Visualization is the act of making mental images. In the book Creative Visualization, author Shakti Gawain said that it is not necessary to see a mental image even an idea or just thinking about it will do.

When I was in grade school, I had this huge crush on one of the boys in my class. I used to sleep very late at night because I spend my time imagining what it will be like spending my time with him. I would close my eyes and “watch a movie” in my mind about us.

I am pretty sure you can relate to the experience. You may have daydreamed about a vacation in the Bahamas, or see the end-result of something you are designing, or you may have also imagined something terrible borne out of fear.

We employ our abilities to visualize every time we imagine or think of something. We just didn’t know that by visualizing we can attract the very same experience into our material plane. Our visualization becomes creative when we purposely use it to create an experience we want into our reality.

How it Works

Most if not all new age experts agree that everything in this universe is made up of energy. Humans, animals or inanimate objects are vibrating energy at the core. The differences in appearance, size and shape, as well as the perceived boundary of objects are due to the differences in the speed & frequency of vibration. This makes us one in essence with everything around us.

Gawain attributed the creative power of visualization to the magnetic characteristics of the thought energy. However, some other experts in the field attributed the attraction of things into our reality to the magnetic characteristics of thoughts through the subconscious mind.

Claude M. Bristol said in The Magic of Believing that

perhaps the most effective method of bringing the subconscious into practical action is through the process of making mental pictures –using the imagination–perfecting an image of the thing or situation as you would have it exists in physical form.

I consider the subconscious mind as the gateway to our connection with the universe or God. Whatever it considered to be true is “beamed” out and caused the expansion & attraction of the same energy (the law of attraction). Events will eventually lead to the realization of the things or experiences visualized.

Just a tip, do not visualize or think of the event as if it is still going to happen in the future. See it as if it is really happening at that very moment. Pretend that you are already holding the object or feeling the emotions & sensations of the experience you want to materialize.

Lilian Too in Inner Feng Shui explained further how to make visualization more successful

The key to success in visualization is the ability to focus thoughts. The picture in your mind must be sharp & clear. The goal or situation as you want it to be must not be hazy & uncertain. There must be intensity of belief, relaxed concentration, & quite determination. The mental image must not be diluted by doubt or ambivalence. Your attitude must be positive and confident.
