subject: Understanding and Implementing Creative Visualization [print this page] There are many mental techniques that help us achieve our dreams, and become successful. We even use many of them without realizing it. This is called the concept of Creative Visualization. The concept of Creative Visualization can be understood by answering the following three questions.
1. What are the prerequisites?
2. What is Creative visualization?
3. How can you visualize?
Once these questions are answered, dreams can be achieved and you can become successful.
1. Prerequisites
Creative visualization is based on the principles of positive thinking.
Positive thinking is the one of the most important prerequisite for creative visualization.
Belief in oneself and the creative visualization process itself is essential.
2. Concept of Creative visualization
Negative thoughts produce undesirable outcomes because the subconscious mind does not differentiate between positive and negative thoughts; it acts upon thoughts and sees them through to their logical end.
Positive thoughts, on the other hand have a positive energy, this energy that has the power to convert our thoughts to reality. When the mind conceives something and believes in it, the mind can achieve it. Thoughts in our mind are energy and positively emotional thoughts, enthusiasm and belief have the power to affect our environment, our mindsets.
It is possible to use our thoughts to help you attain your goals. It is important to focus your mind on what you desire, and visualize the desired situation like it is actually happening in front of your eyes. Be aware of every detail while you are visualizing. It should almost feel like you are living the situation, emotion, life that you desire. It is the magic that everyone has within, to achieve desired results, by simply believing and visualizing the object, person or circumstance like it has already happened or is in your possession.
3. Actual Visualization
Calm your mind like you are getting ready to meditate, a quiet atmosphere around will help you focus on your thoughts. Unravel each layer of the thought right down to basic ones. Ask yourself what it is that you seek, and how and why achieving it satisfies you. Imagine the object, person, or event occur, the exact way that you want it to happen. Do not focus on how' you achieve it, but just that it has been achieved. When you actually manage to attain the art of Creative Visualization, the universal energy will take care of how' you achieve it.
Initially you may have trouble with visualizing. If other thoughts interfere, let them pass naturally and bring your attention back to your desired outcome. The technique definitely requires practice and lots of conviction, and it takes time. Initially, during the exercise you may not get exactly what you wanted. It only means you need to fine tune your thoughts and get in touch with your truest desires.
Needless to say, intending harm to another person, misusing a situation or an object only imbalances the energy and you would not want the Laws of Life to bring upon such outcomes in your own life.
