To reiterate, creative imagery is the process of consciously creating a mental
image or impression as a means of influencing the all-important subconscious
mind. This section will help you get the most out of these techniques.
Techniques for creative imagery are best used when the body is relaxed and the
mind is calm (see Section 25). They are also effective whenever you feel natu-
rally dreamy, such as first thing in the morning, last thing at night and when
daydreaming, because the mind is in a natural state of heightened awareness at
these times.
Fantasising is good for you – do it often. Fantasise about all the things you want
out of life, places to visit, people you would like to meet, acquiring new skills and
being the person you would like to be. Let your imagination run wild!
