Visioning: Ten Steps to Designing the
Life of Your Dreams by Lucia
Capacchione
Wonderful Tool For Accessing Our Inner Visions
A truly visionary book based on the popular workshops of a highly
acclaimed art therapist, designer, and pioneer in personal growth through
creativity.
In Visioning, Lucia Capacchione, the author of such self-help classics as
Recovery of Your Inner Child and The Power of Your Other Hand, shows
us that we can transform our lives in the same way that a designer
transforms raw materials to meet his or her vision. Drawing on her
experiences as a designer and corporate consultant, Capacchione uses
the artistic principles she acquired from mentors Charles Eames and Walt
Disney to teach readers how to apply a blueprint to their individual lives
that will help them to realize personal goals and dreams. Complete with

easy-to-follow and playful hands-on art activities and techniques, Visioning
sparks the designer within and makes real the notion that if you can dream
it, you can do it.
Personal Review: Visioning: Ten Steps to Designing the Life of
Your Dreams by Lucia Capacchione
There is a line in the Bible that says something to the effect of, "Where
there is no vision, the people perish..." I'm sorry to say that I do not have a
reference for this quote and one day, I will find it and update this review to
support it, but the bottom line is that when we don't have a vision for our
life, something within us dies. And that's exactly how it is. When we forget
our hopes, our dreams, and our wishes and just give into the everyday
world, we are forgetting who and what we are and what we are here to be,
do, and have.
Maybe I am just being naive here, but I really think and feel that everyone
of us that are living here today are entitled to live great and empowered
lives. Henry David Thoreau once stated that most of us live lives of quiet
desperation...why? Why do we fall prey to desperation? I believe it is
because most of us do not have a vision for our lives. I believe it's because
most of us are operating on unconscious beliefs that limit us, that keep us
down, that keep us thinking and feeling and acting in ways that are limiting
and small.
For a moment, let us just think and feel what the world would be like if
every one of us on this earth had a magnificent vision for their lives; if
everyone of us followed the dictates of our heart and soul; if everyone of
us were filled to overflowing with Love, Compassion, Peace, and
Acceptance. This world would be entirely different than it is now. There
wouldn't be greed or hunger or lonliness. Poverty, saddness, and
unfulfillment would be things of the past. Everyone would be helping
everyone to better their lives. Nobody would be competing with one
another because competition would be done away with; being creative
would be the order of the day. Being and feeling prosperous would be part
of the "New World Order" and there definitely would be a New World if
everyone had a vision of brilliance and magnificence.
Ghandi said, "Be the change you would like to see in the world." How do
you become "the change". You become the change by opening your mind,
your heart, and your soul to a greater vision. You allow yourself to sit still,
to become centered, to breathe deeply in...and to breathe deeply out...you
clear away any doubt, any fear, any uncertainty and you OPEN
YOURSELF to LIFE, to LIGHT, to LOVE and you let the wisdom that is
within you and around you now freely, and easily, and gracefully pour forth
and then you ask with humility, with childlike wonder and excitement,
"What is my vision?" And you let the Divine Wisdom that is Present present
you with a vision.

Yeah, it may be sketchy at first, but just keep opening yourself to
Spirit...just keep asking the question, "What is my vision?" And I promise
you, it will be given to you. Then, allow yourself to leaf through magazines
and periodicals and newspapers and with childlike glee and joy, cut out
words, phrases, and pictures that match your inner vision. In other words,
bring life to your vision NOW.
Do not be swayed into thinking that it's silly or stupid or foolish. We tend to
see in pictures, anyway, so you have to choose what pictures you desire to
follow. Do you want to follow the old images that lead to poverty, despair,
and saddness or do you want to follow a new vision that promises you
abundance, fulfillment, and success?
I firmly believe that what we truly desire ALSO desires us; that the things
we want to express, extend, and experience want us to express, extend,
and experience them. Let us believe in our visions, in our dreams, and our
desires. Let us support one another in becoming all we can become. Let
us honor the divine in everyone and everything.
This is a great book and what is even greater is that on some level you
already know this is true. Consider this your lucky day, your "sign" to a
greater life.
May you be the person that Spirit already envisions you as!
Peace and Blessings...
