Keys to Visualizing for Success  

One success formula that I have had personal success with over the years has been with visualization techniques, sometimes known as creative visualization. It starts with the premise that we have approximately seventy thousand thoughts each day, and those thoughts are the currency with which we shape our life and destiny. The idea is that we alone create our lives with these thoughts, so if we infuse our mind with the consistent images of success we will eventually recieve what we have envisioned.

It is thought by many spiritual leaders in both the East and the West that your thought images create a sort of blueprint in the ethereal, and that this blueprint will eventually mold the physical world around those images through the law of magnetic attraction. Thus you are literally shaping or building your life. It is believed by some that your higher consciousness, also called your super-consciousness by modern Freudian thought, is actually responsible for pulling to you that which you are seeking. This process is also known as manifesting, and the techniques are smiliar in schools of thought as far ranging as the East Indian Siddhi Masters and the Yaqui Indian Naguals as well as many other groups in between, such as those taught by the Hawaiian Kahuna (priestly class).

One specific visualization I have used extensively is called 'treasure mapping', which consists of forming a clear picture of precisely what you want in life. The clearer you can see object of your desire as a reality, the sooner it will materialize for you. The trick is not to focus on how your desired condition or object will appear, just put your desire out into the universe and let that same universe handle the details for you. You may very well be surpised what vehicle is used to deliver what you are seeking. Try not to place any specific conditions on how it will arrive in your life, and also picture it as already showing up in your life as a reality in the present. Treasure mapping can help along the visualization process. You can put a collage of pictures on your wall of the things that you want. For example you could have a photo of the automobile you want, your dream house, your favorite vacation destination and anything else you can think of. Look at these pictures when you first wake up in the morning. Then give silent thanks that what you desire is already coming into your life.

Do not let any doubtful or defeatist thoughts enter your mind. Creative visualization really works. How it works might seem like a mystery, but it is not at all. Close your eyes right now and picture that you are on top of the Empire State Building. Picture the skyline and everything that you would see if you were looking out from that viewpoint. Now look down and imagine your feet are halfway on the ledge, with your toes sticking out over the edge. If the picture is real enouph, your body just involuntarily flinched as if taking a step back to keep a safe distance from the ledge. Imagine that, your body involuntarily moved because of a picture in your mind. That same power of visualization can be used to bring the desires of your heart to you.
