definition
image: Close your eyes. Breathe in and out three times. Quietly, allow yourself to enter the pleasant, gentle state of mind that you know as your imagination and just rest there for a moment. After you have rested and relaxed for a brief time, let yourself create in your mind's eye a clear, sharp, focused visual image of a large perfectly reflective wall. A wall of mirrored light, perfect in every particular and beautiful. Allow an image of yourself to appear upon this wall, just as you would be if your physical body image were at one with your desires for yourself. Gaze long and hard at this pleasing image and realize that indeed this is you and you can if you so intend bring this image off this particular wall and wear it naturally and constantly, in the everyday world, for all to see and be pleased with, as well as yourself. Feel yourself move quickly forward into the wall and blend perfectly with the image there and then step back out into the world looking exactly as you had envisioned. Feel in your body, each and every transformation within your physical self as they take place and enjoy the feeling of how it is to have changed. Spend all the time you need, to get used to the feeling of wearing this new physical you. Then allow your eyes to slowly open once again. (Chavez)
