Visualization A Critical Positive Thinking
Exercise In The Manifestation Process.
by jkhbraveheart
The manifestation process for what we desire can be boiled
down to 4 steps, which includes the art of visualization.
Let us quickly review the steps of manifestation and then
we will be focusing on visualization as a positive thinking
exercise.
Step 1- Everything starts with a thought.
Just as we have seen earlier, our thoughts lead to our
beliefs; our beliefs dictate our actions and our actions
bring about our results. Choose the thought of what you
want to see come into your life. With thought then comes
the setting of the intention, making the commitment to
go forward, developing a burning desire, and believing
that this is possible for you.
Step 2- Once you hold the thought clearly
in your mind, you must start to make this thought virtual.
You do so by visualizing it, by affirming it, and by feeling
very grateful - as if this thing is already in your life
experience. You will then plan for this thing, person,
event or circumstance.
Step 3- You will speak the truth of the
desired thought and take inspired action to bring it about.
Step 4 - You will see the desired thought
manifested and you will be able to enjoy it.
The reason visualization is so powerful is because as
you create pictures in your mind of seeing yourself with
what it is you want, you are generating thoughts and feelings
of having it now. Visualization is simply powerfully focused
thought in pictures, and it causes equally powerful feelings.
Now you might be wondering or thinking, "Whom actually
practices this kind of positive thinking exercise?" The
answer is most people do not and they also do not get
the desired results they want in their life.
Other folks get great results and yet are unaware that
they actually do many of these steps in a subconscious
manner. They desire the best; they take inspired action
while being in flow and enjoying life, and they expect
the best. They therefore see wonderful things in their
life experience.
People who have drawn wealth into their lives used The
Secret, whether consciously or unconsciously. They think
thoughts of abundance and wealth, and they do allow any
contradictory thoughts to take root in their minds.
However, the vast majorities actually create and attract
by default. They get a little bit of what they want and
a little bit of what they do not want. They keep repeating
the same negative thoughts over and over again in their
heads, and therefore get the same results.
The manifestation process is actually practiced by individuals
who want to start consciously applying some scientifically
proven ways to achieve more of what they want to see.
Whether you choose to consciously use the manifestation
process or not, it is always in action.
Last time, we looked at how to use affirmations to help
reprogram your subconscious mind with more empowering
thoughts. Now we will examine how you can use the positive
thinking exercise of visualization along with affirmations
in order to create more magnetic thoughts.
"You are the most powerful magnet in the universe! You
contain a magnetic power within you that is more powerful
than anything in this world, and this unfathomable magnetic
power is emitted through your thoughts."
Simply put, thoughts without feelings and pictures are
just much weaker and not very effective. If you add a
picture to your thoughts, these thoughts become much more
powerful.
If you think of spirit being at one end of the spectrum
and matter at the other, than what you are doing here
is working from cause (thought) to effect ( manifested
desire), from beginning to end. Visualization is life
in the process of taking form. Everything that exists
is thought solidified.
You may want to pursue the scientific explanations of
the creative process, by reading a wonderful book, 'Your
Invisible Power' written by Genevieve Behrend.Â
You must start to see yourself as the person you want
to be, and having what it is you desire. In other words
you want to place yourself in vibrational harmony with
what you desire. Like energy attracts like energy.
We all posses more power than we recognize and much more
power than we use. Visualization is one of these powers.
So how can you visualize effectively?
When starting to visualize, past results do not predict
your future therefore, simply let them go.
You must continuously use your will to inhibit every thought
and feeling that is contrary to your desired picture.
It is important that your will be strong and not be shifting
back and forth from what is desired to what is not desired.
Yet, one of the tricks to visualizing is to do so without
anxiety or strain. Practice your visualization in a confident
and relaxed manner, while maintaining the expectation
that the desire will manifest.
Many people fall into the trap when visualizing of believing
that their results are contingent on conditions or persons.
Suffice to say that such a belief will delay your results
or create imperfect results. Do not worry about the "How",
in other words how the result will come about. Simply
focus on what you desire. Also, do not concern yourself
with what others might be thinking or visualizing.
A fun way to start your positive thinking visualization
exercise is to create a dream board of what you desire.
Take the time to cut out pictures that represent for you
the freedom, the joy, the love, and the satisfaction you
are longing for. Glue these pictures on a board and hang
this board where you can see it frequently. Or, keep a
photo album and every day look at these pictures and impress
them upon your mind.
Next, take a few minutes daily to sit quietly and run
these pictures of your desired results in your head. Add
movement to your pictures and run it like a movie. Feel
the feelings that you will enjoy when this plays out in
physical form.
Now we must get clear on one thing. Visualizing is extremely
powerful however, if you sit on a couch all day and simply
visualize that will not get you anywhere.
Visualization is to be followed up by inspired action;
doing what you believe will bring the desired result to
fruition. Inspired action is purposeful and focused. It
is not hurried, stressful or chaotic.
Now you may be asking yourself, "If visualization is such
a powerful exercise how come more people aren't practicing
it consciously?"
First of all few individuals have taken the time to inquire
about how the laws of life work. Few realize that it is
as important to visualize, as it is to clean your house,
to hold down your job and so forth.
Again, thinking, real thinking is some of the hardest
work you will ever do. Controlling your thoughts and developing
new thought patterns takes energy and effort.
We are in a society that wants the results yet it is not
always willing to do what counts. Notice here, doing what
is imperative like proper thinking requires no equipment
or particular skills. Just start implementing new thought
strategies such as visualization from where ever you are.
Quantum physics is now showing that thoughts are things
and the powers of the mind are phenomenal. The positive
thinking exercise of visualization is one way to start
using your mind power and to start seeing more of what
you want in your life. Enjoy your visualizations!
