Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery Book Review and Giveaway

I will read just about anything, books, magazines, newspapers, articles on the Internet, etc, but most of all I enjoy books with practical information about improving my health and personal growth. So when healthy-holistic-living asked me to review Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery, I jumped at the chance. I am intrigued about the ancient practice of healing our bodies through self-guided imagery, whether it is a physical or emotional condition, interpersonal conflicts, or simply to help with stressful situations. I am looking forward to gaining insight into how to heal my body through imagery, to help find what is beneath the subconscious that unknowingly could be damaging my health.

What's the Product?


Healing and Transformation Through Self-Guided Imagery, by Leslie Davenport

First Impressions

Healing Transformation The book cover is attractive and inviting, so far so good….The book starts out with a beautiful chapter on seeing with the eyes of the heart, it includes open imagery exercises and easy, detailed self-facilitation worksheets to help guide you through your own process, as well as several case studies that illustrate and support the progress of several individuals. I am not one for case studies, I find them a bit boring and unnecessary so I am not looking forward to reading to that part of the book although I am intrigued by the rest. I am also finding that the book font is rather small and hard on the eyes I would have preferred a larger font.

I am familiar with positive visualization and affirmations and have used both mostly to help me deal with the stress of a high pressure job and improve my performance at work (before I retired) so it is nothing new to me, in fact, for years athletes have used similar techniques to improve their performance, but I found that the material in this book goes far beyond that. Based on what I initially perceived, this book will be an excellent resource to gain insight into my mind's subconscious and inner works. It will hopefully provide the tools to help me stay connected to myself during difficult situations. In the Foreword, William B. Steward, MD, states that this is "an accessible guide to harnessing the power of our intuition and imagination". In the Preface, the author says, "this book is a guide to listening to our own heart," that sounds beautiful and inspiring to me.

In addition to the book, you can go to the author's website where you can find additional information about the author, her book, videos, and additional resources.

How I used it

I love to read at night before I go to sleep, so I took the book with me right away and placed it on the nightstand next to my bed. I began reading it the first night. I found it to be an easy read and the guided imagery techniques simple to follow. I realized as I was reading it that self-guided imagery can be used to enhance any type of self-improvement as well as help us deal with stress, pain, conflict and any health crisis one may be facing. By gaining inner wisdom, one can transform difficult problems into an opportunity for personal growth.

Pretty soon I decided that I didn't want to wait until bedtime for the next chapter, so I quickly changed the schedule and carried the book around with me so I could read every moment I had free….in fact, I also read it in the car when my husband was driving…..I just couldn't put it down. I am fascinated about the idea of cultivating "the eyes of the heart." I realize now that the concept of visualization and imagery I have used in the past, while helpful for the moment was rather mechanical and scripted, and that it didn't come from the heart.

I like the fact that there are many ways to use the book, you can "jump ahead" based on your personal need at the moment and you can blend imagery with other methods. This is indeed a personal journey. I love this line in chapter one: "Deep in every heart lives a wellspring of wisdom." In fact, just reading chapter one had me hooked. And yes, I am enjoying reading the case studies after all, and the eye-opening imagery exercises that accompany them. They help us to get insight into the stories we tell ourselves about difficult situations in our lives as well as trust our inner wisdom.

The book offers invaluable and powerful tools for personal growth. Working with them should be an ongoing journey, a process that reminds us to trust and love ourselves and the world around us. This is a book that should be read often to ensure that we don't slide back into our old ways.

Beautifully written!

How does Mother Earth feel about this product?

Mother Nature is overflowing and overwhelmed with pollution. It is sad, that our waste will continue to saturate the earth. I wish somehow this book had been printed on recycled paper.

Is it a Healthy Product?

Trusting ourselves and our heart's inner wisdom, learning techniques for personal growth, what could be healthier than that?

How does this product impact my wallet?

The price of the book, considering its valuable content, is a bargain! And you can buy it through Amazon at a discount, or even used for less.

Would I recommend this product to a friend?

I will recommend this book to my friends and family... Self-guided imagery is a process that helps focus our attention toward our hidden self so we can be receptive to the perceptions, pictures, and dreams arising from our true nature.

Bottom Line:
