Lesson 12: Technique #4 Visualization/ Mental Imagery

Visualization

The subconscious mind does not know the difference between what is real and what images we put into it. This is why there is power in creative visualization. 

Visualizing what you want to accomplish is a great way to remove obstacles that stand in your way. Creative visualization techniques have been in practice for many, many years. They can be utilized to help accomplish a goal, achieve your dreams, or simply to take you away from negative thoughts that may be plaguing the mind.  

Visualization is mental imagery. It is painting the image of the outcome you are seeking or what you want for your life into your mind to draw it in. Once the subconscious mind has received the visualization enough, it goes to work to find a way to draw it in. 

Mental imagery is best done through clarity, repetition and consistency.
Create a mental image of what you want to bring into your life.
See it with detail, creating a vivid movie reel with the details.
Play this movie reel over and over in your mind daily.

The best times to visualize for reprogramming the subconscious mind is before going to sleep at night and when waking up in the morning. The subconscious mind is most open during these times. 

Again it is important to create a movie reel based on what you do want and not on what you don’t want. Also relaxing the body and calming the mind prior to visualizing is key, the results are increased when the body and mind are clear. 

When you constantly plug an image into your subconscious it does not know if it is real or fake. Therefore, it begins to go to work and creates action steps to bring the image forward into reality.  

Through visualization you reprogram your brain: Input the image of what you want to achieve in your mind’s eye, you output desired results.
