Glouberman, Dina (1989) Life Choices and Life Changes through Imagework, The art of developing personal vision. London: Aquarian/Thorsons
Dina Gloubermans book is designed as an informative book to teach the methods and process of imagery. Imagery is used to implement changes into our lives towards a reality which mirrors our own personal vision, as well as controlling unconscious parts of our bodies like the immune system. The book uses a mixture of metaphors and personal stories which reflect the process the book tries to teach. The author suggests that imagery can be used to generate a self power over personal situations such as health, which is supported by the evidence collected from The Spontaneous Remission study.
‘’I like most other people I know, used to spend much of my life running like a rat on an exercise wheel in a cage, trying to keep up with the inner and outer expectations that dominated my life. Every now and then I would kick the exercise wheel, or rattle the bars of my cage, but this merely delayed me: I would eventually go back to the wheel and run even faster to make up for lost time. Evan my most creative desires were transformed into expectations that ended by oppressing me. When I found out how powerful images could be, I used every technique of imagery and visualisation I could find or makeup. It was my line of communication and my most important tool. It helped me improve my relationships, become and stay healthy and work more efficiently..’’
