It’s fair to say that the canon of metaphysical books has exploded in the last decade or so. But there are gems to be found in the books that pre-date this explosion. One of them is Creative Visualization: Use the Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want in Your Life
Creative Visualization has many virtues; perhaps its greatest is its brevity. Gawain doesn’t waste the reader’s time in this book: she drills down immediately to her purpose, which is to share her collection of manifestation techniques.
Many of these techniques will be familiar to fans of metaphysical literature, including the use of affirmations, treasure maps, and various meditative practices. (In fact, its striking to see how many books that have come out since are little more than re-hashings of the material Gawain passed along to us over thirty years ago).
But just because they’re passingly familiar doesn’t mean Creative Visualization doesn’t have much to teach. There’s a tremendous amount of wisdom in these pages. Take the chapter on Going With the Flow, for example. Paradoxically, simply wanting something can interfere with our ability to manifest it. Many of us could use a periodic reminder of that simple fact! (Not to mention some guidance in how to address it.)
And Gawain’s simple, friendly writing makes these principles approachable and easy to understand. In other words, there’s a reason this classic is still in print–and deserves a reading by all metaphysical students.
