I was recently asked if I would be interested in reviewing "Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery" by author Leslie Davenport. My dear friend Julie, now deceased, was a certified hypnotherapist and one of her specialties included helping people transform their lives with the power of imagery. I credit Julie with piquing my initial interest in this subject and so, of course, I agreed to review this title.
The premise of "Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery" is this: learning how to tap into your own heart's wisdom using guided imagery. Why would you be interested in doing this one might ask. Well, the reasons are many. For starters, creative visualization is an ancient practice that has been used throughout the centuries for medicinal and healing purposes. Today this practice is beginning to see more widespread use as an adjunct to conventional medical therapies for health issues ranging from cancer and heart disease to post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction. It can also be used to transform moments of pain, emotional turmoil, and interpersonal conflict into opportunities for growth and self-realization. People can also use guided imagery to help set them on their own personal life path. Do you really think that people like Alexander the Great, Orville and Wilbur Wright, or sadly even Hitler got where they did through simple happenstance? I highly doubt it. Personally, I think they visualized what they wanted to accomplish and then...they made it happen. I wonder what self-guided imagery could do for you...
So, after reading "Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery," I am happy to report that it is a very well-written book. Davenport writes in a concise and descriptive yet easy to follow and easy to understand manner. "Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery" has an impeccable format which will also enable its readers to easily access all the tips, tools, and helpful information that is provided within its pages. "Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery" also includes a self-facilitation worksheet with step-by-step instructions for undirected, unscripted guided imagery.
In closing, a five-star read that provides a wealth of informative, insightful and useful information. Furthermore, I would say that with this book, Davenport has raised the bar that future authors in this field will need to aspire to reach.
