Creative Visualization
September 12th, 2006Creative visualization is one of the greatest powers we all possess to help turn our goals into reality with very little effort. The technique involves simply choosing what you want in life and then using the power of your imagination to create it. If you can see a picture of what you want in your mind’s eye, by holding this image as often as possible, in time, you will see the thing imagined appear in your life. You can use this technique to create anything you desire.
The key to achieving the best and fastest results with creative visualization is to believe in the process. By holding the image in your conscious mind this will create an impression in your subconscious mind which in turn will turn the image into your reality. It is important to understand this seemingly magical power can only be used to create things in your own life, your visualizations have no power over anybody else.
When most people first learn about the power of creative visualization they think it seems like a magic trick and the truth is, it is magic. It is the magic power of your mind combined with the magic power of the universe. The What is Energy article on this website explains in more detail how energy works and when you understand that everything is energy it is easier to understand the process of creative visualization.
The entire universe and everything in it is made up of pure energy. Everything we can see in a physical form like a tree, a rock, a car, a person through to the things we can’t see like sound or emotions are all forms of energy vibrating at different rates. The things we see physically are forms of energy that are vibrating very slowly but the things we cannot see but know that exist are forms of energy vibrating too fast for the human eye to see but they most definitely do exist.
The image or visualization in your head is a thought, and a thought is a form of energy. Whether you are aware of it or not, your thoughts are being sent out into the universe, gathering energy and coming back to you. Your habitual thinking creates what you see as reality. This is why it is important to keep your thoughts positive as what you send out comes back to you multiplied. If you radiate thoughts of limitation and not having enough, this is what the universe will send you because, through your own thinking, you asked for it. If you think only positive thoughts of happiness and abundance, this is what the universe will return to you multiplied. Hence the saying “what you give is what you get”. This is true in every way. If you are filled with thoughts of love, the feeling of love will be sent back to you. If thoughts of fear contain you, then fearful is how you will feel. It is that simple and it’s up to you to choose how you want to feel.
Everything starts as an idea. Leonardo Da Vinci was a great example of this and was an avid user of the creative visualization technique , he would regularly formulate new and incredible ideas in his head and from those images he would often draw pictures and from the pictures he would build his idea into the physical form. Just like an architect starts with an idea for a house, then he puts the design down on paper and then builders work from that plan to build the house. So what happens is, in every case of manifested reality, the physical form follows the mental form. Or in other words, first comes the thought, then, in time, the physical form appears.
The Secret to Successful Creative Visualization
The power behind the successful use of creative visualization lies in your beliefs. If you believe in something it will manifest. Due to the universal law of attraction, what you regularly think about will be attracted to you. Like is attracted to like in all circumstances. If you think about illness, you will be ill. If you are currently in poor health but begin to keep the idea of good health in your mind as often as possible and can refrain from thinking about your illness, your health will most definitely improve. By keeping the image of good health in your mind, this is what will be attracted into your experience, it sounds easy and it is.
Another very important tip when using creative visualization is to surround your thoughts with as much emotion as possible. Emotions act as a cosmic glue in attracting that which you are imagining in your mind. So if you are visualizing more wealth being attracted into your life, imagine what sensations you would feel if you already had greater wealth. Calm your mind and think deeply about this, get into the feeling position of what it would be like when you have what you can see in your minds eye. If for example you want a new car, look at the car, run your hand along the smooth paintwork, imagine how the car sounds when you are sitting in the drivers seat and lightly pressing the accelerator, feel the steering wheel in your hands, imagine a friend sitting in the passenger seat as you are driving and commenting to you how comfortable the ride is and what a beautiful car you have, imagine the wind blowing you in the face when you are cruising along with the window down on a warm day. There is no limit to how much emotion you can put into your creative visualizations but the more emotion and feelings accompany your thoughts the quicker your desired results will materialize. When you first start to see your thoughts manifest into your reality it truly feels like magic and when you have proven to yourself that you are the magician you can begin to use this miracle working power in your life to achieve anything you desire.
The best way to get results using creative visualization is to let go and trust the power of your mind. Relax and take a few deep breaths before beginning your creative visualization exercises. Never try to force anything into happening. By that I mean, know what it is you want and in a calm and relaxed manner, see what it is you want to manifest in you life and hold that thought in your mind with as much emotion as possible. If you try to force any of your ideas into reality what you are doing in effect is letting your fears take control and it is the fear you will manifest. Fearful thoughts lead to more fear entering your life. If you fear not having enough money, you will attract exactly that which fear into your life. So release your fears and let your mind and the universe do all the hard work by attracting only that which is in your mind, thoughts of abundance, happiness and peace. The most important thing to remember is, what you think about is what you’ll get, it’s as simple as that.
Creative Visualization and Affirmations
The power of affirmations (repeating a positive statement to yourself, either in your mind or out loud) used with creative visualization cannot be overstated. In fact the two go hand in hand. Repeating an affirmation while visualizing your desired goal adds to the total energy you are sending out to the universe and in turn multiplies the amount of energy that is returned to you and effectively cuts down the time it takes for your goal to manifest in your life. Expanding on the previous example of manifesting a new car: while visualizing yourself driving your new car and really feeling all the wonderful feelings associated with this, keep repeating a positive affirmation to yourself, “I love driving my new car” or “I now have the car I’ve always wanted.” You need to find the right words for you and repeat them when you visualize, to enhance your feelings and help you achieve your goal. Using an affirmation while visualizing has the added benefit of keeping your mind on what you are visualizing and keeps your mind from wandering. Keep the affirmation short and simple and with creative visualization you have the power to transform your life.
