Visualization is a technique of using your imagination to create what you want in your life. It can help us bring more peace to our daily lives. It can be practiced anywhere and any place. With a sincere desire for improvement you can create change that works so easily you will almost think it is magic!

Choose a quiet environment. 

Do your visualization exercises in a quiet place. This allows you to focus on the problem that needs to change.  Every time you are interrupted, it takes longer to get back into the full visualization. Don’t give up!

Write one sentence that describes the outcome you want.

Post this statement somewhere that is easily visible. Perhaps on or near your desk. Keep it in a place where you can see it daily. Perhaps in more than one location. Repeat this sentence out loud several times a day. This will keep your desire in your immediate focus.

Think about what steps you will need to take to finalize what you would like to change in your life. This takes practice. The more you think about making changes become reality.

The only thing necessary to make this work is that you have the desire to enrich your knowledge and experience, and open your mind to try something new in a positive spirit.

When we want any kind of change it must be for the good of everyone concerned. We always create it in thought form. Change has to start in a way that we know we are uncomfortable with the current situation. Many times people can’t easily find their way out. But finding that quiet place to concentrate or meditate on the problem can bring about steps you will need to make the change happen. Examining why the situation exists would be the best place to start.

In Shakti Gawain’s book Creative Visualization she offers a deeper step-by-step plan to help you make all of this work. This book was first published in 1978. It’s 40th edition was just published. Shakti writes that you should always end your visualization with the firm statement to yourself:

“This, or something better,

now manifests for me

in totally satisfying and harmonious ways,

for the highest good of all concerned.”

This leaves room for something different and even better than you had originally envisioned to happen, and serves as a reminder to you that this process only functions for the mutual benefit of all.

Give it a try. You might be surprised how well it works.
