A new deck of self-help cards is bringing a fresh wave of attention to visualization, the act of closing your eyes and imagining scenarios for healing and personal growth. The deck, Creative Visualization , is from visualization visionary Shakti Gawain, whose best-selling book of the same name brought the practice of using imagery to the fore. That original book began with an invitation: “Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request and every thing your heart truly desires must come to you.” Gawain promoted the idea that we manifest our own destiny, that thoughts have power, and that we have more control than we realize.
