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

From Library Journal
Gawain's self-help title has sold more than three million copies in English and another three million in the more than 30 languages into which it has been translated. According to the publisher, this revised anniversary edition contains additional "meditations, exercises, and techniques that can become part of your everyday routine." The author asserts that people can achieve an ideal existence simply through mental visualization.

From AudioFile
The mind can be extremely powerful at turning ideas into realities in the physical world. In a deep mental state, you don't need to manipulate the world or yourself, and you don't have to wait for instructions from others about what to do. Just listen to yourself and create a sensual picture of where you want your life to go. Though the program has some radical ideas, most people will connect with them right away because the author uses practical language and sounds like an ordinary person. This and plenty of helpful exercises make the program a great resource for anyone tired of struggling with life or with themselves.

A Timeless Gem
Shakti Gawain was the original bearer of the big SECRET! I loved her book when it first came out, and I still love it, often referring to it whenever I need to get back on track, be it creative endeavors or simply when things go askew in the course of everyday life. A timeless gem.

Awakening!
I was given this book about fifteen years ago. Little did I know that it would change my life. Reading Shakti Gawain's words opened something between myself and a Higher Source. Creative Visualizations is responsible for my enlightenment to come to me, which has enabled me to put my own book out, The Spoken Words of Spirit: Lessons From The Other Side. If it wasn't for my introduction to Gawain's book, and being taught how to see or communicate with Spirit, I don't think my life would have transformed to such a positive path.
