Defining Visualization and How It Helps You Grow

Did you know that there are numerous tools you can utilize to assist you in living the life you dream of? If you are willing to be open-minded regarding these techniques you can learn how to make significant changes in the way in which you view your future and attain your goals.

Oftentimes people will make use of visualization in order to feel either inspired or motivated. Visualization involves more than merely thinking of what you want. Instead it is a very effective tool that harnesses the power of the subconscious mind to aid you in achieving your biggest dreams.

Our minds possess an incredible ability, that of creating our reality. Visualization is the way in which you can create the reality that you aspire for. Like everything else our thoughts are comprised of energy and it is that very energy that sends vibrations out into the universe.

When these vibrations are sent out they attract similar energetic vibes in return, drawing them toward us. Therefore the more positive energy you put out the more you will receive back.

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not there is a law at work in everyone's life and it is called the universal law of attraction.

When you comprehend the way it works you can then opt to work with them and thereby manifest awesome changes in your world.

If you want to try effective visualization then the following steps will help:

1. Choose a quiet environment that is free from any distractions.

2. With your eyes closed, breathe deeply and slowly through your nose to a count of five. Exhale through your mouth again to the count of five. When you inhale your diaphragm should expand and when you breathe out it should flatten.

Repeat this inhalation and exhalation 3 - 5 times so that your heart rate slows and your mind becomes calm.

3. Now form a mental image of what you want. Concentrate on the details. Take note of the colors, the textures, sounds, and smells in your vision. See yourself actually touching the items in your vision and tasting the very air.

Let it be like a movie in your mind with you as the leading star as well as the director.
See yourself as already either doing or having the thing that you want to manifest.
See yourself reaching your goals with ease.

4. Ideally you practice your visualization at least twice a day. For visualization to really work you need to be committed to the habit and use it daily.

* Whenever negative thoughts arise during the day stop them and replace them with your vision and the positive thoughts that are associated with it.

Make sure that you complete each step of the process and allow yourself to experience the emotions that are part of reaching your goals. When you encounter feelings of doubt or questioning avoid them and see the outcome as if it has already transpired.

Take it slow and don't hurry your visualization. You need the time to fully experience the vision and this generally works out to about 10 minutes or so.

When it comes to defining what you desire this can be a very useful tool. Of course you need to understand that you might not get the answers that you are looking for in the way that you expect to get them. Stay open to different ways in which your desires can manifest themselves.

If you are desiring finances for instance do not simply expect to win the lottery or to get a check in the mail. You might find that you will be offered a new job, a promotion, or indeed some other means of earning the extra finances you want.

Sometimes the desires you have will be answered quickly and some might take time. It is important that you stay open-minded because it is then that you are more inclined to see the chances that will arise to cause your visions to come to fruition.

Through visualization you can achieve peace of mind, serenity, and contentment. If you use the techniques we have described you will find that you can reach your goals, achieve your desires, and enjoy the rewards!
