Q. Have you ever heard of Maxwell Maltz and "positive imaging?" Years ago, I thought imaging (visualization) and meditation were the same thing. I can't find Maltz on YouTube talking about it even once! Anyway, I've found imaging to be a very powerful way of improving ones self-sharpening, concentration, confidence, inner strength and generally giving the individual a lust for life that they didn't have before. Proponents of mainstream visualization feel it is like positive thinking where you tell yourself that tomorrow you will wake up feeling great. Maxwell's take is that you focus on improving the self through visualization, and all else will then fall into place. What do you see when you look into Maxwell Maltz and positive imaging? For one thing, I think it's a great alternative for depression instead of drugs.

A. I get that Maxwell is very profound, and helping one look internally to improve the self, will ultimately improve their environment and experience. This way of thinking feels to take the Law of Attraction, and make it on a more intimate level. When you improve the way you view yourself, and your self-image improves, your vibration increases. As you increase your vibration through imagery, confidence and interpretations of your reality, you will draw more positivity upon yourself.
There most definitely is a time and place for everything, but utilizing positive imaging to improve your outlook, mood and emotional well-being does feel to be effective. Like most things, you do need to work on it. One session alone will not last long-term, but a daily or scheduled dedicated practice can most definitely have long lasting benefits.
I feel a lot of positive energy and high vibrations when I think of this technique. I get that Maxwell was very on point, and this method of imagery can be very beneficial if put into practice.
And that is all I have for this reading. Thank you. Love, light and health- Lynn

It's great to hear that people today are rediscovering Maxwell maltz and Psycho-cybernetics which was quite popular even back in the '60s & '70s. Maltz was a plastic surgeon who was concerned that many of his patients who went to him over insecurities about their looks kept those same insecurities even after the perceived appearance flaw had been surgically corrected. Almost everyone has something about themselves physically they'd like to change, but accepting yourself internally first is the key to everything.
@Robert: I had the same feelings when I did this reading. That is why I was compelled to look him up and share some of his work. I do believe people can benefit from this.
Cool! Lynn, may I ask: which methods are most beneficial for replacing negative/limiting beliefs with empowering ones? For example, NLP, simple affirmations or visualisations, EFTs, etc.? Thank you- Mandy
@fallinginlike: These are all powerful, and I think it is what resonnates with the individual person. NLP feels to work best if someone is coaching/guiding you as it really requires you to change your personal belief system and what you tell yourself, affirmations are great if a personal is self-motivated and really sticks with them, EFT/tapping can also be effective if the person does it frequently. Meditation can also be powerful if moving negativity is needed to make space for higher thought. :-)
Thanks for making this video about my Maxwell Maltz question. Although Maltz also talked about affirmations etc. "The magic power of self image psychology" book gave several relaxing and problem situation examples to use in the theater of the mind as he called it. Eyes open or closed imaging is to be done 30min to an hour a day. Seeing yourself as you want to be or an improved version of ourselves that is the best we can be is the task. Maltz says 3 weeks to notice a change taking place. In my experience, at the 6th week, much bigger changes such as consistently clearer images and a feeling of powerful optimism. If confidence is the goal, it's from introvert to extrovert, the rear view mirror to the spot light. According to the book, anything you can see clearly, and long enough, can happen. As with all other good things, it can get very tricky and difficult. Many rules that aren't in the book need to be strictly followed. Sleep is most important and it helps that imaging is done in the morning. I can't remember what book I read this in but it was said that a guy used imaging to re-grow the hair on his head! Look at a wall or close your eyes near a lamp with a good picture of yourself to refer to.
Thank you for this, Seahorse. I appreciate you sharing!
