How Does Creative Visualization Work?

By Andrea D. Prescott


What Creative Visualization Is NOT! Before I reveal a couple of techniques that you can use to implement creative visualization in your everyday life allow me to first debunk a few of the common myths associated with it and then give you a bit of the history of creative visualization. First, creative visualization is not simply sitting back daydreaming and expecting money to show up in your mailbox. Secondly, it is not simply writing goals and fantasizing about them until the career you want will simply materialize. I can assure you that if you use that strategy in your career development there will eventually be an angry landlord taping an eviction notice to your door. And thirdly, creative visualization is not about imposing your mystical will upon another to receive the good you believe that you deserve. Force negates so to expect any good to come your way doing that is really futile.

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.

Imagine And Visualize The Goal.It helps to think about the goal you have. Imagine the specifications of the goal. Make notes about it. Find out more about its different aspects. Visualize it. Make pictures of it on your walls and in your mind.Make a good plan that will help you get what you want. Think of possible ways to get it. A goal needs good planning in order to achieve it.

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.

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.

The problem, I believe, is that there is a tendency to feel that there is a "proper" way to do creative visualization -as if there was some test to pass, or that it's a kind of secret known only to a cult type brotherhood. Nothing, I'm delighted to tell you, could be further from the truth!

Revisit your visualization often. That's a biggie. Repeat it. Refine it as you go. And you will reap the delicious rewards. Repetition is the secret to empowering your visualization and giving it wings.It takes a consistent effort to achieve anything worthwhile. Some goals will come faster than others. But know in your heart that this process of creative visualization will work for you One of the most important steps to effective creative visualization is to continue to hold the vision of a single objective relentlessly.Do it often and you'll make creative visualization work for you automatically
