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.

As soon as you hear the word, tick straight away the column that<br />
seems to best correspond to what comes immediately into your<br />
mind:<br />
If an image appears, if you see something in your mind, tick the<br />
column V. If you hear a sound or if you repeat the word in your<br />
mind, tick A. If you feel a physical sensation or find a taste or smell,<br />
tick G.<br />
V A G<br />

Look at the column that is ticked the most. This is your preferred<br />
sensory method. Also observe the one that you have only ticked<br />
rarely. This is without doubt the sensory method that you use the<br />
least. Obviously in the above example, the man who has ticked is a<br />
"visual" and secondary an "auditory".<br />
This knowledge of your best sensory method will help you for<br />
building your image resource.
