Namaste Truth Students. Rev. Drea here and I will be your TA for today’s Lab class. Thank you for bringing your frequency and vibration to CREATIVE VISUALIZATION 101. Today we are going to discuss how to use CREATIVE VISUALIZATION to activate one of the most powerful tools in your manifestation arsenal…. your imagination. As your teaching assistant, I am here to support you in your unfolding awareness of the power of your imagination.
So let’s dive right in with a few reminders about our spiritual and natural laws.
First Spiritual Law– there is only one presence, one power, one Divine Creative Energy source of the Universe and it is called by many names, Divine mind, Universal intelligence, Divine Energy, Spirit, God. And everything including each and every one of us comes forth from that Divine creative energy.
Second Spiritual Law – we are made in the image and according to the likeness of this Divine Creative Energy, which means we are energy and have the ability to be creative as well.
“The Law of the conservation of Energy” – which states Energy can neither be created or destroyed, but it can change forms.
One of the tools we have to help us change or transmute the form of energy, to bring forth the invisible into the visible, to manifest our goals and dreams, to call forth that which we desire is our imagination. It is a powerful manifesting tool. And
CREATIVE VISUALIZATION is one way of using your imagination to help manifest the you desire for your life. This technique has been around for a long time and there is evidence-based research that it, time and time again. For example, there have been experiments with athletes running a race. And the have diodes and nodes and so forth hooked up to them to measure their brain and muscle activity. Then, they had those same athletes go into a meditative state and visualize themselves running their race, and the same brain activity and muscle fibers were fired up as if they were actually competing. That is how powerful the imagination is. Creation happens twice. First in the mind through thought, which is then followed by creation in the physical world.
Psychiatrist, Dr. Abigail Brenner says:
There are three requirements for CREATIVE VISUALIZATION to be fully effective
- The desire to create what you have decided to visualize,
- The belief in what you have chosen to attain through your visualization and the certainty that you will attain it, and
- The acceptance of having whatever you have visualized as your goal.
These three things are crucial. And they all come down to the same thing. Do you believe that you can have, do, or experience what you are claiming? If not, why? Is there a fear of failure or success, is there a feeling of unworthiness, is there someone else’s belief about you that you have accepted as your own. If so, then CREATIVE VISUALIZATION and any other technique will only take you so far.
You must come to the divine revelation, spiritual understanding and/or conscious awareness that you, as a unique and individualized expression of Spirit are worthy of every Divine Idea that is revealed to you and through you. And once you do that, once you internalize the truth of who you are. Then, you can use CREATIVE VISUALIZATION and any other technique to activate your imagination, to manifest that which is for your highest and best good. Everyone has the ability to use CREATIVE VISUALIZATION as a tool to help achieve their desired goals
Here are a few steps that I am giving you as homework to help you get started:
Become Still
Use meditation, prayer or a breathing exercise. To free yourself from distracting thoughts and emotions. This will make your visualization more meaningful and intense.
Engage Your Imagination
Once you have become still and start to feel yourself relax. Start visualizing in your mind’s eye exactly what you desire in vivid detail. Imagine not only what it looks like, but what it smells like, what it sounds like, how it feels and even how it tastes, depending on what you are visualizing. For example, if you are wanting to take a vacation to a beach. Smell the sea air, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Imagine yourself digging your toes into the sand. Are you swinging on a hammock? Are you with friends, a loved one or by yourself? Get creative and be as detailed as possible
Hold Fast to the Feeling
Creating the detailed vision is the first part, but the magic happens in harnessing the emotions, and the feelings that you generated from your detailed picture. For it is the emotion and feeling behind the CREATIVE VISUALIZATION that will be the momentum builder to help bring your vision to reality. Hold fast to the excitement, the happiness, relaxation, peace, joy, love and bliss from your visualization and continually affirm your belief that you already are that thing you are wanting to attract.
Repetition
Make CREATIVE VISUALIZATION a daily practice until it becomes a habit.You must be consistent in focusing on that which you desire. Put an affirmation about you goal on your bathroom mirror, your computer, your phone, near the coffee maker at the door when you are leaving the house, in your rear-view mirror. Take time out in your day to affirm, reaffirm, and triple re affirm what it is you desire. It should be the thing that is in the forefront of you mind. Why? Because there will be distractions, challenges, set-backs, detours. And you must have cemented that laser focus to persevere through the noise. Distractions of everyday life.
You must be committed to achieving your goals. There is no one else that can achieve your goals for you. There is no one to blame and no excuses that will be satisfactory. I can find a million plus stories of people that should not have done, had or experienced the amazing life they had due to circumstances that were no fault of their own. But the reason they have such amazing lives is because they took responsibility and became the expert in their own lives. They became the pro. No one is saying that you have to be a superstar or famous or rich to be successful. You just have to find your purpose and with dogged determination live it.
Do you know the difference between an amateur and a pro? An amateur practices until they get it right. A professional practices until they Can’t Get It Wrong. That is the type of focus you have to have. And if it is truly what you desire, and you believe in it with all your heart, mind, body and soul then it won’t be hard work. Your faith will be activated, and it will be compelling work. It will be what feeds your momentum. So, be the professional for whatever it is you desire. If it is to be the best best-friend then be it. If it is to be the number one harmonica player, then do it. If it is to mindfully experience in each end every present and perfect moment, then go ahead and experience it.
We will end todays CREATIVE VISUALIZATION Lab class with a poem that ends with an affirmation.
It was the favorite poem of one of the most gifted creative visualizers of our time. Nelson Mandela drew strength from this poem every day of his incarceration as he visualized his freedom and the freedom of an entire nation.
Today’s Affirmation is:
“I AM the Master of My Fate, I AM the Captain of My Soul.”
