Customer Reviews:

Content was a 4 or 5 star.......2007-10-06

The case was broken in shipment because the CD had not been packed properly/at all. It was shipped in a manila envelope with no cushion or bubble wrap whatsoever.

Not the best out there........2007-09-04

This is about the 5th meditation cd I've purchased. This one was hard to follow and just wasn't as effective as others I have. If you are considering this one, I'd keep looking.

Guided meditations.......2007-03-24

I have been on my own trek of spirituality with the practice of daily meditation. Shakti Gawain's CD is fantastic for those starting out to get the feel of meditation and her calming voice helps guide your thoughts and gets you in motion to experience rest, relaxation and the law of attration. I highly recommend this CD!

Pretty good CD, but not in my opinion not everything some people say it is.......2007-03-20

I found this to be an average CD on visualization techniques. The tone is encouraging and the author's voice is relatively soothing. I have seen in some reviews that this CD has everything you need to meditate. While it is a decent introduction for some specific audiences, it only represents a small subset of techniques, traditions and methods. I know this because I have been studying meditation for years and I give meditation workshops. I also do this type of work with individuals and have a background in psychology too.

If you are looking for an encouraging introduction to visualization, which is one form of meditation, this is a pretty good place to start. It will definitely help you learn to relax and to concentrate. However, there are other CDs and meditation courses out there that are better for this purpose.

Personally, I like Shakti Gawain's book much better than this CD. However, if you are new to this area, this might be just right as a good beginning. Obviously, other people have a different opinion of me, but I pretty much review all the important things in this genre that come out and I can't say I completely share their enthusiasm.

A good beginners introduction to meditation.......2007-03-18

Shaki Gawain's Creative Visualization meditations audio gives examples of about all the types of meditations that one can find out there. There is here a good start for any beginning meditator. This audio is like a brief wind that can carry one further as one finds more and more ways to go deeper into the mystery of the self in one's own meditations. The only possible caution that can be found here is a self interest of a meditation trying to bring about a affirmation of physical manifestation of desire (with its aversion) with her bubble meditation. All and all this audio is great for beginners and everyone who may like to meditate.

My favorite on manifesting and visualization !!!.......2007-04-18

I have read a lot of books in the past year on creative visualization and manifesting your desires and books on witchcraft and magick. This is MY PERSONAL FAVORITE among all these becasue it goes beyond visualization- talks about how to put energy into the picture and how to realease it and also gives a few special techniques. AND more. There is no fluff - the book doesn't go on for chapters saying nothing as a filler, every chapter is informative and every page-just like the Sanaya Roman books !
I am going to buy more Denning Phiillips books, but they do not have that good reviews, so we'll see how those compare !

Practical Guide to Creative Visualization.......2005-09-25

Frankly, this book was purchased as a gift to a friends and was promptly forwarded on. I have yet to hear anything positive or negative from her regarding this publication.

I gave it a 5 since I have other books by the same authors and have found them informative.

Life Changing.......2005-04-21

Creative Visualization has changed my life. I used to be so negative & miserable.
Now when I have a problem - I do my visualizations & meditations.
This book & Shakti Gawain's are wonderful - my life has changed for the better!!

This is the best book on Creative Visualization I've read..........2004-02-25

This is the best book on Creative Visualization I've read, I only review books I think are 5-starworthy and this is one of them. I genuinely urge you to buy this. Shakti Gawain's is good, very good in fact, but what makes this great is that it takes a more practical instead of a cosmic foo-foo approach, and Ms. Gawain borrows from Scientology with it's being, doing, having triangle -- Denning and Phillps (or should I say, the Barcynskis', Denning and Phillips are their pen-names) take a wholly original approach to the material. And although the part about singing and chanting/mantraining about your goal may seem silly at first to the normal reader. It's very effective. And "The Star Technique" is an amazing thing... It gets you what you want or something better. But all that isn't the end-all be all of the story with this book's incredible methods. Agghhh.. Just read and apply it. Or to put it quite colloquially: Hoooowheee -- that is a spicey' meatballah!

Get this one instead of The Power of Now.......2003-08-06

The one to get. Goes nicely with Condensed Chaos by Phil Hine.

Practical Guide offers highly insightful, esoteric - but accessible - methods of visualizing your goals and making them happen.

Draws from ancient wisdom with a modern, immensely effective spin.

Amazon.com

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

Book Description

Creative Visualization has been successfully used in the fields of health, education, business, sports, and the arts for many years. Gawain explains how to use mental imagery and affirmations to produce positive changes in one’s life. The book contains meditations and exercises that are aimed at helping the practitioner channel energies in positive directions, strengthen self-esteem, improve overall health, and experience deep relaxation. This is the book that launched a movement. “Creative visualization works.” — Oprah Winfrey

Customer Reviews:

Great.......2007-09-18

This book was in great condition for being used. It was delivered in a timely manner. Thank you.

One of the orignial Visualization books...and THE best.......2007-09-02

.

Visualization is perhaps THE most powerful tool we have to create the life we want.

This book has helped countless people, including me, realize a far more fulfilling life than we thought possible before reading her works.

A very simple explanation of visualization is: See your objective in your mind; believe in your ability to achieve the objective; DO IT.

When you are watching sports on TV and an athlete pauses and sometimes closes his or her eyes before taking a shot or kicking the ball. They are visualizing how that shot will turn out, and they won't start their movement until the visualization is right. they see it, believe and then do it.

This technique works in all aspects of life.

Find Me: How Psychic Detectives from Around the World Have Banded Together to Find Missing People

Nothing new.......2007-05-09

If you have read Wayne Dyer or Deepak Chopra you will have no need for this book - its a repeat of their books and others like it.

Life changing.......2007-04-17

I read this book when it was first published thirty years ago. It is a true classic. Shakti Gawain's book has stood the test of time.

The techniques presented in this book literally opening my mind to a new way of thinking. I know that I am now living the life I dreamed about those many years ago, thanks in part to Shakti's teachings.

God willing, I still have more adventures on my life's path, and I'll continue to use Shakti's techniques, so ingrained in me now, to fulfill my vision.

Before reading "The Secret," read "Creative Visualization," along with "Ask and It Is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks. An unbeatable combination.

Enlightening........A good way to get involved within and to explore our spiritual bodies!.......2006-07-22

THIS REVIEW IS DEDICATED TO GOD,WHO IS,WAS,AND WILL BE....Nigel.

I could remember as a young kid wanting to meditate and not having a clue as to what it really is.
Looking at television and hearing people's opinions about meditation can be a bit misleading.
Firstly,what you see on television,more often than not,is just an exaggeration and can be the use of the camera,as used in movies.
Secondly,people tend to have all sorts of myths and negative views about meditation(I am talking about the word "meditation" in general).So say that it is ungodly,others say that it is just wrong,not justifying their reason for their misleading and wrongly concluded comment...
I am going to put this as bluntly as I can....Meditation means deep concentration....It is not just going on a classical "lotus position" and making Mantra sounds(ohmmmmmmm)...
As you would see in this book and become to understand...In everything we do,we meditate.
The problem is how effective we do it.
For example:you can watch a televison show and not understand the movie because(more often that not),you were not concentrating on the movie itself,but on other things,for example:what you are going to do after the movie or what is your husband doing or what is the neighbour doing...Am I right?
In a busy world as ours we need to learn to give "ourselves" time and space and alot of understanding.(by "ourselves",I mean what is spiritually inside us).
Because if what is inside us(spiritually)is not in "order",we can run into alot of mental,spiritual and physical problems.

Stress is a big problem in our daily lives and it can be unquestionably Conquered with the simple steps written in this book.
We have to also understand that undoubtedly meditation is something that happens inside ourselves and is manifested in our actions,habits,believes.

There is so much to know and alot of it is hidden within our hearts and minds.We just need to learn to unlock what needs to be free.We owe ourselves at least half an hour a day to meditate.It does more than you think.

It helps to boost your:Confidence
Self esteem
physical strenght

It reduces stress significantly and heart problems.

This is the first meditation book for me to get my hands on and it is short and conscise.It contains more information than you might think.

And,did I mention,anyone can meditate.You don't have to be strong and healthy or weak and sick,or old or young.You just need to be your self and just let nature and your heart do the rest..

While reading this book you would(I guarantee it)discover parts of "you" that you don't think exists.
There is so much I would like to say,but I guess I would just let the book do the rest.
This book contains meditation and Visualization techniques.
Each exercise is first introduced and discussed,then the reader is lead through the actual meditation.

This book is divided into sections:
1)Creating an inner sanctuary(a peaceful,nurturing place inside yourself)

2)Contacting your inner Guide(a source of intuitive,inner guidance)

3)Discovering your inner child(a rejuvenating source of joy,creativity and self healing)

4)Expressing your creativity(Remove obstacles to your creative expression and discover its limitless possibilities)

5)Balancing the male and female energies within("The union of masculing and feminine energies within the individual is the basis of all creation.Female intuition plus male action equals creativity")

.There are lots more in this book.Initially I read the older,original version.This version contains a couple more stuff.But the most important I have covered in this review...

Enjoy.............this review was written by Nigel.

Achieve Your Dreams and Birth Your Visions.......2006-02-25

"Creative visualization is the technique of using your imagination to create what you want in your life. It is your natural power of imagination, the basic creative energy of the universe, which you use constantly whether or not you are aware of it." - Shakti Gawain

A pioneer in the field of personal growth and consciousness, bestselling author Shakti Gawain has taught thousands how to use the creative force of the mind for increasing overall well-being. Employing Gawain's warm and encouraging wisdom, the Creative Visualization Deck is set of 50 cards showing individuals how to use the art of using mental imagery and affirmation to bring about positive life changes.

According to Gawain, the best affirmations are short, positive, stated in the present tense, and accompanied by feelings of excitement, joy, gratitude, and expectancy. Each of the 50 cards in the Creative Visualization Deck depicts a brief affirmation on one side, while the other further elaborates on the theme. Here are a few examples from the deck:

"I create my life anew each day."

"Remember that you are always creating your life new and fresh. You are not trying to redo or change what already exists. To do so would be to resist what is, which creates struggle and conflict. Take the attitude that you are accepting and handling whatever exists in your life while at the same time recognizing that every moment is a new opportunity to begin creating exactly what you desire and what will make you the happiest."

"I patiently trust in the power of the universe."

"The only effective way to use creative visualization is in the spirit of the Tao-going with the flow. That means that you don't have to struggle to get where you want to go. You simply put out clearly to the universe where you would like to go and then patiently and harmoniously follow the flow of the river of life until it takes you there or somewhere even better."

"I am following my intuition and my life is fulfilling."

"Notice what happens when you doubt, suppress, or act contrary to your intuitive feelings. You will observe decreased energy, powerless, or helpless feelings, and physical or emotional pain. Then notice what happens when you follow your intuitive feelings. Usually the result is increased energy and power and a sense of natural flow. When you're at one with yourself, the world feels peaceful, exciting, and magical."

The Creative Visualization Deck comes in an attractive and unique flip-top box that has a built-in prop-up frame for displaying a favorite card or a rotation of affirmations for your daily practice.

We're always creating circumstances through our thoughts, so why not create a life consciously and on purpose through the power of visualization and affirmation? If you'd like to harness the power of your imagination to develop greater awareness, balance, and wholeness, I highly recommend Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization Deck for achieving your dreams and birthing your visions.

Creative visualisation for kids by Jennifer Day - a must.......2000-01-27

This book is written to be used with children but adults love it too! The gentle but reviving imagery is carefully paced and succinctly put so that sessions can be guided properly to the level of childrens emotional and intellectual development. In other words kids don't get bored while you're reading to them. The book is full of practical exercises all very easily accessed with subjects to address particular problems for children. How about hanging up your troubles on the 'trouble tree' or discussing a difficulty you are experiencing at school with the 'professor tree'? I have so many favourites visualisations from this book and I return to read from it again and again. This is my must book for the new Millennium!

Setting the Seen- I work with terminally ill people. My goal is to allow them to embrace the final stage of their lives with courage,peace and dignity.I have used several of the creative visualization techniques in this book with great success. The visualizations were very effective in allowing my patients to heal relationships,in relaxing and in helping them to share their feelings. The feedback I received from my patients both verbally and non-verbally proved to be very successful. This book is #1 on my list for visualization techniques. Great guide to relaxation, healing relationships,and heightened creativity.
