Attracting Success With Mind Power--From Imagination To Reality

Creative Visualisation

Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams come true. Used in the right way, creative visualization can improve our life and attract success and prosperity. It is a power that can alter our environment and circumstances, cause events to happen, and attract money, possessions, work, people and love into our life. Creative visualization uses the power of the mind, and is the power behind every success.

By visualizing a certain event or a situation, or an object, such as a car, a house, furniture etc, we attract it into our life. It is a process that is similar to daydreaming. For some people it might look like magic, but there is no magic involved, only the natural process of the power of thoughts and natural mental laws. It is like having a genie at your disposal!

There are people who use this technique naturally in their everyday affairs, not being aware that they are using some sort of power. All successful people use it consciously or unconsciously, attracting the success they want into their life, by visualizing their goals as already accomplished.

Creative Visualization and the Power of Thoughts

How does it work and why? Thoughts, if powerful enough, are accepted by our subconscious mind, which then changes our mindset accordingly, as well as our habits and actions, and this brings us into contact with new people, situations and circumstances.

Thought is a creative stuff that molds our life and attracts similar stuff into our life. Thoughts also travel from one mind to another, and if they are strong enough, they can be unconsciously picked up by people, who are in a position to help us materialize our desires and goals.

We are part of the Omnipotent Power that has created the universe, and therefore we participate in the process of creation. Bearing this thought in mind, there is no wonder that thoughts materialize. Stop for a moment and think - You are an indivisible part of the great Universal Power! This means that your thoughts can come true! Not all thoughts of course, but those that are concentrated, well-defined, and often-repeated often.

Thought is energy, especially a concentrated thought laden with emotional energy. Thoughts change the balance of energy around us, and bring changes to the environment in accordance with them. There is another explanation why visualization brings results. It may come as a surprise to most, but the theory of "Maya" - Illusion, which comes from the eastern philosophies, provides the explanation.

According to the Indian philosophy "Advaita- Vedanta", which is called "Nonduality" in the West, the world is not real, but only an illusion, created by our thoughts. Since most people think and repeat the same or similar thoughts often, focusing their mind and thoughts on their current environment, they create and recreate the same sort of events or circumstances. This process preserves the same "world" and status quo. It is like watching the same film over and over again, but we can change the film by changing our thoughts and visualize different circumstances and life, and in this way create a different "reality". For us it is a reality, though in fact it is just a dream we call "reality".

By changing our thoughts and mental images we change our "Reality"; we change the "illusory" world we believe we live in. We are not employing magic or supernatural powers when creating and changing our life and circumstances. It is not something "Material" that we change; we only change our thoughts, which shape our world. All this is like dreaming a very realistic dream, and then changing the dream. We are not awakening from the dream, just changing the dream.

So why not change your dreams to something more satisfying?

If you live in small apartment and need a larger one, instead of brooding about your fate and lack of money, change your thoughts and visualize and believe that you are living in a bigger apartment.

Overcoming Limited Thinking

Creative visualization can do great things, but for every person there are some areas, which he or she might find hard to change, at least in the immediate future. The power of visualization is a mighty power, but there are some limits to using it. These limits are within us, not in the power. We often limit ourselves and cannot look beyond a limited circle. We limit ourselves by our thoughts and beliefs. The more open-minded we can be, and the more big we dare ti think, the greater are our opportunities and possibilities. Limitations are within our minds, and it is up to us to rise above them. It may take some time until things start to change. Simple, small demonstrations of this power may come fast, but bigger results may need a longer time to happen. The time and effort put forth in this study are really worthwhile. Have faith and patience and results will start appearing.

Guidelines for Creative Visualization:

Define your goal. 

Think, meditate and listen to your intuition to ascertain that you really desire to attain this goal.

Ascertain that only good will result from your visualization, for you and for others.

Sit alone in a quiet place, where you will not be disturbed.

Relax your body. 

Breathe rhythmically and deeply several times.

Visualize a clear and detailed mental image of what you desire to get or accomplish.

Use in your imagination all the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.

Add desire and feelings into what your mental image.

Visualize at least twice a day, about 10 minutes each time.

Persevere with your visualization, day after day, with, patience, hope and faith.

Stay positive, thinking positive thoughts, feeling positive feelings and using positive words.

During the day, when negative thoughts and doubts arise, replace them with positive thoughts. As each negative thought enters your mind, immediately substitute it with a positive thought.

Keep an open mind, so that you recognize opportunities and take advantage of them.

After concluding your visualization session, say attentively and earnestly, "Let everything happen in a harmonious and favorable way for all involved".

Use the power of imagination only for your and others' good, and never try to use it to get something that belongs to others or hurt others. Make sure that what you are creating is good for all involved, and cause no harm to your environment.

Though the manifestation of your goal might sometimes happen in a sudden and expected manner, most of the time it will happen in a natural and gradual manner, one thing leading to another. If you desire money, it won't necessarily drop on your head from the sky or you will win it in the lottery. It will more probably come through a new job, promotion, a business deal or through various other channels.

Our thoughts and feelings, and the mental images we carry in our mind, affect our life. By changing them we change our life. This means that we have to be careful with our thoughts and how we feel about them; otherwise we might get things and enter into situations that you do not want, and then we will have to find ways to get rid of them. Better think and visualize what that we really and truly want, and which will improve our life.

Approach this mental work with a positive attitude, earnestness and faith, but at the same time with some detachment, and regarding it as a sort of game or play. This attitude will prevent inner tension and disappointment, if things don't happen as expected.

Why you are waiting? Go into the world of Creative Visualisation and make your dreams into reality.

THOUGHTS TO CREATE YOUR DESTINY

What I want to highlight here is the fact that you have within you the power to create anything you want, and the storehouse of this power is your subconscious mind. Gerry Robert, author of The Millionaire Mindset and my mentor, used the Captain and Crew analogy to explain the relationship between the conscious and subconscious mind. The conscious mind is the Captain and the subconscious mind is the Crew. The subconscious mind (Crew) listens to the instructions given by the conscious mind (Captain), and obediently brings the instructions into reality.

One important thing to note is the Crew is not capable of formulating its own thinking. If the Captain fails to give specific instruction to the Crew, the Crew will just take ANY instruction passed to it and bring it to reality. (Read this statement again.) Joseph Murphy, author of The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind, illustrated that you are the Gardener and your subconscious mind is the fertile Soil. Your subconscious mind is capable to growing all kinds of seeds (seeds of thought) that you sow. The seeds are planted based on your habitual thinking.

So if you want apple fruits (the effect), you have to plant apple seeds (the cause). This is also the law of cause and effect. If you want to change your external conditions (the effect), you have to change your cause, which is your seed of thought. Unfortunately, most people try to change their conditions by working on those conditions. They fail to realize that an apple is still an apple. Regardless of how hard they work on it, it will not turn into an orange. What they need to do instead is to start planting orange seeds.

During a Brian Tracy seminar, he said

"Thoughts are Causes, Conditions are Effect"

Change the cause and you change the effect.

Change your thoughts and you change your conditions.

 #1 – Watch your thoughts and your words

From today onwards, stop all the negative thinking that come across your mind. The moment you realize that you are thinking of something that you do not want, tell yourself "cancel!" and then start thinking of things that you want. Having said that, if you have any negative thinking without you realizing it, just let it pass and think of something positive to end that thought. Never revisit the negative thinking and say "cancel". Doing this will only add power to the negative thought. The thought manifests as the word; the word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit; and habit hardens into character. The next thing to watch is your words.

Never end your words with a negative statement. Make it a habit to reverse it into something positive.

Never say "I can't" because when you say "I can't", your subconscious mind simply takes the instruction and manifests the reality of you can't.

The real power of the subconscious mind

Your subconscious mind works according to the law of belief. The statement "If you believe you can, you can" has been so overly emphasized by success gurus that if I just tell you again, it will not make much difference to your life. 

If you believe you can, the universe will provide you with all the necessary people, events and resources to help you develop the necessary abilities to make you can. All you need to do at this stage is an open mind and willingness to learn. Then, it will give you the opportunities to prove that you can. All you have to do then is to believe in yourself and just do it.

Belief is simply a thought that has been accepted as truth by first your conscious mind and then your subconscious mind. Belief will only take on its power when it is accepted by your subconscious mind. So merely saying "I believe I can", may not change your life, but saying "I believe I can" every single day of your life and start acting as if you can never fail, will surely move you forward.

If your subconscious truly believes that you can, fear and doubt will never be an option to you.

There is no right or wrong beliefs, only beliefs that are accepted as truth by you. If you believe in the power of your subconscious mind, you are right. If you don’t believe in the power of your subconscious mind, you are also right. Either way, it's your choice. 

#2 – Exercise your power of choice everyday

We are going to focus on hetero-suggestion, suggestion from other people. Your subconscious mind is sensitive to suggestions, be it auto-suggestions or hetero-suggestions. You must be careful to listen to suggestions that inspire, elevate and motivate you. Never listen to complaints or suggestions by pessimists and negative people. Read only books written by successful people; books that inspire and motivate you; books that tell you the truth about life. Never read books by pessimistic writers and shift your attention away from those negative stories in your daily newspaper. Your conscious mind is the gatekeeper that guards your subconscious mind from accepting beliefs that are not useful to you. Whenever you hear something that is negative, pessimistic or not inline with what you want to achieve, turn a deaf ear to those information! No not give any energy to accept or even repel those information. Never join in the discussion. Choose to believe only in good things and choose to listen to and read information that move you forward. Your greatest power is your power to choose. Choose greatness, happiness and healthiness and life will be wonderful for you.

#3 – Do affirmation everyday

The way to do it is very simple. Every morning and evening, before and after work, repeat to yourself

"I'm the best, I'm the greatest, I am extremely successful." If you drive, shout it out loud in your car, fast and with enthusiasm. Take in deep breath whenever you shout.  Enthusiasm and deep breath are two important ingredients in this exercise. Why enthusiasm? Because our subconscious is easily activated by emotion. Why deep breath? Because oxygen will increase your divine energy and will make this exercise more powerful.

How many times should you repeat? As many times as you want! Usually about 5 minutes for each session because it's quite tiring! If you do not drive, simply repeat this in your mind. Make it a habit to repeat it whenever you walk, so that whenever you walk, you will automatically do this affirmation. You must do this exercise for at least 30 days to realize changes in yourself. If you have low self worth, this exercise will increase your self esteem. If you are lost and do not know what you want in life, this exercise will help you to find direction and find your interest in life. If you are already sure of what you want, this exercise will bring you the opportunity you need to succeed.

The kind of result that will happen to you depends on which phase of life you are currently at.

Within 30 days after doing this simple exercise, in my car, I was amazed to discover that my years of slouch back problem was miraculously resolved! I think my slouch back problem was a reflection of my low self worth and when my self image improves, the problem just resolved automatically.

For the rest of the time during your journey everyday, listen to good CD programs that can reprogram your subconscious mind.

Everyday, I think you can easily spend one hour for affirmations. If you use these hours to reprogram your subconscious mind, in a few months, you would have developed a powerful successful mindset, which will surely bring about positive changes to your life. That's the law of life. It can't be otherwise! As within, so without. Your physical life is simply a reflection of your inner world. If your mindset elevates, your life must follow. 

#4 - Visualise your self to create your life

Your subconscious mind cannot differentiate between what is real and what is vividly imagined. As long as you keep repeating the images, what you visualize will inevitably appear in your life. 

  Everyday, before you sleep and after you wake up, sit on your bed, get into alpha and visualize the life that you desire. How do you visualize? Visualization is not just seeing in your mind's eye. It is about living in your mind's eye. When I say living, I mean using your five senses to make the images as real as possible. This is possible when you are in alpha because when you are in alpha, you tend to be more focus and you will forget about your present surrounding and fully immerge yourself in you world of visualization. As what Jose Silva put it, the difference between visualizing in Beta and Alpha is like saying the word swim and actually swimming. When you visualize in Alpha, you will realize that you can visualize better and the images that you visualize is so vivid that you may end up thinking that the images are real! The clearer the visualization, the faster it shows up in reality.

Memorize the following!

To further strengthen your visualization process, you can create a dream board, a board with pictures of all the things you desire, such as your house, your car and your bank statement.

When you visualize, you must be clear what is it that you really want in life.

Many people keep changing what they visualize and in the end they achieve nothing through visualization. Don’t commit the same mistake.

MEDITATION AND MIND POWER

Meditation and Mind Power

Guidelines for Meditation

One of the main objectives in meditation is simply to remain conscious. Falling asleep during a meditation does not result in the same beneficial outcomes. Another objective is to extend your consciousness into the slower Alpha frequencies and Theta frequencies. This will happen with little to moderate practice.

Position of the Body

It is important for the novice not to get too comfortable. Getting too comfortable in a meditation can easily lead to sleep. In the beginning, the best position is a sitting position with your feet apart and flat on the floor, your spine somewhat straight, head slightly lowered, and your hands on your lap, palms up or down, whatever feels more comfortable to you. Do not slouch your body, and do not cross your legs, ankles, or arms. This will only make you uncomfortable later on during the meditation, causing you to shift your focus away from the internal mental experience in order to tend to your physical experience. With time and practice you will be able to be in any position you desire.

Duration of Meditations

The duration of the meditation can be as little as 5 minutes to as much as 45 minutes, or even more depending on a your daily time allowance and purpose of the meditation. Ideally, you will meditate no less than fifteen minutes, and three times a day.

When to Practice

Mornings are the best time to practice meditating since your brain frequency is more than likely at Alpha. All you need to do is close your eyes, take a deep breath, and enter your meditation.

The second best time to practice is at night before entering sleep. Since meditation will take your body, brain and mind in the direction of sleep, getting too comfortable in your bed when meditating may result in you falling asleep. If your goal is to meditate, then consider sitting up in your bed for the meditation part, and after meditating, get yourself more comfortable and drift into sleep. If your goal is to go to sleep, you will probably do so faster and easier starting off with a meditation.

The third best time to meditate is some time after lunch. If you have the luxury of having the time to meditate early in the afternoon, then this is a great time for long and deep meditations. We all have a natural tendency to feel a bit sluggish during the early afternoon hours, and meditation can serve to energize you and/or catch you up with needed rest.

Ideally, you will meditate for 15 minutes, three times a day.

Four Steps to Meditating

Step 1: Entering

Step 2: Deepening

Step 3: Purpose

Step 4: Exit

STEP 1: Every meditation begins with some kind of entry. Most meditations begin with the eyes closed so as to eliminate most of the external stimulus, and to "kick in" a sleep-like pattern that will help encourage deep, healthy relaxation. With eyes closed your focus can easily shift from being external towards being internal, initiating the process. Any natural method of entry that shifts your focus from the external to the internal may be used effectively. The Three Deep Breath Method that you will learn is a method that is ideal for entering a meditation.

STEP 2: Once you have entered your meditation it is time to deepen. Deepening is done by relaxing the body and mind through counts done on a descending scale.

STEP 3: By the time you get to this step, your body is extremely relaxed, your brain frequency is slow, and your mental state is at its deepest and most receptive. This makes Step 3 ideal for any kind of mental programming. Programming can be done in the form of self-talk, such as in the case of affirmations, goal setting and problem solving, formula-type techniques, and guided imagery mostly used for self-healing.

STEP 4: Exiting a meditation can be done by simply opening your eyes. You can exit the meditation more gradually by counting slowly from 1-3, snapping your fingers lightly, and mentally saying, "Eyes open, feeling wide awake and in perfect health." Another way of exiting a meditation is by entering sleep.

Wandering Mind and Physical Sensations and Consciousness

During your meditations it is very common for your mind to wander. This is normal. When you find your mind wandering simply bring your attention back to whatever you are doing and continue where you left off. Occasionally, you will even loose awareness, and even enter sleep. This too is normal. With practice, this will happen less and less. Although concentration and focus will be enhanced through time, your mind's wandering nature will never go away completely.

Because everybody is unique, the physical sensation experienced during meditation may vary from person to person. It can be anywhere from a feeling of heaviness to a feeling of weightlessness. You may even have the sensation of floating. Often, during deep physical relaxation, you may experience a sense of desensitization, and feel as if your body is no longer there. All these and other experiences and sensations are indicators that you are doing just fine.

Remember that the element you are adding to something your body, brain, and mind has done all its life unconsciously is consciousness. By meditating you are able to convert the subconscious into the inner conscious. This may be very new to you and something well worth exploring.

Three Deep Breath Method

Before meditating, you will get into a comfortable position; you will then close your eyes, and take the first deep breath.

First Breath: The first deep breath is used to initiate the relaxation process and to learn to relax your body from head to toes in a short period of time. With practice, the first breath will become a trigger mechanism for relaxing your body fully and completely from head to toes. After taking the first deep breath, say to yourself mentally, "Body, it is time to relax."

The first deep breath is for physical relaxation, and it is achieved by relaxing one part at a time. Part-by-part relaxation or fractional relaxation is done by simply focusing your attention on different parts of your body, usually starting with your scalp and going slowly downward one part at a time until you reach your toes.

As you focus on each part of your body relax all tensions and ligament pressures, and place them in a deep state of relaxation that will go deeper and deeper with every breath you take. You may take 15 minutes, 20 minutes, or longer doing the part-by-part body relaxation.

When you do The Deep Relaxation Exercise for the first time, it may be helpful for you to first tense the muscles of your body tightly, and then relax them. This can help establish a clear distinction between tension and relaxation that will make it easier to learn to relax during the exercise and in the future when you practice relaxation exercises or meditations.

Start From the Head and Move Slowly Downward:

Concentrate on the skin covering your head. Feel the skin that covers your scalp. Feel the vibration of the skin caused by circulation, and then relax and release all tensions and ligament pressures from your scalp and place them in a deep state of relaxation that will grow deeper and deeper with every breath. Taking your time, do the same for the rest of your body; forehead, the tissue surrounding your eyes, cheeks, jaws, neck and throat area (Externally and internally), shoulders, arms, hands, back, spine, chest (Externally and internally), abdomen (Externally and internally), thighs, knees, calves, feet, and toes.

Remember to take occasional deep breaths, in through your nose as if filling your belly with air, and then out, exhaling through your nose. Breathe in this manner anytime you want to enter an even deeper more relaxed state. It is a wonderful feeling to be deeply relaxed, a very healthy state of being.

When you reach full and deep physical relaxation, make a strong mental impression of the experience. Allow your body, brain, and mind to memorize how it feels to be deeply relaxed so that you can create it quickly, and easily in future meditations.

Second Breath: The second deep breath is taken once you are physically relaxed, and it is used for relaxing the mind. You will be able to learn to relax your mind in a matter of seconds. After taking the second deep breath, say to yourself mentally, "Mind, it is time to relax."

To learn to relax mentally all you need to do is to think of tranquil and passive thoughts and scenes. Any thought, and scene that makes you tranquil and passive helps to relax your mind. You may want to imagine yourself at the beach on a nice summer day when the breeze is just right, the temperature is perfect, the sounds are soothing, the sand is healing, and the sun is energizing. Spend enough time enjoying the scene, experiencing this imagery with all of your mental senses, and fully associated. Any tranquil or passive image you choose to experience, do so with full association. You may take 2 to 5 minutes or longer doing this. Occasionally, remind yourself to breathe deeply. Do note that time may be somewhat distorted when meditating.

Third Breath: The third deep breath is for establishing your starting point for programming. After taking the third deep breath, say to yourself mentally, "I am now at Starting Point, feeling relaxed and ready to begin my programming."

At your "Starting Point," you can do any type of positive and/or healthy programming you desire. This is a deeper level of mind, deeper than after having taken the first or second breath. You are now ready to begin programming.

Programming is best done when the brain is most receptive. When the body and mind are relaxed and the brain is emitting Alpha brain frequencies, the brain is highly receptive for programming any kind of beneficial information. The results of strongly impressed programs are the full benefits expected from the program itself. Programs are impressed in the following ways:

 Affirmations - Affirmations are positive assertions you make to yourself about a goal. They are statements involving the very things you want to have, do, or be. Affirmations are repeated often, both when wide awake and active and during meditations. Affirmations make deep roots in your being when repeated during meditations.

 Goal Setting and Problem Solving - This can best be done through the use of visualization and imagination. Visualize the present situation or problem, and then imagine the desired goal or solution.

 Formulized Techniques - These are thought out and formulated techniques that when you follow the technique step-by-step during the meditation, the results are surprisingly positive.

 Self-guided imagery - In self-guided imagery, you can program for any outcome you desire such as goal setting or healing.

Breathing Reminder

Be aware of your breathing and become accustomed to breathing deeply and rhythmically throughout the entire meditation. Take occasional deep breaths as you need for further deepening. Deep breaths will help relax your muscles, send oxygen throughout your body and brain, and slow down your pace. Occasional deep breaths will help keep you in a deep state of relaxation.

Deep breathing is achieved when you notice your belly rising and lowering with each breath. It does not involve upper chest breathing. Allow your breath to fill the lower part of your lungs and make your belly rise. This is the type of breathing you experience when you are in a prone position or lying down.

Countdown Deepening Exercises

Further deepening may be done at any time by counting on a descending scale from 100 - 1, 50 - 1, 25 - 1, or 10 - 1, and saying the word "Deeper" between counts. By the time you reach the number 1, you will be at a deeper and healthier state of body and mind. Give the word "Deeper" the meaning of being deeper within or deeper in thought. As you go through the countdown, imagine or bring to mind the descending feeling you experience while in an elevator.

The fastest way to deepen any time during your meditation, is to take a deep breath and say to yourself mentally, "Deeper and deeper," or do a short countdown from 10-1, saying "Deeper and deeper" between numbers.

It is a wonderful, healthy feeling to be deeply relaxed.

In Closing

Meditation is done by choice, and is vital for overall well being. It improves the quality of your health, relationships, job performance, creativity, and problem solving ability. It also allows for you to make better choices and decisions. With meditation you can make the most of your life, and enjoy it, and those you share it with to the fullest.
