The Mind-Body Connection: Visualizing Better Health
Use the power of your mind to ease pain and stress
By Polly Campbell

Can the mind-body connection lead to mind-body health? Let’s imagine it’s early, but you’re up and energized by the sun streaming through your window. You move easily. Your joints are supple, limber. You live without pain, stress, stiffness and fatigue.

Yeah, right. For those who experience the grating, aching and stiffness of arthritis, that scenario is hard to imagine – yet your imagination just might be the thing to turn this dream into reality. Creative visualization, experts say, can influence psychological states, perception and even everyday reality, enabling you to create a life with less stress and pain, as well as bring about more of the things you do want: mind-body health, happiness and success.

Sometimes called guided imagery, creative visualization helps you to imagine circumstances in your life unfolding exactly as you want – perfectly. As the scene plays out in your mind and you feel the powerful emotions that come with those positive images, the scenario actually will begin to play out in your life, says Joe Vitale, one of the teachers featured in the best-selling self-empowerment book and DVD The Secret (Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2006).

The mind/body connection
Researchers long have believed that thoughts affect physical health. For thousands of years, medicine men, Hindu masters and other ancient civilizations worldwide have used visualization techniques to harness the power of their minds to reap physical manifestations. World-class athletes, such as Tiger Woods, and even NASA astronauts have adopted the practice to achieve peak performance.

Revised Edition of the Book Visualize and Achieve

By Remez Sasson

A revised edition of the book “Visualize and Achieve” has been uploaded today.

Here is an excerpt from the introduction:

Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the powers of the mind and the imagination to create what we want in our life. With the help of this technique we can shape our life, character and circumstances, and attract opportunities, people and the things we desire.

Creative visualization is similar to daydreaming. In both of them we create imaginary mental scenarios of events and situations, just like a movie, but with the difference that with creative visualization we implement certain rules and techniques that enable us to create these mental scenarios and events as reality in our life.

The thoughts we most often think create the circumstances and events of our life. Most people are not aware of this process and never use it consciously, but when you become familiar with the laws of creative visualization, you learn how visualize and think about what you really want, and intently attract it into your life. You become the conscious creator of your life.

This book was written in order to provide all the information, techniques and mental tools required for using creative visualization. It offers clear and easy to follow instructions and advice that everyone can understand and follow. This is a strictly practical book, designed for people who want results, and keeps the theory to the minimum required.

Books on the Law of Attraction

By Remez Sasson

New books and new articles about the law of attraction are published almost every day. They grow like mushrooms, because everyone wants to take part in this “new fashion”. This puts the readers in a difficult position, not knowing which book to read and which book or article to believe. Not all books are equal and not every book is really useful.

To write a manual or guide on any subject, one should have practical experience with the subject. It is not enough to read a few books and then to consider oneself as an expert. One, who writes a book on medicine or on engineering, has to be qualified to write on this subject. He or she have studied and gained experience, but it is different in the field of “the law of attraction”, where anyone can write a book and try to sell it.

According to the advertisements, many writers on the subject promise miracles in a short time, and with almost no effort on the part of the reader. Does the law of attraction really work in such a way? Can you really achieve great success, just visualizing a few minutes a day?

Can you say that successful people have achieved their success by just thinking a few minutes a day on what they wanted, and did nothing else? No, they didn’t just visualize 2-3 minutes a day and waited for miracles to happen. They put a lot of time and effort into achieving their success.

If you follow the rules of creative visualization, you can achieve a lot, but you will have to focus your mind on your goal, it must be very important for you, and you should be willing to do whatever is necessary, besides visualization.

Though many authors promise great success and wealth by following their techniques, not everyone becomes a millionaire, and not everyone wants to be a millionaire. Most people want just a comfortable, happy and healthy life, not unusual success, and that’s okay.

How many really and truly desire to be a tycoon, great businessmen, a president or a prime minister? Most people desire a better home, a better car and some money in the bank. Just a little knowledge about the law of attraction and about creative visualization is not going to change their preferences, desires and goals.

Few people really want all the responsibility, work and effort required to live the life of a tycoon or a businessman.

Money and possessions are important, but so also are happiness, health, inner peace and spiritual awareness.

Wishes Do Come True

When my children were young, I wanted very much to share a vacation abroad with my wife, but it seemed to be a difficult task. Who would take care of my two young children for a whole week?

We decided to visualize and affirm that we have a wonderful vacation abroad together, and that our children are happy and very well taken care of. We had a strong belief that a solution will somehow come up.

Some time later, we met a very good friend, whose kids were about the same age as ours. He said to us:

“I have a proposition for you. My place of work has offered us an attractive vacation abroad, but we have no place where we can leave our children for a week. Would you agree to take care of our children for a week, and then you could travel, and we will take care of yours?”

My wife and I didn’t even have to think for a second about this wonderful proposition, and we immediately agreed.

And so it happened that we were able to go on a lovely vacation to Europe, while our good friends were taking good care of our children.

This experience shows how visualization can produce results in a natural, yet unexpected manner. Visualization, faith and desire, work together to make dreams come true.
