Complete Idiot’s Guide To Creative Visualization by Shari L. Just and Carolyn Flynn
Creative visualization is the technique of using the imagination to identify goals and then making them a reality. It’s more powerful than sheer drive because it works in harmony with the positive energy of the universe. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Creative Visualization helps readers visualize – and then actualize – their best and brightest lives. Filled with techniques and exercises that reveal the power of visualisation, it offers suggestions, guidance, and tips to inspire the imagination. It follows the path of the book that launched the creative visualisation movement nearly 30 years ago and adds elements as meditations and affirmations.

Freedom by Osho
In “Freedom”, Osho outlines three stages freedom. The first is “freedom from”, which is a freedom that comes from breaking out of what he calls the “psychological slavery” imposed by outside forces such as parents, society, or religion. The next stage is “freedom for”, a positive freedom that comes from embracing and creating something such as a fulfilling relationship. And lastly there is “just freedom”, the highest and ultimate freedom. This last freedom is more than being for or against something; it is the freedom of simply being oneself and responding truthfully to each moment.
