Yes, I read the book and think it is worth reading. Dr. Wenger also recorded it on CD; I got them both from the library. I think the CD helped me learn image streaming because, at first, I was able to follow along with the spoken instructions. It isn't something you force. Mostly, it's glorified daydreaming. Whatever comes, comes, and then you think about it and try to figure out what it means. The book explains that quite well.

As for general creativity drying up years ago -- com' on, Jade! Don't give up! I learned a long time ago that everybody's creative. Dishwashers have their own way of washing dishes that works best for them. Ditchdiggers dig ditches in ways that work for them. That's what creativity is: You bring your Self out in what works best for you when you do anything. If you've ever washed a dish, dug a hole, and certainly if you've drawn anything at all, you've demonstrated creativity. It doesn't go anywhere except into hiding. It's still there and you can lure it out again. If, for the time being, you have to trick yourself into remembering that, then so be it.

Image streaming isn't really trickery, though, nor is it forcing anything. It's more like watching a movie unfold, and after it's happened, you realize you created it yourself.

Try the "draw anything" technique. If you find it intimidating, start with a 3x5 card or even a tiny post-it note and gradually increase the size of the page. It really does work. As for image streaming, it's just one of many techniques in The Einstein Factor. If you think of it as a form of daydreaming, that will take away the pressure to "do it right" because there's no wrong way to daydream, is there?

Good luck!
