No matter who you are or what you are doing, you want to succeed in your particular endeavor, whether it is seeking a new job, finding a dream house, or even a dream partner.
Using your mind to visualize what you want to draw to you is a natural technique that we can all learn. Many people use it unconsciously but wonder why they don’t have “luck” in their life. This is because they focus on negativity rather than positive trains of thought.
Thinking “I’ll never get a job that earns x amount, or I can’t afford to live in a neighborhood like that” are all affirmations that come true.
Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to help you to “see” what you want and thereby assist it in coming true by attracting the success that you want. Visualizing your goals as already accomplished “tricks” the mind into thinking that it has already happened. The mind cannot distinguish between reality and fiction and envisioning that you have what you want and need draws the energy of the mental picture to you.
Successful Visualization
If you truly want to achieve and be successful, set aside a time and place for your daily meditation session.
Decide what it is that you want to draw to you, and enter into meditation using one of the previously taught breathing and meditation techniques in this blog.
- With the eyes gently closed and the breath and body relaxed, creating a mental image of what you want.
- For example, if you want to see yourself in a new house, try not to struggle with adding details that are too specific such as colors, types of moldings, styles of doors and windows. Instead know how many rooms you want, bathrooms, size of house, whether it has a garden, etc.
- See yourself unlocking the front door and entering the house. Walk through each of the rooms, spend time there.
- Every time you enter your visualization meditation, see the same image and it quickly becomes clearer and more real.
If you are unsure about what you want, practice the following visualization to familiarize the mind with the technique. This Universal Visualization helps you to start the day right.
Enter into meditation with a calm breath and mind.
- See yourself smiling and at ease.
- In your mind’s eye, follow yourself as you do each of your normal morning tasks. Feel yourself enjoying each moment.
- Embrace the day and see yourself being happy to greet everyone that you meet.
Enter into meditation with a calm breath and mind.
- See yourself smiling and at ease.
- Know what job you want to do. Envisage yourself doing the job
- See how successful and relaxed you are.
- Hear the praise that you receive for a job well done.
- See your environment and feel how happy people are to work with you.
- Everyone that you interact with is happy to see you.
Identify the steps required to achieve your visualization. In the example of acquiring a house, identify all that you need to do in order to attract the house.
Creative visualization uses the power of the mind and can improve your life.
Writing down your goals helps you to work progressively toward the direction that you want to proceed in. This helps you to take control of your life and avoid or overcome obstacles that appear.
Do something everyday that helps you move closer to achieving your dream.
Expend your full effort to achieving your dreams.
See yourself successful every day. Notice your positive traits and believe that you are worth receiving what you want.
Gratitude
As you work toward achieving your goal, help as many people as you can along the way. Demonstrate gratitude through prayers, through acts of kindness, and by monitoring your thoughts and subsequent actions to ensure that you are truly thoughtful with every word and action.
GrazieNo matter how you say it, giving thanks and showing your gratitude is a positive emotion that unlocks the fullness of your energy.
Merci
Thank You
As opportunities open themselves up to you, you will be able to recognize them and act upon them. You have the power to influence your thoughts.
Meditation helps you to be mindful and remain in the present, thereby helping you to fulfill your dreams.
