. Sound simple? It is. All you have to do is do it. I am doing it. I wish for you the motivation to do it as well. Are these ways magic bullets? They are the closest thing I have ever found.
