About Transformative Imagery: Cultivating The Imagination
Product Description Guided imagery is a transformative practice for reducing stress, healing mind and body, and improving performance. This definitive collection brings together leading pioneers in the field of guided imagery to share its theory, practice and history. Readers are introduced to the extensive uses of imagery, from its medical application for pain relief, cancer care and other physical healing, through its significant contribution to mental health and depth psychology, to its application within the arts and as a vehicle for social change. An exploration of the place of imagery within spiritual and religious traditions includes a never before published guide to the internal alchemy of Daoist imagery. Transformative Imagery will enable professionals to tailor guided imagery to their individual practice, demonstrating how to use it with people of all ages, from chronic pain patients to athletes to combat veterans and for both mental and physical health. Review We humans are endowed with an incredible capacity for health, healing, balance, and transformation: the gift of mental imagery. It is not possible for us to live without imagery; only computers and robots can do that. Transformative Imagery is accessible to both professionals and laypersons. It reveals how this universal ability can be enlisted in increasing anyone's level of joy, meaning, and fulfillment. -- Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters It's often assumed that imagination is a fantasy flight away from reality. But paradoxically, Transformative Imagery is just the opposite. The practice ushers us into deep inner spaciousness where we experience the immediacy of the Present, bringing into focus the Real which dwells within. It is a guide in how to see beyond our limiting, preconceived notions and connect with the Mystery that infuses our daily life. -- Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, author of What the Mystics Know: Seven Pathways to Your Deeper Self Transformative Imagery provides a template for significant change on both personal and professional levels. Imagery is a valuable gateway for inner-outer alignment, resulting in greater fulfillment while leading to peak performance whether in organizational leadership, business, healing, the arts or sports. The contributions from experts in a range of fields are insightful and eminently practical, providing both theory and practice. It is a highly recommended read for anyone ready to embark and succeed with transformational change. -- Behnam Tabrizi, Ph.D., bestselling author of The Inside Out Effect, and consulting professor at Stanford University’s Department of Management Sciences and Engineering Leslie Davenport's Transformative Imagery is essential reading for serious students of the imaginal world. The heart of healing is imaginal. The soul of being is imaginal. Love, wisdom and will are sourced in the fountain of the imaginal. Some make do with superficial practices not grounded in the infinite richness of the imaginal. Superficial practices are a disservice to clinician and patient alike. Read this book. You will benefit. So will all those whose lives you touch. -- Michael Lerner, Ph.D., president and co-founder, Commonweal At the heart of dance is the transformation of images into a physical language - bodies that express poetry through movement. Dancers expand possibility by moving inward, as a dancer's process arises from the inside first before it is outwardly expressed. The insightful compilation Transformative Imagery by Leslie Davenport, is the truth of how we create our life's dance in a similar way, expanding our own individual human potential from the inside out. It embodies the past while pointing to the future, making the present vibrant and full of possibilities. -- Ann Marie DeAngelo, artistic director, DeAngelo Productions, and former ballerina and associate director, Joffrey Ballet There are many f
