Creative Visualization Creating and Controlling your future
Creative Visualization -The key to Re-Inventing Yourself.
Creative Visualization is a simple, deeply relaxing and
pleasurable technique used to create or re-programme habits.
Creative Visualization is a normal and natural process which
everyone uses everyday. It is simply a matter of using thoughts
and images to access the sub-conscious or the 'super-conscious'
aspect of the mind.
Creative Visualization has been successfully used to:
Accelerate learning, improve memory and motivation Increase
relaxation, reduce or eliminate stress Increase psychic sensing
Send or receive telepathically Create or change habits Build
self-esteem and self-confidence Lose weight and improve body
image Reduce or eliminate pain Heal and increase energy
Eliminate depression, anxiety and phobias Increase abundance and
joy Create or improve relationships And manifest future events
Creative Visualization has been compared to prayer, meditation,
positive thinking, hypnosis, faith healing, mind-control,
magnetism, and on it goes. It does not matter what you call it
if it works. Many theories about Creative Visualization can be
found and many explanations are given. Personally, I like things
kept simple. I want to know how to do it and I want to decide
for myself how successful it is.
I don't want a Guru or any costly or time consuming classes,
gadgets or academic tutorials. The purpose of this website is
not to explain the science or philosophy of Creative
Visualization but to give people an opportunity to learn how to
use it.
Your results are the only proof you need to experience its
effectiveness.
It is a highly pleasurable process and completely safe. You have
nothing to lose, everything to gain and at the end of the day,
your success will be your answer.
I know it works. I know that I am a happy, healthy, mentally
stable person who enjoys life, loves people and lives well. I
want you and the entire world to be able to say the same about
your time here on Earth.
If you can eliminate or at least minimise fear, worry, anger,
pain or any other harmful habit and replace it with vitality,
joy, love, fun, success and self-confidence, then call it what
you want but at least try it.
We all use Creative Visualization anyway. It's not some new toy.
It's just that we use it unconsciously and usually in a
destructive or conflicting way. By learning to use these
techniques, you are simply manipulating your thinking habits and
re-programming your mind, to consciously decide what thoughts
you choose to be controlled by, or rather, who and what you
choose to control your life.
We think that we think in words. The brain interprets words by
reading them as images. The sub-conscious or unconscious mind
records images. Within the images there is an emotional
interpretation and a behavioural response.
Thoughts create emotions, emotions create responses, and
responses reinforce thoughts.
Our belief system is created and maintained by this simple
cycle. The repetition of thought is how habits are formed.
The funny thing is, we all enter conflicting information and
create conflicting habits.
You may want to be healthy and happy, but you think about
illness and fear. You want to be successful and prosperous, but
you think about failure and debt. You love your partner, but you
mistrust him/her. You may want to succeed, but you dislike or
resent your work. You want to lose weight, but you think about
food as a reward or treat.
Well, what do you expect from your behaviour. You're wondering
why things get so crazy.
Before you start using Creative Visualization you need to be
clear about the information you want to programme, otherwise you
will have limited success.
1. Decide what you want. Get clear on all the details and write
them down.
Desire... I want to lose weight. I will lose 5kg within 5 weeks,
easily and effortlessly. I want to feel proud of myself. I want
my health, energy and enjoyment of life to increase. I want to
improve my fitness and muscle tone. I want to be complimented by
family and friends. I want to look great and dress nicely. I
will maintain my ideal weight and never have to think about
weight again.
2. Make a list of negative or opposing thoughts that you know
you have.
You will need to keep this list and add to it over the next week
or two as you discover and catch your destructive thinking
habits. I'm fat. I can't lose weight. I love food. I've always
had a weight problem, My family is fat. It's a gene/hormonal
thing I can't exercise. It's my birthday, I deserve something
special.
You will need to be 'The Thought Police' for a few weeks. Catch
yourself quickly and instantly refute the statement, or quickly
visualize a big red cross over the thought and imagine it melt
and dissolve.
3. Relax your body and mind.
Find a comfortable place and give yourself an instruction to
tune out any distractions. It's a good idea to stretch first, as
we often don't realize we have muscular tension until we stretch
and release it. Long, slow, deep breaths not only oxygenate the
mind and body, but also help bring our awareness into our body.
Being very relaxed helps to access the sub-conscious and calms
down the conscious part of the mind. In deep relaxation, your
brainwaves change to the Alpha or Theta state and this is where
you have the greatest access to the sub-conscious. The goal is
to by-pass consciously thinking about or arguing with your new
thoughts.
4. Imagine a place, situation or a person that brings a positive
emotion.
It could be something like floating on a cloud, standing under a
waterfall, sitting on a beach or even sailing on a yacht. You
could also visualize yourself speaking with God, an Angel or a
Sage. Choose an image that makes you feel safe, loved, joyful or
special. By activating a positive emotion, you will be hooking
your new behaviour into this feeling and giving it greater power.
When you are feeling really good, add the ability to dissolve
fear, insecurity, or any negative aspect you may be dealing
with. For example you may see yourself under a waterfall,
feeling joy and exhilaration. You then imagine the water washing
away your fear and dissolving it. If you initially used the
Angel you may have her giving you comfort and strength and
expressing love and compassion. You follow this up with her
dissolving or healing your insecurities, resentments and
self-doubt.
5. Imagine your main goal in as much detail as you can.
If you are working on your health you could imagine a great
healer or many healers coming in and healing you. You can
imagine toxins, diseases and viruses as little creatures or dark
spots being dissolved or blown away. You may prefer to fill your
body with white light or focus on a particular body part and
instruct it to get stronger or shrink pain until it disappears,
whatever feels effective and powerful. For example, kids like
Space Invader games to play in their bodies and will fire lasers
at little men until they are annihilated. (This is particularly
effective for cancer cells.)
You want as much detail as you can imagine, positive and with
emotion.
When you feel a healing has taken place, continue to visualize
yourself healthy and happy in all areas of your life, see your
body become pain free, flexible, vibrant, energised and strong.
Visualize yourself in your daily life moving freely and
energetically, doing the things you love to do. See your family
and friends and the life-force itself, supporting and protecting
you. See yourself as emotionally strong and grounded. Further,
imagine a protective barrier being activated so that you will
repel disease, illness and negativity.
Then let it go.
You must accept that your healing is complete. No matter what it
is that you have been working on, you need to think and act like
it has already happened. If you keep going over and over the
same thing, you will be suggesting to your mind that the problem
still exists. You will be undoing your work by reinforcing that
there is a problem.
That's how easy Creative Visualization is; you can do it right
now. You have been doing this your entire life anyway. This is
how you got to be you. This is how your personality,
relationships, health, work and your talents became set. This is
how your life got to be where it is today. Consider how much of
who you are or where you are today, is a result of incorrect
information, negative or conflicting beliefs.
Today may be the day that you start your life over, by
dismantling what you no longer wish to maintain and re- creating
what you do want. One of the most important things I have
learned is to finish every session with;
This or something better is now manifesting for the highest
possible good of all concerned. Copyright Sonya Green excerpt
