A guide to recovering and improving the powers of imagination and using them for positive change 

Explores visualization techniques being used today in fields as diverse as medicine, sports, psychology, and the creative arts. 

Explains the principles behind these techniques for realizing your life goals 

All the great cultures and traditions of the world have recognized that human beings can transform the circumstances and conditions of their lives by visualizing powerful images. After centuries dominated by objective science that has given the material world precedence over the spiritual, many of us have forgotten how to use this innate ability. Now researchers are rediscovering the effects of visualization on one's emotions, mental state, physical body, behavior, and even on the future. 

Creative Visualization is a guide to recovering and improving your powers of imagination and using them for positive change in your life. By means of deep relaxation and visualization techniques, Ronald Shone shows you how to succeed in business, excel in sports, improve your memory, achieve goals, raise energy levels, overcome shyness, relieve pain, and improve your health. 

With today's resurgent interest in expanded states of consciousness, creative visualization is being used in fields as diverse as medicine, sports, psychology, and the creative arts. Use this book to understand the principles behind this process and how it can help you realize your life goals. 

In order to solve problems, humans are able to synthesize apparently unrelated concepts, take advantage of serendipitous opportunities, hypothesize, invent, and engage in other similarly abstract and creative activities, primarily through the use of their visual systems. In Scenario Visualization, Robert Arp offers an evolutionary account of the unique human ability to solve nonroutine vision-related problems. He argues that by the close of the Pleistocene epoch, humans evolved a conscious creative problem-solving capacity, which he terms scenario visualization, that enabled them to outlive other hominid species and populate the planet. Arp shows that the evidence for scenario visualization--by which images are selected, integrated, and then transformed and projected into visual scenarios--can be found in the kinds of complex tools our hominid ancestors invented in order to survive in the ever-changing environments of the Pleistocene world. Arp also argues that this conscious capacity shares an analogous affinity with neurobiological processes of selectivity and integration in the visual system, and that similar processes can be found in the activities of organisms in general. The evolution of these processes, he writes, helps account for the modern-day conscious ability of humans to use visual information to solve nonroutine problems creatively in their environments. Arp's account of scenario visualization and its emergence in evolutionary history suggests an answer to two basic questions asked by philosophers and biologists concerning human nature: why we are unique; and how we got that way.Robert Arp is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the National Center for Biomedical Ontology.
