Getting the most from creative imagery

life-transforming techniques which change your self-image permanently.

First I dream my painting. Then I paint my dream. - Vincent Van Gogh

Creative imagery is the process of consciously creating a mental image or impression as a means of influencing the all-important subconscious mind.

Techniques for creative imagery are best used when the body is relaxed and the mind is calm. They are also effective whenever you feel naturally dreamy, such as first thing in the morning, last thing at night and when daydreaming, because the mind is in a natural state of heightened awareness at these times.

Fantasising is good for you – do it often. Fantasise about all the things you want out of life, places to visit, people you would like to meet, acquiring new skills and being the person you would like to be. Let your imagination run wild!
