Creative Visualization and The Law of Attraction or Thoughts are as Real as Actions and Things
Take control of your mind and you take control of your life.
How many hours have you wasted in worry? Why do people dwell on the negative? It just builds and
creates more negative energy.
Through the use of creative visualization, we can use the energy of the universe to remove barriers,
accomplish goals and to create harmony and happiness for ourselves and others.
And it all starts with you and how you see yourself and your world. My friend Anna told me, the best
attraction spell is simply to decide that you are attractive and radiate love. I tried it. (Of course I took a
shower, did my hair, dressed up and dabbed some essential oil of rose on some key places) but I
believed I was desirable and you know what, she was right. No one can resist you when you simple ARE.
So how do you BECOME? That’s easy you just decide TO BE.
Sound odd? Not really in fact modern psychology accepts and even treats the harm done by negative
thinking. If you call a girl fat over and over doesn’t it crush her self image and cause her to become fat?
If you call a boy stupid over and over doesn’t he accept the fact that he really is stupid? So why is
society so cynical when it comes to the benefits of positive thinking?
And it is so easy. Just let go of fear and worry and put your energy toward a positive outlook. Imagine
yourself in positive situations with people acting positive towards you. It is a self fulfilling prophecy.
Through conscious awareness of our thoughts we are able to focus our experiences in the desired
directions and create a positive, vibrant, radiant self/ life/ existence.
Through positive thought and creative imagery we can change reality.
Visualization is one of the most important tools someone on a spiritual path can use. Creative
visualization is the art of changing negative thinking for positive images and creating the life we want
and deserve. By thinking of the good things you want to happen as part of a regular routine, you're
creating a positive energy. This positive energy then takes on form as the actual reality you desired.
The first step on this positive path is to change the way you think of things. Instead of observing a
problem that you want changed, imagine the situation as you want it to be.
This concept is simple and anyone can do it with incredible results. Visualization is one of the most
powerful methods there is for effecting the changes you desire
So how do you do it? Well "seeing with the mind's eye" takes practice and as with all things, gets easier
with each success.
Don’t loose heart if your first attempts seem futile. At first the images might be fuzzy and indistinct.
Define your goal. What would you like to change about your life or yourself? Want to lose 10 pounds? Get
in shape? Do you want a better job? Do you want better health?
Now picture it as clearly as possible on the screen of your mind. See yourself in the reality you want.
Hold this image as clearly in your mind as you can. To reinforce the image you can also draw the scene
and tack it next to your desk so that you can look at it often and put energy into manifesting it
This is the process of sending positive energy into the universe and the more positive energy you send
out, the more you will get back. Of course, as with anything you must also do the work on the physical
plane to manifest your desires. (You won’t get your dream job if you don’t apply for the position, you
won’t get in shape unless you exercise, you won’t lose 10 pounds unless you lay off the soda and
chocolate cake…)
Lastly, BELIEVE. Know that your desires are manifesting that the object is yours or will be yours. Know
that you are now practicing the process of conscious creation through defining your desires, working to
make them a reality and allowing ourselves to accept the rewards.
Several years ago when I first began trying to hold an image in my mind I had a very difficult time. I was
having sushi with my friend Stephani and she helped me right there at the table by running me through a
few exercises.
She said, “Look at your plate. Ok, close your eyes and picture your plate in your mind’s eye. Try to recall
as many details as you can. Now bring in other senses. What did you taste? Smell? Hear?”
Through practice I have gotten much better at calling images to the blank screen in my mind.
You can practice visualizing by picturing of things you see and do in everyday life. Try to imagine
enjoyable things. (You know you are successful when you find yourself smiling at the end of the exercise)
You might picture your favorite room, or dancing with someone special, or eating your favorite meal, the
first time you kissed the one you love.
These simple exercises will help you "see" and make it easy for you to call up images in your mind when
you want to practice meditation or manifest a thought or desire into reality.
Using guided imagery for relaxation and healing
Visualization is a form of self-hypnosis. It is a tool anyone can use to help foster healing. By providing
suggestion combined with positive images, visualization can form a mind-body connection that fosters
the healing process on a physical level.
Incorporating the witchy side:
Visualization or being able to hold an image in your mind is a pillar in both meditation and spellwork.
When doing magic you visualize, energize the visualization and then send it off into the universe.
If you have problems 'seeing' things in your mind then practice simple visualization techniques.
Choose an object (something real) and focus on it until you have memorized its features. Now close your
eyes and 'see' it on the screen of your mind in as much detail as you can. Hold the image for as long as
you can without losing focus. Concentrate on shapes and colors.
As you get better, try to manipulate the object by animating it.
Now complicate the exercise and with the next object you choose let all your senses explore the object.
What kind of texture does it have? Does it have a fragrance? Can you hear it? Now you can recreate the
object completely in your mind. This is the ability to visualize.
You can also do this exercise with a memory. Try a happy experience and then recall it in as much detail
as you can using not only “sight” but what you might have smelled, heard, felt.
When you master this, have a go at it your spell again and you note the difference.
To increase the energy you are calling on, work on the day of the week, use a colored candle or dress in
clothing that is most auspicious for manifesting your intent. Visit this page to learn more about energy
and creating the right conditions to achieve your goals.
Here are a few tips from Ariana in House Magic for using positive mantras
"*Say your affirmation while looking at yourself in the mirror. This is good for invoking self-confidence,
courage, and self-love.
*Say your affirmation while holding a stone that is related to the energy you want to invoke.
*Say your affirmation while charging your candle or carving words into you candle.
*Say your affirmation while crating a pillow or pouch
*Say your affirmation while you're going to sleep
*Say your affirmation whenever you think about it"
Take this positive approach and see what shows up!
Need some instant power? Then try this energy ball exercise.
First, define your goal (See yourself gathering energy into an energy ball)
For this and any visualization exercise it is essential that you believe your goal is possible.
Now set aside about a half an hour for this exercise. You'll want to be able to sit in a quiet place where
you will not be interrupted or distracted. Make sure that you are comfortable and in a positive state of
mind.
When you're ready, sit quietly with your eyes closed and your palms face up in your lap.
Breathe and relax.
Spend a few moments working your way down from the tips of your toes to the top of your head until you
are relaxed.
Now visualize the infinite creative energy of the Universe swirling around you, like a gentle whirlpool
moving all around your body. Know that this energy is everywhere, at all times. This creative force is the
energy you are going to use to channel towards your goal.
Draw this energy into your crown chakra and send it down to the next chakra point with each slow deep
breath you draw until you’ve sent the energy though your root chakra and back into the earth.
Breathe. Imagine the energy growing to surround you in a cocoon of color as each of your chakra points
glow. Feel your aura thickening, as the energy wraps around you, mending any holes or thin places.
Now relax and breathe and as you breathe move your attention to your upturned palms
Visualize wisps of energy that materialize above your upturned palms. This energy gains form as it swirls
and beings to form a sphere.
Watch and feel the energy growing stronger. See how it vibrantly glows with radiant colors, like brilliant
gems. Like the color points of your chakra. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet swirl together,
forming a beautiful sphere of moving energy.
Imagine this energy growing stronger, more powerful and more cohesive. Feel the beautiful energy ball
pulsing just above your palms.
Know that you make use this ball of energy to manifest your desire.
Know that it will remain alive and powerful and growing, just like a plant will grow naturally whether
you're there to visualize it doing so or not. Just as the sun and earth fuel the growth of a plant, so will
the Universe fuel the growth of this ball of energy.
As you hold your ball of energy, clearly visualize your goal coming true.
Hold a mental image of success, and how you feel now that you have attained it.
Try to make this visualization as real as possible, incorporating as many senses as you can. The more
details you employ the more powerful the manifestation.
Visualize a tendril of energy moving from your ball of energy into this thoughtform.
Know that the ball of energy will never be depleted. Know that it is fueled by an infinite supply.
When you have filled your desire/spell/vision with energy draw a deep breath and move your attention
back to the energy ball pulsing above your upturned palms.
Now choose a home for your energy ball. An out of the way corner where it can grow in peace and will not
be in the way. A corner of the ceiling works nicely.
Rise and set your ball of energy in it’s out of the way place, a place it can set in peace, growing and
fueling your manifestation.
Affirm that what you desire is already in the process of manifesting.
Thank your ball of energy for bringing you what you desire. Know that it will be there working to manifest
your dream/ spell/ desire.
Then walk away with faith that your energy ball will keep growing and fueling your success.
Take control of your mind and you take control of your life.
