For some fresh new ideas about my favorite topic, take a look at “WHAT IS POWER?” at http://www.powerimagery.com, the home of the 3-step 21-day program that Dr. Gerald Epstein and I have created to provide a roadmap for people who want to make their day-to-day lives more powerful. We also have a monthly e-newsletter and if you would like to receive it, please send your name and email address to me at elizabeth@drelizabethbarrett.com.

If power is about anything, it is about change. Considering the definition of power as the capacity to participate KNOWINGY in change, you can see that so many of the actions we take in our daily lives involve how we participate in making those changes. When our participation is done KNOWINGLY, that is—with awareness, then our actions are powerful.

Often questions arise as to what mental imagery is and what it is not. So, the latest blog at http://www.powerimagery.com/blog clarifies some common misconceptions and tells you the differences between mental imagery, hypnosis, meditation, daydreaming and fantasy. What’s more, you will discover why mental imagery is such a powerful tool for you to use when you want to create a change in your life. Check out what we have to say on this blog: then, if you wish, write a comment. We’d love to hear from you.

The answer, of course, is NO!  However, all power is about change.  All change is about power.  Why?  Since power is the capacity to knowingly participate in change, there is no power without change and no change without power.  However, the key to this is the fact that power requires participating KNOWINGLY in change.  Actually, we are always participating in change, but only when we participate in a knowing way is it power!  At least, that is the view of the

Power-Imagery Partners wrote a blog a while ago about the power of the number 28.  Now we want to tell you about the power of the number 21.  Why is that relevant to the Power-Imagery Process (PIP) that Dr.

On July 28^th I wrote to you announcing the launch of the new website www.PowerImagery.com that Dr. Jerry Epstein and I created.

However, we are excited that the Power-Imagery-Process (PIP) is now an online experience.

For several years my colleague and long time friend, Dr. Gerald Epstein, and I have been collaborating on creating what we named the Power-Imagery Process (PIP).

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  Not the many distractions of Christmas, although that is a wonderful day as well.  But I especially like Thanksgiving as a reminder to spend the day (with family, if possible) recalling to mind all the wonderful blessings that we have to be thankful for.  We each have our very special blessings that mean so much to us and to take time out, as a national holiday, is one of the many gifts we have.  This Thanksgiving as I prepared my turkey dinner with the stuffing and all the trimmings, I was especially remembering spending the holiday

 We live in two worlds—the day world and the night world, and we experience both in many ways.  Down through the ages, the perennial philosophers describe these two contrasting worlds in a variety of ways.  Ori Soltes, Professor at Georgetown University, in his book, Mysticism in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam describes our ordinary world as the profanus or profane – the day world.  He contrasts this world with the world of the sacer—the sacred—the night world.  I don’t know if Steve Jobs had this in mind with the design of the Glass Cube Apple Store on F

Since this is the International Year of the Nurse and Nurses Day during Nurses Week was May 12^th, I thought it would be just the right time to start some dialogue on this blog.  First, I want to congratulate nurses wherever they may be, and I am including myself as I am celebrating my 40^th year as an RN this year.  Second, in my opinion and I know I am not alone, I truly believe that not only are nurses the backbone of health care, but that the reform of this nation’s health care system depends on expanding the contributions of professional nurses.
