and can be very powerful.^1
I recommend speaking the text of the meditation
on a tape and listening to it later.
“Imagine yourself in some everyday situation, and
picture someone... you know looking at you with
great love and admiration and telling you one of
your positive qualities or capacities they really like
about you. Now picture a few more people coming
up and agreeing that you are a very wonderful
person. (If this embarrasses you, stick with it.
Remember that it is in your imagination.) Imagine
more and more people arriving and gazing at you
with tremendous love and respect in their eyes.
Picture yourself in a parade or on a stage, with
throngs of cheering, applauding people, all loving
and appreciating you. Hear their applause ringing in
your ears. Stand up and take a bow, and thank them
for their support and appreciation.”Powerful Tools for Healing and Growth — The Growth Matrix 157
