THE MAGICAL POWER OF MENTAL IMAGES - DEAN AMORY
José Ortegay Gasset was so impressed by the power of metaphors that he compared them to a tool for creation which God forgot inside of us when he created man. When I asked myself where metaphors get this tremendous power from, I realized that mankind has an even much more powerful tool at its disposition: Mental Imagery. Mental Imagery is the key to achieving our goals and the internal screen on which we project our dreams. It allows us to simulate procedures; familiarize with environments and situations before we get to know them in "real life"; It helps us to relax, but just as well will arouse us or prepare us for future actions. With the help of Mental Imagery, we can build confidence and readiness, stimulate healing and recovery, change our behaviour or literally borrow the mind of a genius. How to learn and implement this power and benefit from its many advantages, is what this book is all about.

On the other hand, successful people attract success, because they<br />
constantly imagine and expect success.<br />
Mental images are like a movie or still pictures that you see in your<br />
mind. If you watch them again and again your subconscious mind<br />
will ultimately accept them as you reality. They will affect your<br />
thinking, behaviour and world.<br />
1.2 How do I use The Power of Mental Images<br />
The power of mental images can change your life if you use it<br />
consciously, and if learn to choose your mental images and reject<br />
those that are not good for you. You can decide what mental scenes<br />
you see in your mind. You can decide what to let seep into your<br />
subconscious mind.<br />
Always be aware of your thoughts. When you catch yourself<br />
visualizing negative events, problems or difficulties, or when you<br />
tell yourself that you are helpless and weak, stop that and change the<br />
mental movie and the words you repeat in your mind. It is like<br />
ejecting a DVD from your DVD player and inserting a better and<br />
more interesting one.<br />
Visualize what you really and truly desire, and what will make you<br />
happy and satisfied. Your mind will probably interfere with fears,<br />
worries and disbelief. Your job is to educate your mind and change<br />
its habits, and you can do so if you realize the power of mental<br />
images and use it correctly.<br />
Being aware of your thoughts, replacing negative thoughts with<br />
positive thoughts, and visualizing positive mental images again and<br />
again, will eventually change the habits of your mind and your<br />
thinking. This will lead to understanding and realizing the power of<br />
mental images.<br />
