Most of the authors I work with experience two types of phenomena during the writing process.
First, they experience real life examples of what they are actually writing about.
Secondly, the information they need for their book gets presented to them as if by magic.
<p>Of course, a perfectly good explanation for this is that your brain is a [...]]]></description>

		<itunes:summary>(http://www.thebookwright.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/visualisations.png)We spend virtually all of our days not giving a second thought to something which is vitally important ... and that&#039;s our thoughts.
This is a great shame as just thinking about them and choosing the right ones can have a dramatic affect on our day and our well being.
You are probably not aware that you generally only have one thought at a time and if you think about something else, the thought you were thinking gets replaced by the new thought.
If you have ever tried meditating and can&#039;t get your mind to go quiet, then you can use this  aspect of our neurology to get your mind to stop thinking.
What is somewhat ironic perhaps is that when you are in a deep meditative state, the Quantum Collapse of Thought itself collapses ...
If you want to experience this then have a listen to the visualisation below ...
... and if you want to find out how to use this phenomenon and more in your creative writing, you have a few options.

		<itunes:summary>This visualisation started life as one of the components of the Unleash the Book Inside workshop and home study course.
In the workshops, I found that the students started to get huge flashes of inspiration when I combined Mind Mapping with simple simple contemplative and meditative techniques.

This version of the visualisation is more generic such that you can use it on any Mind Map whether hand drawn or computer generated. Note though, if you do use software Mind Mapping, it&#039;s a good idea to use a print out first.  This visualisation takes a Mind Map and embeds it into your cellular neurology such that two things start to happen.

(http://www.thebookwright.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/embeddingmindmaps_picture_421.png)

Firstly, you commit it to memory much better.

Secondly that you become better at noticing coincidences and serendipities associated with elements on the map. For example, if your map contains your goals and ambitions for the year, you start to become luckier. If you are writing a book, you come across information and ideas that help you in ways that seem uncanny.

I do this before I do a talk. Firstly, I Mind Map the talk some days before and I seal it in my neurology at the time. Then just before I go into the event, I repeat the visualisation - works every time.

This visualisation is part of the MP3 Guided Visualisation Pack (http://www.thebookwright.com/home-study/visualisations/)</itunes:summary>
