What is Creative Visualization?

Published by Chris | Filed under Creative Visualization | June 30th, 2007

Creative visualization is a technique we use everyday to imagine what we want in your without even realizing it. There is nothing new, strange, or unusual about creative visualization. It is your natural power of imagination, the basic creative energy of the universe which you use constantly, whether you realize it or not.

In the past, many of us have used our power of creative visualization in a relatively unconscious way. Because of our own deep-seated negative concepts about life, we have automatically and unconsciously expected and imagined lack, limitation, difficulties, and problems to be our lot in life. To one degree or another that is what we have created for ourselves.

Learning to use your natural creative imagination in a more conscious way, as a way to create what you truly want, be-it love fulfillment, life enjoyment, satisfying relationships, rewarding work, self-expression, health, prosperity, inner peace, and harmony. Whatever you heart desires. The use of creative visualization gives us a key way to tap into the natural goodness and bounty of life.

Imagination vs. Creative Visualization

Imagination is the ability to create an idea or mental picture in your mind, but in creative visualization you use you imagination to create a clear image of something you wish to manifest in your life. Then you continue to focus on the idea or picture regularly, giving it positive energy until you actually achieve what you have been visualizing.

Your goal may be on any level – let your creative visualization go wild, physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. You might imagine yourself with a new home, or a new job, or having a beautiful relationship, or just feeling calm and serene. You can work on any level, and all will have results. With constant creative visualization you will find the particular image and techniques which work best for you.

Let us say, for example, that you have difficulty concentrating at work and you would like to be more focus and alert on the job. After relaxing into a deep, quiet, meditative state of mind, you mentally imagine yourself being focus and enjoying your job. Try to get a feeling in yourself that you’re going to succeed and overcome this state. Repeat this short, simple exercise often, perhaps two or three times a day or whenever you think about it. If you are sincere in you desire and intention, and truly open to succeed, you will soon find that the relationship is becoming easier to communicate with. Eventually you will find that the problem will resolve itself completely, in one way or another.

I should note that this technique cannot be used to control the behavior or other or cause them to do something against their will. Its effect is to dissolve our internal barriers to natural harmony and self-realization.

To use creative visualization it is not necessary to believe in any metaphysical or spiritual ideas, though you must be willing to entertain certain concepts as being possible. You be contradicting yourself if you don’t believe that the concept can work. It is not necessary to have faith in any power outside yourself. The only thing necessary is that you have the desire to enrich your knowledge and experience, and an open enough mind to try something new in a positive spirit. Once you do so, it may seem that you are working miracles in your life
