Visualization literally means to visualize – imagine; conceive of; see in one’s mind; is the act of making mental images.
Creative (Creativity) is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. Creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.
Creative visualization is probably one of the most misunderstood aspects of the Laws of Attraction. Almost every law of attraction book says to visualize exactly what you desire and it will manifest. That’s true, but there’s a bit more to it than just seeing a picture in your mind.
Many tend to equate creative visualization with daydreaming, which most of us do on a regular basis. The real difference is that a daydream comes from wishing and hoping and creative visualization comes from a place of clear inner focus and intent.
You should be confident, happy and believe everything you visualize will manifest with out a doubt. Any uncertainty or ambivalence will keep you from attracting what you’re visualizing.
Tips on Using Visualization
Be consistent. Like everything else about implementing the laws of attraction into your life, you need to do this consistently. Try to make time in your daily routine. You’ll need at least 20-25 minutes a day to get full benefit from the visualization.
About five minutes before I start my visualization I set my intention, I say that I expect this time to be productive, quiet, and uninterrupted. Then I turn off the phone, lock my doors, and find my comfortable spot. For me this a comfy chair in my living room where I can put my feet up and relax.
Before you start any visualization, make sure you’re happy. Do not begin if you are not in a good place. You will not get any benefit from the exercise and there is a possibility that you can tap into the negative consciousness, something you want to avoid at all costs.
The real keys to manifesting your desires are focus and the ability to make the connection with your inner Self. The images you see in your mind must be
well defined and specific. Now it may take some practice for before you can see things clearly but it will happen if you keep at it.
Once you’re all set, happy, and comfy, close your eyes, and start with some deep breathing. As you take a breath in say to yourself, “I breathe in positive energy,” and as you breathe out say, “I breathe out negative energy.”
Don’t rush the process. Just breathe for a little while. Listen to your breath and clear your mind. The only ting you should be thinking is I breathe in positive energy, I breathe out negative energy. You’ll soon find yourself relaxing and feeing more comfortable. Don’t fight the feelings just go ahead and surrender to them.
As you do, you should begin to feel a sensation come over your body. Like you have butterflies in your stomach. That fluttery feeling you get when you’re really exited about something. Once this happens you can begin the process of visualizing.
I call this the “butterfly effect” because when you experience this feeling you are connecting with your inner Self and this is when things really begin to happen. One little thought ripples out into the universe and starts a glorious chain reaction.
Because of this, be sure to visualize things as you expect them to be not as they are. See the images as though they are occurring now. Feel the feelings as though whatever you are thinking is happening now. I always end up with such a big smile on my face that my jaws are tired when I finish my visualization. This is how you want to feel as though it really is happening NOW.
It Works Because Mass and Energy are Interchangeable
Albert Einstein’s E=mc2 is the basis for understanding how visualization works. Einstein realized that matter and energy are just different forms of the same thing. They’re interchangeable at the molecular level. Matter can be transformed into energy, and energy into matter.
In addition, quantum theorists have run multiple experiments that prove that when one observes an electron and there is a preconceived idea where it might go, they found that the electron went where it was expected to go. Meaning that somehow it was influenced by thought.
And perhaps it’s not a coincidence that everything in the universe is made up of energy. Planets, flowers, chairs, buildings, animals, every conceivable object, including humans are all energy.
All this combined with Einstein’s theory has huge implications. If at the molecular level, matter and energy are interchangeable and thought can be used to influence it then it’s not such a leap to theorize that we create the world around us at the subatomic level based on our thoughts, expectations, and beliefs.
Therefore, by using creative visualization techniques to tap into our inner Self and the energy of universal consciousness we can use the law of attraction to manifest anything we can visualize.
By practicing creative visualization consistently, you can literally change the direction of your life. You can manifest anything you can visualize, success, health, prosperity, better relationships and in the process you will learn more about yourself.
Once you learn to connect with your inner Self (I call mine Joy) it’s not at all unusual to discover that what you thought you wanted really isn’t at all what you want. Joy (your inner Self) is your connection to the universal consciousness or as most refer to it God.
And you may well find that you have a very different path ahead. But should this happen to you, don’t worry it will be the greatest discovery you’ve ever made in your life. So start visualizing your way to a better life.
