Creative Visualization: Use the Power of Your Imagination to Create What You Want in Your Life: 30th Anniversary Edition

By Shakti Gawain
New World Library, 2008, $24.95

In 1978, 2,000 copies of Shakti Gawain’s Creative Visualization were published, using borrowed money to pay the printing costs. Nothing was spent on promotion. The book didn’t need it, says current publisher Marc Allen of New World Library; it sold itself.
Gawain’s first book helped people to change their lives by compelling them to visualize greater things for themselves. It offered hope that self-created barriers could be dissolved, allowing access to the “naturally harmonious, abundant, and loving flow of the universe.” Gawain offered explanations as to why so many people felt spiritually bereft, ultimately teaching millions to use affirmations and the assurance that no matter what we go through, “we come back into an experience of our spiritual essence, the universal energy within us all. Through this experience we can be restored to our spiritual power, and the emptiness inside us is filled up from within.”

This 30th Anniversary Edition of Creative Visualization gives a whole new generation of readers the chance to experience what remains as true today as it was then: “There is no separation between us and God; we are divine expressions of the creative principle on this level of existence. There can be no real lack or scarcity; we contain the potential for everything within us.”
