Creative Visualization Techniques - You Can Make Things Happen

By Anthony N. Fields


Ever think about why people tell you that if you can think of it, you can make it? It is actually true. Have you ever wondered about people who post pictures of their dream houses, describe their future partners, think of themselves as power executives someday? They have that gift of creative visualization - the method of figuring out what you want; making it come true, not only by doing things to have it but also, making pictures of it by thinking of it and posting images of it on walls.

Clear your mind. That's step number one to creative visualization. Most of us have so many thoughts going on in our heads that it's impossible to focus intently. To succeed in any endeavor, you need to be able to focus your mind. Without focus, you cannot perform at your best or properly utilize the valuable technique of creative visualization.

Here comes the good part. Right now I want you to grab a pen and paper. Identify one area in your life that you want to improve significantly. Take the time to write out specifically what you want to achieve and have in that area of your life. Describe it vividly and with clarity. Read the vivid description of your desired results a few times. Now find somewhere to get really comfortable. A good recliner or couch would work perfectly. Close your outer eyes and tilt your head slightly upward about 20 degrees.

Enter the theatre of your mind and look upon the stage of your imagination. Begin to see yourself living the desired result and then step into your vision as if you are literally there. Engage as many of the senses as possible. If it's a new car you want imagine how you would look in it. How does the new leather smell? Feel the notches on the steering wheel. Do this for a few minutes, especially before you go to sleep at night. Once you get in the routine of doing this consistently you will begin to ACT in alignment with your vision and the manifestation will happen. That's the secret sauce folks, the part that many of the motivational snake-oil salesmen leave out.

Rewrite and refine. Once you've got it down, it's time to shape your description into something closer to exactly what it is you want. This creative visualization technique is like taking a rough idea of what you want to say in a letter-to-the-editor and then converting it into a polished piece that's ready to mail. Refine your goal into a powerful paragraph that describes exactly what it is you want.

Are you still a skeptic on that? Below are several visualization tips that you need to know in order to make your goal happen.Of course, you first need to have a specific goal in mind. It needs to be something that you can think of - something possible. For instance, you can think of a dream house you've always wanted to build ever since you were a child.

Make a concrete visualization of that dream house in your mind. If possible, think of it regularly. You can make designs or picture drawings of that goal in mind. You can cut out pictures of it and place them someplace where you can see it each day - on your bedroom wall, on your refrigerator door, in your wallet.

You couldn't even make a cup of coffee without imagining the steps involved in heating the water, adding the coffee grounds to the cup and so on. Not only that, but you wouldn't want the coffee in the first place unless you could imagine the taste and the feeling that seems, in that very moment, would be satisfied only by a cup of coffee! If thirst was the only problem, a glass of water would do much better!
