Hi Noor,
Sure would defintely contribute to this forum..just that last one week has been very hectic for me..
Dear Dr Mahanta,
You simply amaze us with your inputs..especially the input on the development of brain science from an article(2004) by Dr Irina Polland from Australia.
Thereby aptly proves that as you sow one reap...neuroplasticity is indeed a great relevation which is now proved with the aid of technology but was estimated & guessed by experts much earlier..
Mind-body connections are now proved beyond doubt..some people like Deepak Chopra have made millions by preaching this!!
As i have mentioned in Lateral thinking forum under OD forum that the Brain is very powerful tool..as proved by Nobel Prize winner Dr Roger Sperry's work on right & left brain...
Allow me to share some inputs on Brain & Visual Creativity
Visual Creativity & Brain Lateralization Bibliography

In 1836, a country doctor by the name of Marc Dax presented a paper at a medical meeting in Montpellier, France. Dax had treated many patients who suffered loss of speech after sustaining some trauma to the brain. While this observation was not new to the medical world, Dax did note in his paper that there seemed to be a correlation between the loss of speech and the side of the brain where the trauma had been inflicted. He summarized that the separate halves of the brain control different functions. While the paper did not receive much positive attention, it did predicate the rush of scientific activity dedicated to right-brain/left-brain functions in the latter half of the twentieth century (Springer & Deutsch, 1989, pp. 1-2).
Scientific evidence now confirms that the left and right hemispheres of the brain play distinct roles in thinking, perception, feeling, and memory. In the mid-twentieth century, it was understood that the left hemisphere was directly related to functions of language; while the right hemisphere played a more important role in spatial tasks and making sensory discriminations such as the recognition of faces or the detection of unfamiliar tactile patterns (Gardner, 1982, p.283). Further investigations into brain lateralization began to reveal a greater understanding of how an individual brain develops and implements visual creativity. Researchers discovered that the brains’ cerebral hemispheres dictate how an individual perceives color, pattern, perspective, shape, texture, and the relationship between light and shadow. Visual creativity, however, has not yet been conclusively localized in the brain (Gardner, 1982, p. 284).
Evidence suggests that both hemispheres contribute to visual creativity but each in its own way. For example, to draw a realistic depiction of an object, one needs the right hemisphere for contour but the left hemisphere for details. Neuroscientists have continued their research in earnest, arguing and reconciling their findings about the functions of each hemisphere and their contribution to visual creativity.

Namaskar Rajat ji.
Thanks for your appreciation and fresh input. In 1836 it was beleived that the brain acts as a whole which is known as mass action theory though Gall(phenomenologist) and Florens had theorised about localisation of functions. Perhaps for the first time Broca(1871) discovered the speech centre behind the motor cortex. Since then various functional areas are discovered but the brain acts in co ordination as a whole too. In creative visualisation we not only activate brain cells but every cell in the body. So we transform the entire system to act differently. For example, if one feels sluggush in doing a function, he will feel that his/her reaction time has become faster with the progress of creative visualization.

Namaskar Rajat ji.
I had forgot to supplement my experience of visual creativity.
It may be late 1974 or early 1975. I had to appear before a medical board as routine matter to enter into service. I was having diplopia and it could be dtetected.
I asked the specialist in the board- Is there any medicine?
He replied-You have no option but to surrender to glass.
My inner voice said-I will not surrender to glass.
By that time I had only knowledge of structure and function of eyes and pathways to occipital cortex and its role. Till date I have not read any text on visual pathology or medicine, even a page. But I have corrected my diplopia and have not surrendered to glass. I feel inflated in the conferences when I see the participants even being less than me in chronological age wearing glasses.
This partly answers to curiosity of Bala ji also.

Hi Noor and Everybody in this thread
I am an ardent fan of Citehr and have been benefited a lot after joining. Creative visualization has been my favorite topic too. I was really glad to see so many interested in this posts. While surfing net I came across this free ebook on the same topic; the book if from none other than Shakti Gawain, who has popularised this concept. This is my small contribution for a good cause. The link is as given below -

Do give me your feedback on how do you find this book.
