The Power of Visualization

Have your say… leave a comment below after you read!

The power of visualization is something that really must be experienced firsthand. It is all well and good to hear stories of others who have achieved remarkable results in various aspects of their lives through the use of affirmations and visualizations, but not only is seeing believing, it is your life that you want the results to show up in, not everyone else’s!

Whether you are convinced that using creative visualization can transform any aspect of your life, or you are pretty dubious but desperate enough for change to try almost anything, committing yourself to giving this powerful self-help technique a real chance (not a half-hearted once-off attempt) can allow you to see for yourself the power of visualization.

One of the keys to the power of visualization is that by focusing your attention on the way you want your life to be, you energize your desires rather than giving energy to what you don’t want. So many of us give so much thought, attention and power to the aspects of our lives that we don’t like, by dwelling on them, obsessing and worrying about them, complaining about them, and mentally living them again and again. Is it any wonder that these aspects gain such dominance and importance, and staying-power, when we make them the focus of our lives?

If you want to stop ‘feeding’ the aspects of your life that you are not happy with, and start creating new and positive alternatives in your life, try putting your energy into dwelling on, obsessing about, talking about, and mentally living again and again, these desired circumstances. The power of visualization is in the ‘living again and again’, on a mental and emotional level, the feelings and circumstances that you wish to experience on a physical and material level. By doing this repeatedly and frequently, these positive circumstances can begin to become more real in your mind than the current ‘reality’ that you wish to transform.

As your visualized reality becomes ingrained in your mind, you begin to truly believe that this new life is not only possible but inevitable. Your beliefs and positive energy attract the opportunities, people, and ideas that can make your new reality take shape.

It is exciting to see the power of visualization move through the various stages of manifestation. First your ideas, beliefs and feelings begin to shift. The changes happen on a mental level first. It is quite remarkable when you begin to notice that things which would have completely stressed you out in the past no longer have the power to affect you that much. I laugh at myself sometimes, and jokingly ask, “Hey?? Where’s my panicky feeling?” It is wonderful to see that I am able to cope with things in a vastly improved way than I was able to previously.

Once this mental shift has taken hold, in my experience, the physical and practical changes begin to be noticeable. It is important to really notice these changes, and to give them even more focus and power. This allows the positive energy to build on itself, and for the positive changes to gain momentum and bring more and more of what you want into your life.

Whether visualization is something that is part of your repertoire of self-improvement techniques, or something that you are just checking out as a possibility for making your life better, you can experience the power of visualization in any area of your life if you believe you can.

For a sample of a guided visualization I want to share a visualization I wrote for increasing fulfillment and sense of purpose. I find personally and with the people I work with, that the best results can be gained by listening to audio recordings of guided visualizations repeatedly.
