CREATIVE VISUALIZATION and DEVELOPING INTUITION: Practical Guidance for Daily Life by Shakti Gawain

For those who have sought personal growth and transformation, Shakti Gawain is one of the most famous and beloved of teachers. In these two books, she encourages us to reach to that mysterious part of us that opens up vast doors of possibility for our lives.

Creative Visualization is a classic in the field, and deservedly so: Gawain has a wonderful methodology for teaching you how to touch deeply your imagination and desires, and bring them forward into the world in joyous, physical form. You'll start with elementary ideas, such as "How to Visualize," "Affirmations," and "Creative Visualization Only Works for the Good." Once these techniques are mastered, then there's more information on your guides, your higher self, and a host of other ways of manifesting the life you want.

As one reviewer on Amazon.com so wisely noted, this is not a book for those whose greed is at the forefront! Deciding to visualize a whole lot of money with the idea it will make your life easier is likely to backfire. Besides, prosperity is not only money - it's love, health, and a life filled with happiness and peace. Learn to visualize such things first, says Gawain - learn to visualize your best and most bright self - and the abundance will follow.

Developing Intuition explains what those odd hunches are that we all sometimes get: why some of us somehow always know who's calling when the phone rings . . . why we get the urge to check on someone out of the blue, only to find they're ill, or have been in an accident. Gawain teaches the difference between intuitive feelings and emotions, how to interpret messages, how our body keys us to intuition, and more. Intuition is truly something we all have, but we've been trained to ignore it, explain it away, laugh it off. And when we do so, we lose a very precious part of our inner Knowing - the kind of Knowing that can help us stay on the best path for the life we really want to lead.

It doesn't take much intuition to know that you'll enjoy these books immensely. Happy reading!
