Visualizations are a creative means for developing imagination to positively transform any situations in our lives. Their power becomes real when the idea of "creating our own realities" becomes experience rather than theory. If we believe and act on the assumption that life is positive and that the universe is a safe, supportive place to be, this assumption will become a genuine reality.

Creative visualization is one of our most important tools for achieving and maintaining good health. It is the process of forming images and thoughts in our mind, consciously or unconsciously, and then transmitting them to the body as signals or commands. Creative visualization is thus not really new or unusual; it is a process we already use continuously, every moment. The important thing is to learn to use it consciously, to create what we truly want, rather than unconsciously to create things we may not want at all. In a negative sense, we have used creative visualization to produce disease in the first place, and we can learn to use it positively to foster and maintain radiant health and vitality.
Conscious creative visualization is the practice of creating positive thoughts and images to be communicated to our bodies, instead of negative, constricting, literally "sickening" ones.

The key to using creative visualization is imagination. Imagination is usually associated with fantasy, daydreaming, "spacing out" with the impractical and ineffectual. In fact though, our imagination is a powerful tool, closely linked with our natural creativity.
Imagination is the ability to create an idea or a mental picture in your mind. In creative visualization, you use your imagination to create a clear idea of what you want. Then you focus regularly on the idea, or mental picture, giving it positive energy, until you achieve the desired effect.

For example, suppose that certain situations make you tense and nervous. Your image of yourself as a tense, nervous person will tend to perpetuate the problem.
When you learn to use creative visualization constructively, you will spend short, regular periods of meditation, imagining yourself as calm and relaxed in formerly threatening situations.
