Healing Healing in groups is a wonderful experience. See the section on healing meditations. One of the most valuable ways we can use creative visualization is in improving our relationships. Because human beings are so sensitive to each other on so many levels, we are especially susceptible and receptive to the thought forms that we hold about each other. It is these thought forms and the underlying attitudes that they reflect which form our relationships, and cause them to work or not work. In a relationship, as in everything else, we get exactly what we believe in, expect, and “ask for” on our deepest levels. The people we are in relationships with are always a mirror, reflecting our own beliefs, and simultaneously we are mirrors, reflecting their beliefs. A relationship with another human being is one of the most powerful tools for growth that we have; if we look honestly at our relationships we can see so much about how we have created them. Creative Visualization in Relationships Take an attitude of total responsibility about your relationship. Assume for a moment that you alone are responsible for creating it the way it is, no matter how much it may look to you like the other person is responsible for certain things. If there are certain things about the relationship that are unsatisfying to you, ask yourself why and how you have created it that way. Keep in mind, however, that taking responsibility for your life does not mean that you are to blame for the problems in your life or relationship.* See if you can discover what core beliefs you have that cause you to create a less than satisfying, happy, loving relationship. *For clarification about the difference between responsibility and self-blame, read my book, The Path of Transformation.
