CREATIVE VISUALIZATION

What is creative visualization
Imagination is the ability to create an idea, a mental pic-
ture, or a feeling sense of something. In creative visualiza-
tion you use your imagination to create a clear image, idea,
or feeling of something you wish to manifest. Then you con-
tinue to focus on the idea, feeling, or picture regularly, giv-
ing it positive energy until it becomes objective reality . . . in
other words, until you actually achieve what you have been
imagining.
Your goal may be on any level — physical, emotional,
mental, or spiritual. You might imagine yourself with a new
home, or with a new job, or having a satisfying relationship,
or feeling calm and serene, or perhaps with an improved
memory and learning ability. Or you might picture yourself
handling a difficult situation effortlessly, or simply see
yourself as a radiant being, filled with light and love. You
can work on any level, and all will have results . . . through
experience you will find the particular images and tech-
niques that work best for you.
Let us say, for example, that you are feeling unsatisfied
in your current job situation. If you feel that the job is basi-
cally right for you but there are factors that need improve-
ment, you could begin by imagining the improvements that
you desire. If that doesn’t work, or if you feel that you would
prefer a new job, then focus on imagining yourself in the
employment situation that you desire.
Either way, the technique is basically the same. After
relaxing into a deep, quiet, meditative state of mind, imag-
ine that you are working in your ideal job situation. Imagine
yourself in the physical setting or environment that you
would like, doing work that you enjoy and find satisfying,
interacting with people in a harmonious way, receiving
appreciation and appropriate financial compensation. Add
any other details that are important for you, such as the
hours you work, the amount of autonomy and/or responsi-
bility you have, and so on. Try to get a feeling in yourself that
this is possible; experience it as if it were already happening.
In short, imagine it exactly the way you’d like it to be, as if it
were already so!
Repeat this short, simple exercise often, perhaps twice a
day, or whenever you think about it. If your desire and inten-tion

to make a change are clear, chances are good that you may find

some type of shift taking place in your work, fairly soon.
It should be noted here that this technique cannot be
used to “control” the behavior of others or cause them to do
something against their will. Its effect is to dissolve our
internal barriers to natural harmony and self-realization,
allowing everyone to manifest in his or her most positive
aspect.
