Synopsis

There is a creative power in the mind that offers unlimited possibilities to all of us. This potential has been virtually unused, except by those great ones we laud as geniuses, inventors, and heroes. The irony — and the promise — of this important ability is that it is certainly not restricted to those who have discovered its value; it is available to you and me in equal measure. We can all experience deep relaxation, health, abundance, love, and peace of mind to the extent that we are willing to channel our imaginative abilities in the proper way. To put it more practically, if you want to be something in life — such as more relaxed, clear, or loving — you must first get a mental vision of your ideal self, and then nurture this picture with positive thoughts. This blueprint for personal growth has been demonstrated many times over in my life, and I stand behind it with the deepest confidence. The purpose of this book is to enable you to make use of this important principle in your personal and professional life. Ideas are only as useful as they are practical, and the images in this guide will prove their worth as you experiment with them. Each visualization is intended to develop a specific experience of tranquility, according to your need or that of your client. It was Jonathan Livingston Seagull’s teacher who put it very simply: “Begin by knowing that you’ve already arrived” This text is a series of guided mental images — mind pictures — which can create positive changes in mental, emotional, and physical well-being. These images have been demonstrated to be powerful tools for personal growth. This is a handbook for personal and professional use of the techniques. It includes suggestions for teachers, counselors, and persons in the helping and healing professions who would like to bring about deeper relaxation, heightened creativity, and improved health in students, clients, or patients. You may use these processes for yourself, with individuals, or with groups
