How to Use Visioning If You’re Not That Visual

By Emma Gwillim

WHAT you see is what you get.  Focus on the image of the thing you most want to create in your life and it will become manifest – so we've been told.  But what if you're just not that visual?

It's estimated that around two-thirds of the population have a visual representation system – the brain's preferred way of processing information.

How 'visual' are you?

But what if you're in the minority? What do you get when you just can't see it? One quick Google will give you reams of evidence of how effective visualization can be.

Elite sports people have used the trick of 'mental rehearsal' for decades, seeing themselves scoring the goal, hitting the hole in one, getting the last-minute, game-winning touchdown.

'The Secret' popularized using the 'Law of Attraction', imagining a goal achieved in vivid imagery, to manifest it into reality. Carefully curated vision boards are championed.

Why is it so effective? Giving your brain a clear picture – a destination if you will – of where you want to get to, activates the creative part that is a solution-finder, keen to obey.

It also makes sure your brain filters the right information to keep you on the fast-track to your goal, weeding out anything irrelevant.

And it gives you the motivation and encouragement needed to keep going.

So, now we're sold on the power of visualization, how can you apply these principles if seeing the end result isn't coming easily?  Here are five tips:

1. Have faith: Do what you can. While visual imagery may not be your brain's preferred mode of operation, focus on what you can see.

Don't load pressure on yourself to see the complete picture, just notice what does come up for you.

2. Take a dive: If you can't see the full picture of your goal achieved, ask yourself what proof or evidence would you need to know you've achieved your goal.

For example, if it's generating a certain income, it might be that a bank statement would be the proof you need.

Or, if you're aiming to be a certain weight, it might be that seeing the dial on the bathroom scales is your evidence.

Dive into a specific scenario in your ideal reality and take a snapshot that you can use as your 'vision' rather than feeling stressed that you can't see the bigger picture.

3. Use your senses: To follow the Law of Attraction principles is to act as if you've already achieved the goal it is you're seeking.

Visualizing aside, use your senses to play out in your imagination what you would be feeling, what you'd hear, what you'd smell, taste, think if you were already living out your dream.

Amplify the sounds and really embrace the feelings that come up as you focus on your goal.

4. Break it down: Envisioning a big goal may feel a little unnatural for some when it seems a far cry from their current reality.

If you're a more logical thinker you may want to break down your goal into smaller steps, while keeping the big goal in mind.

What steps would it take to get you where you want to go?  Practice focusing on, and visualizing, a smaller milestone on the path to your goal.

5. Play to your strengths: Focus on what works for you. If you're a natural writer, write out your goal achieved in the most creative, compelling language you can muster.

If you prefer to listen, record yourself describing your goal achieved and play it back to yourself.

Draw up a plan or leave little reminders or affirmations around your home. Know what works for you and use it to your advantage.

What Is Conscious Creation?

By Patricia A Craig

CONSCIOUS creation – also known as the Law of Attraction – is the belief that each of us creates our own reality.

These two metaphysical terms are defined similarly and are often interchanged with the scientific term, Quantum Physics.

The principles of Conscious Creation/Law of Attraction suggest that what you focus on consistently with great emotion and with the most dominant belief is actually what manifests in your life.

In simple terms, ‘Thoughts become things’.

Quantum physics is the branch of physics which provides us with the description of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interaction of matter and energy.

In simpler terms, in comparison to the definition of Law of Attraction, thoughts are energy. The energy of our thoughts combines with emotion and dominant belief.

This combination affects what is attracted to us and determines what manifests into our lives. Our thoughts do create things. We are the creator of our lives.

What we need to keep in mind here is that everything is energy, including our thoughts. We also need to keep in mind that there is a huge mis-perception that anything with form is a solid mass.

If we were to put any physical item under a high-powered microscope and view it, we would see that, actually, the mass is not a solid at all. Solid form is an optical illusion.

What is really occurring is that atoms are vibrating and slamming into one another, creating the illusion of a solid mass.

To help you to understand the Law of Attraction theory a little better, I would like to use how an echo functions as an example.

We know that an echo imitates a sound or a wave and then returns the sound or wave back to its original source.

Your thoughts are energy. When you consistently focus your thoughts, they travel outward like an echo into the Quantum field of the Universe.

Once the Universe receives the wave of thought signal, it returns the signal back to its original source in the form of a physical manifestation.

If you are confused about what it is exactly I am saying to you, I will try to clear it up with a true story:

I always cut out and/or collect pictures of people, places, things or experiences I desire. I keep the pictures on some sort of vision board, whether it is a physical board or an electronic form of a vision board.

There is one particular person I have on my vision board that I not only wanted to meet but also wanted the opportunity to spend some time with, in a more intimate setting where I would have the freedom to ask him anything.

I also thought how exciting it would be to see his house. The person that I am referring to is Mr. John Assaraf.

John describes himself as an entrepreneur, researcher, and explorer of consciousness and human behavior.

He is also most noted for his appearance in the movie ‘The Secret’, where he talks about how he manifested the house of his dreams and didn’t even realize he was living in it.

This is the exact house I wanted to see for myself. Consistently every day, I would focus on the items on my vision board.

I would imagine myself talking with John and enjoying his company as we sat comfortably in his living room. I felt the enjoyment, the fun, the excitement in my body as I visualized this on a daily basis.

One day, when I was writing on my Facebook wall, I noticed an ad from I-Grasshopper. They were offering a course called Quantum Transformation for a really reasonable price.

I am not one for clicking on ads but I felt really drawn to click on the ad and so I did.

I did not know it at the time but the instructors of the course were actually friends with John Assaraf. I was so excited when I learned John would be a guest on one of the conference calls.

I even got to personally say hello to John on the call and have a brief interaction with him as he asked where I was calling in from. I was so thrilled!

I was even more excited when we were told that a small group of us were going to be given the opportunity to meet John at his house and spend the day with him.

And, you guessed it... What I focused on consistently with great positive emotion and faith was sent out to the Universe as an echo; the Universe returned to me as a physical manifestation of my desire.

I got to not only meet John Assaraf but also spend the day with him in an intimate setting which was located in the very house he spoke of in the movie, ‘The Secret’. Thoughts do create things!

Imagine your thoughts as if they were a person sitting in the driver’s seat of a car. Thoughts are what ‘drive’ you.

The emotions behind a thought represent the gas pedal. In other words, emotions are the accelerator. Consistently thinking about something would be your ‘focus’.

Your focus is your directional navigation. In other words what direction are you steering your thoughts?

Are you focused on what you desire or more so on what you lack? The greater the emotion is behind a thought, the faster the manifestation shows up in your reality.

If you want to know exactly what your emotionally charged consistent focus has been, observe your surroundings.

Notice what is in your reality. What have you observed? Are there things in your life right now that you do not want? Are there things you would like to change?

Are there things you have been struggling with for a very long time?

Please understand as you are noticing the things that you do not want, do not judge them or yourself.

Judging only places more focus on what you do not want and gives more energy flow to the things you do not want.

Take the stance that nothing is good or bad; it is just where you are right now based on a previous thought. The exciting news is a thought can be changed!

We are always in a continuous stream of creation. Everything in your life has been created from a thought from your past – a thought can be changed.

Thus it is possible in theory that you can change your past and create a new reality just by the simple act of ‘changing your mind’.

Rise Above Your Circumstances

By Mohnish M Nair

HAVE you been in that phase of life where everything around you seems so wrong? Many times, in the rush of life we tend to lose track of our progress and end up where we never imagined ourselves to be. The early years start with a lot of zest, dreams and goals and as we pursue our dreams we may sometimes get carried away and fail to notice the direction of our progress.

A deviation of a few inches from our chosen path may lead us miles away from our destination. I feel many of us today have somewhere lost the way in pursuit of the goals. Ambition is a double-edged sword - it can make us if we channel it with discipline and it can break us if we allow it to go to our heads. Many have lost the enthusiasm and cheerfulness they once possessed. Many have become cynical about themselves and the world around them and there are many who have given up.

If you feel that your life looks like one train wreck and you feel lost and sad about yourself and the way your life has turned out to be..... breathe, there is hope. Don't become all judgemental about the way you conducted your life. Life isn't over yet. Your story isn't over until you breathe your last and it takes just one moment to change your life upside down, trust me, I have experienced this time and again.

Every time I feel that I have screwed up and there is no hope, I go back to my dreams, I revisit my old self, I analyze the reason why I am where I am and then I thank god for giving me the power to introspect. Self introspection is a privilege and a blessing. There are many who find themselves ill-equipped to do so. People like to be in a place where they see others and circumstances as the cause of all the tribulations in their life.

They readily blame their friends, family, outsiders for their situation and this is a self-defeating tendency. Nobody but you has the control over your life and if you have allowed others to control your life, it's your fault - stop blaming them. Take charge and decide to change things for the better.

You must stop whining, complaining, comparing and envying those around you. I strongly believe that each one of us is sent on this planet in the form of a human for some specific reason. We are here for a cause; we must utilize this limited time with complete enthusiasm, honesty, gratitude and perseverance.

I have a philosophy where I believe we are born as humans after thousands of births as reptiles, crawling creatures and pests. For having overcome a multitude of troubles, god gives us the gift of being born as human as a souvenir for our hard work. We must cherish and value this gift and make the best use of whatever it is that is left of it.

You can get back on track by doing the following things:

1. Find out where you went wrong and become aware of it. Remember to engrain "your" mistakes into your mind so that the next time you tend to do it, you become alert before hand.

2. Forgive yourself for your mistakes. You must first unburden yourself of the guilt of not doing what you were supposed to do. Emptying your soul makes way for fresh exuberance.

3. Be grateful for what you have. Gratitude has magnetic powers that can heal and attract. It can help you become aware about your strengths and also attract opportunities from the available resources.

4. Write down fresh goals with deadlines. Things that you must achieve before you die. Break it down into short term - 1 to 3 years, mid term - 5 years and long term - 10 plus years.

5. Make a detailed action plan to achieve those goals. Take one goal at a time. Don't make your action plan too overwhelming and demanding. Neither should you make it so easy that it doesn't disrupt your comfort zone. You must be motivated to follow the action plan at the same time. It must also take account of your weaknesses.

6. Take help from people who can help you stick to your plans. Take help from those who can help you achieve your goals faster. Don't try to be the Lone Ranger.

7. Visually surround yourself with your goals and written action plan in the form of motivational charts, vision boards, mobile/computer wallpapers, self-affirmations and meditation-cum-workouts that can help you stay focused and remind you throughout the day.

8. STICK TO YOUR GOALS NO MATTER WHAT! Stay disciplined - it's the most difficult part, but consistency is the key to grand success. A consistently flowing stream has the power to erode a mountain.

9. The key to achieving goals is to mix consistent action with unidirectional focus. For this you must train your mind and body on a daily basis to remain enthused. You must take time everyday to plan, meditate and reprogram your mind to overcome negative thoughts and incidents.

10. Introspect and keep upgrading yourself. Keep learning new things that will help you achieve your goals faster. Be ready to make course corrections if needed and above all stay cheerful irrespective of the circumstances.

Remember, as much as we have the right to dream, we also have the responsibility to fulfill and achieve those dreams, irrespective of the hurdles, challenges and problems.

The pursuit of dreams isn't easy, no one said it would be, but it is those who succumb to their weaknesses and fall prey to self-pity that bring shame to the humankind.

Rise and let your inner strengths shine through the darkness of pain and anguish. Let your dreams light up your life and inspire many others to chase their dreams. Become an icon of victory and not a victim of self-defeat.

The Top Five Things You Need To Know About the Secret of the Law of Attraction

By Dr R Anthony


The Law of Attraction states that like attracts like. This simply means that we have the power to attract and manifest whatever it is that our mind can conceive.

Dr Robert Anthony

If we keep on visualizing our hopes and dreams and empower ourselves with positive affirmations, we can attain what our hearts truly desire. This is the secret of the Law of Attraction.

1. You must take action to achieve your goals. Success is only possible if you allow yourself to be filled with passion and act on your visualization.

The secret of the Law of Attraction is to immerse yourself in positivity so that you can, in turn, take action towards a positive direction.

Visualizing your dreams in great detail is only the first step. You must let this image serve as your fuel and guide so that you can stay true to what would give you true happiness and success.

2. Take the time to listen to your heart and realize what it is that you truly desire. Write down your thoughts or try creating vision boards.

This will help you create a clear picture of what you want to achieve and also serve as a daily reminder of why you must ensure that the secret of the Law of Attraction is something that you apply in your daily life.

Bucket lists and vision boards can also help ensure that you stay focused and motivated. It can be the key that will unlock the power of your subconscious and accelerate your success!

3. Make sure to use positive affirmations and make it a habit. You must keep yourself motivated and focused on your goals. You can do this by reminding yourself daily of what it is that you truly want.

Read inspirational quotations or create a motivational mantra that you can say every day to fuel your passion and keep you on the right path.

4. Whatever your goal may be – be it your love life, your career, or your family life – you must ensure that your hopes and desires resonate to the Universe.

Have a clear picture of your goal in your mind and plan out the steps that will take you there.

Unlocking the secret of the Law of Attraction lies in your ability to not just believe in your dreams but also plan and take the right actions that will get you there.

5. There are a lot of people who question the secret of the Law of Attraction but more and more researchers discover scientific evidence supporting it. Scientists have recently uncovered ‘mirror neurons’.

Mirror neurons allow the brain to learn new skills by mirroring the actions we see. They also play a big role in helping us understand the actions of another individual.

There’s also some speculation as to how these mirror neurons are the basis of how we empathize.

This supports the Law of Attraction because it is by tapping the power of our mind skills that we can attract our dreams and achieve true success.

Dr. Robert Anthony can help you unlock the Secret of the Law of Attraction. Visit his site to learn more on how you can manifest your dreams! You can make a habit of living right and working towards achieving your dreams!
