You don’t have to be a metaphysical student or spiritual seeker to benefit from creative visualization. However, it’s important to suspend judgments and give yourself permission to believe the guiding principles laid out in this book are possible.
All is Energy
It is important to understand that matter exists only as energy. Humans are energy. All is energy.
Energy vibrates at varying rates of speed, from fine to dense. Energy attracts energy of a comparable kind and/or vibration. Thought energy is fine and attracts like energy.
All creative visualization work begins with what is called a thought form. Thoughts go ahead of manifestation. For example, a seamstress has a pattern, then creates a dress. In the same manner, you will use creative visualization to create a thought form (mind picture) of whatever you desire to manifest on the physical plane.
Thought energy is your pattern. Power it up and send it out into the universe. It will magnetize itself and attract like energy and ultimately manifest the physical form of it, into your everyday

Use the words divine love, Christ within, God. Spirit, Wisdom and so on, to ensure your affirmations are most powerful.
Part three, “Meditations and Affirmations”, involves serious work. Shakti provides a relaxing and self-healing meditation in the section, “Opening the Energy Centers”.
Create an inner-sanctuary, a safe space within, to practice creative visualization and more. In “Meeting your Guide”, Shakti offers a guided meditation, where you will invite your inner-guide into your sanctuary. Shakti also explains detailed “Ways to Use Affirmations”.
Shakti puts the cherry on top in part four with “Special Techniques”. For instance, keep a “Creative Visualization Notebook” to hold your written goals and affirmations, note your progress and successes. You will also learn correct goal setting and how to write correct affirmations.
Part five of Creative Visualization wraps-up the book in the manner we would expect esoteric books to end – with a bright, new beginning. Once you have mastered the techniques and affirmations, you may manifest what you want at

    When someone views a piece of art, they'll likely have some preconceived reservations about it and its content. If any other person comes along and looks upon the art, their interpretations will almost assuredly be different, if only slightly. The world that you perceive yourself living in is one that is exclusive to you. It's a world full of components that you interpret in one way or another and the collective of those interpretations isn't shared completely with anyone else. For this reason, careful and thoughtful consideration of our surrounding world is increasingly important.…

The colors within the painting to the left makes Circe seem broody, but in the painting to the right the lighter colors make her seem joyful and loving. The colors within the painting to the left are much darker.…

    Human beings always have had an innate ability to imagine and create that what lies beyond just a primal, basic understanding of the world around them. It is this nature that overflows with ingenuity and vision that begs to be conveyed through something that has existed since the dawn of humanity. Artistic expression is an undeniable epicenter of the human identity. The arts are such a rooted part of the human identity that every society, culture, civilization, and group emulates some form of it, from pottery in Ancient Egypt to Shakespearean plays in 18th Century England. With this in mind, philosophers have attempted to answer throughout history the burning questions pertaining to this need and appreciation for the arts, to explain what stimulates…

    According to the Dalai Lama (2001), mindfulness can enhance presence in four ways. First, it can heighten the sustainability of focused attention. Second, mindfulness practice can enhance self-compassion which should lead to greater empathy and compassion with clients. The compassion and acceptance developed in mindfulness practice is viewed as ultimately valuable as the basis of compassion and acceptance toward others (Dalai Lama, 2001). Third, mindfulness can offer a way to reduce stress and enhance well-being and care for one’s own self.…
