Excerpts from my book, Visualizations:

The power to change our lives lies within our minds.  When you can create a picture in your mind, it carries amazing potential.  Set the path in your mind and watch how your mind follows it.

People have understood the value of visualizations for years.  Certainly you have heard advice such as “Visualize yourself giving a speech… and notice how calm and articulate you are.” Or  “Visualize your opponent - or the one that intimidates you -putting their pants on… one leg at a time.”   Those worked in a fashion.  But there were only so many times you could visualize the pants until your mind said, “so big deal, they put on pants like everyone else… the individual is still intimidating.”
