Amazon.com Review
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 visualization actually works, Gawain moves on to 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 a severe case of the "gimmes." Gawain has her priorities in the right place, and she cautions readers that creative visualization 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

 One of those book you can't do without. July 10, 2009

This book is a must-have. I don't want to put down any other creative visualization books but I'll just say that this one is the mother of all of them. That is all.

Our minds are visual machines. And the images that we hold and replay in our minds guide the direction of our life.
This book shows you how to change your internal images so you can improve the quality of life.
It is a great book that not only talks in depth about the power of your inner mind but how to use visualization to create the life you desire.
Another powerful book on the subject is The Art and Science of Visualization: A Practical Guide for Self-Help, Self-Healing, and Improving Other Areas of Yourself. It also has a lot of practical techniques to help you manifest, change, and improve yourself and your life.

"Creative Visualization" seems to be a surprisingly rich and practical source of advice on taking meditation from centering to extending in positive directions.
Shakti Gawain has created a very friendly manual of finding and making your positive creative visions come true. Major and minor topics and issues to be worked-out and worked-on are covered in an artful way. This book presents a very positive and gentle source of various methods to creatively envision and support small and large "Golden Dreams" -- ones that have "Inner Gold Value".
With numerous recent "get-rich-quick" presentations, must-join insider-groups, pyramid-scams and wanna-be "Gold Gurus" -- it is all-the-more refreshing that this modest little work, "Creative Visualization", by Shakti Gawain -- allows seekers to follow their own well-and-good "Vision Quests" -- for far less "outer gold" -- but with a needed "investment" of "Inner Gold".

Easy to follow guide to visualization technique February 27, 2009

I have found my copy of the book in the library sale and it is the older edition. I found book to be very helpful in explaining how our internal beliefs can lead us to get sick or get well, attain our goals, or find spiritual fulfillment. I have never thought that one can picture or draw a "treasure map", outlining (our) internal desire on how to attain a particular goal.
I found samples of meditation techniques and afirmations very helpful. The book also helped me understand myself better. I now want to get meditation tapes mentioned in the reference part of the book and relaxation music. I intend to read additional book on the topic from Ms. Gawain herself and also other writers in the field she is recommending.
Simply the Best February 4, 2009

I first read this incredible book in the 1980s and it still remains the very finest, most practical, most kindly work on the whole subject of manifesting incredible change in our lives.
It is so understandable with such clear instructions and written with empathy, kindness and genuine caring. Each chapter links to the next smoothly and without any unnecessary "padding", waffling or repetition.
The outcomes are truly incredible - life changing, almost miraculous.
Like all truly great coaches, Gawain remains very low key, guiding the reader to create their own success without ever using the book as a vehicle to take centre stage for herself. She is like a friend who wants only the best for you and shares gifts gladly.
Gawain is admirably free of complex or obscure psychology or the worst excesses of New Age eccentricities.
Importantly, the reader does not have to use all of the techniques offered but can select the ones that are most effective for them.
If I could only have one book about creativity and manifestation this would be it.

Thoughts have form, colour, perfume and mobility. When we think a
thought we create a living entity that travels in space and through the
law of affinity or the law of attraction, resonates with similar
thoughts and then comes back to its creator.
Telepathy & Non Locality

Psychic phenomenon meet quantum physics: or something like that. It's
said that some 50,000 years ago, give or take a century or two, that
there was no spoken languages- no phononic action. Communication was
done through mental telepathy

The word "Telepathy" has been derived from the words "Tele" meaning
"Distance" and "Pathy" meaning "Feeling". So Telepathy actually means
getting feelings through a distance.
