Let's suppose you were learning to play the piano, one of the first skills you would have to master is the ability to play the scale of C major.The technique of playing the notes of the scale and playing smoothly can be vastly improved away from the piano without touching a single note. All it would require is to concentrate on picturing a piano, and imagining yourself playing the piano. To make this technique of visualization work, really work and produce results, the picture has to be clear, and correct.
To become proficient at playing scale C major requires not just a picture in your mind's eye of yourself sitting at a piano and playing. But, mentally seeing the actual notes and your hands playing the correct notes, with the correct fingering. Thumb, first finger, index linger, followed by thumb under onto F etc. The exact and correct way to play the scale. So before visualization - or using photographic memory - the information has to be there so that the pictures we visualize are clear and correct. If the scale was wrongly remembered and practiced wrongly during visualization, it would be extremely hard to unlearn it.
These points apply to whatever the technique of visualization is being used for. Whether to improve a skill or to improve your lifestyle by visualizing what you would like. Remember we discussed how vitality and energy, in fact life itself is given to what we think about, because thought has the power of creation. We have also just discussed how important it is to visualize something in the correct way so that the picture is clear and correct. The results will be correct if the information pictured during the visualization is correct. From the information gathered from the magazines and literature you have collected you will already have at least one item that you desire: at least one product of wealth. Here are the instructions of how to obtain your desire, using the technique of visualization.
Let's take a car as an example. Suppose your choice was a Mercedes. Due to the literature you have collected and the showroom you have visited, you would know the following information: the color of your car, the shape/design of the car, the color of the interior, the ceiling, the dashboard, shape of the seats, inside the boot, size etc. Everything even down to the smallest detail of what's on the dashboard. What color, size and shape the steering wheel is. So your next step is to bring that information to life in the way you want. Through the technique of visualization you can give life, energy and vitality to a thought creation. There is no need to give any thought as to how you can afford the item, forget that aspect. The finite (literal meaning limited, ending) cannot tell the infinite (literal meaning - limitless, endless, boundless never ending) how to bring something to pass.·
Nowm make yourself comfortable, in a quiet room. Close your eyes, to avoid the distraction of objects around you. Mentally picture the Mercedes in all its detail, slowly, patiently, in a totally relaxed way. See the bright shiny new paint, of the color of your choice, the bright shiny chrome, clean wheels and new tires, etc.· Enjoy the beautiful design and shape of the car. The brighter and more brilliant you can imagine colors, the stronger and better the results will be. This is an important aspect of visualization. Never, visualize anything in a drab gray way, unless you want drab gray results.· Build a scenario around the car of your choice (in your imagination). See the car keys in your hand. Open the car door, (driver’s side) and ease yourself into the seat; shut the door. Put the key into the ignition; click the seat belt on. Start the engine and drive off in your car.
You could imagine yourself showing the car to your partner, parents or a friend. Another important aspect of visualization is to couple it with feeling. To bring visualization alive and give it extra strength, feel the happiness as you drive around in your Mercedes.If you're not sure what we mean, let's put it this way. If you were to walk into a room that had paint peeling off the walls, with damp patches on the walls and a smell of dampness, you would feel at a low consciousness level, a low ebb.If you then walked into the next room, that was clean, with newly painted walls, you would immediately feel better, uplifted, on a higher consciousness level.
It is important when visualizing that you work on lifting up your consciousness as high as you can; feeling as good as you can. The best and easiest way is to imagine that the Mercedes is already yours. If you only experience that feeling that sensation of lifting your consciousness for a split second at a time at first, that is excellent. With practice and in time, you will become proficient in retaining the feeling for longer periods. It is pure magic, all effort is worthwhile. It is an important part of achieving results. The senses tell you that you can't afford a Mercedes, you're only dreaming. Cheat the senses, ignore them, ignore rational arguments of the logical mind, and rise above that level of consciousness and feel the happiness, pleasure and joy that you would feel at owning a Mercedes. Whatever your choice of desire is, that is how you go about visualizing them. If it is a large house, then visualize yourself in a large house. In just the same way, see everything in your imagination. See the kitchen, the lounge etc., even if you design them around pictures in the magazines or brochures you have been collecting. If you live in a city and yearn to live in the country, then visualize yourself, in a house, cottage, mansion or whatever your choice is. Perhaps a garden surrounded by beautiful countryside. See yourself go for a walk in the countryside.
Now you can see why it is important to actually know what you want from life. If you don't know, then it is easy to end up with a life that is not to your liking. Whatever you think about eventually comes to pass in your life. I think it is fair to say that most people know without being told that a hypochondriac eventually does become genuinely ill. Because their thoughts are always on illness, their bodies eventually manifest an illness. Likewise, any person who lets fear of impending tragedy, or who is all doom and gloom, is acting like a magnet to attract just that. Magnet and magnate are two very similar words in spelling and sound.If your thoughts are positive and happy, and with total faith you imagine pictures of wealth and happiness, your magnetism will make you a magnate (tycoon). Can you see how these words are so similar?Visualizing what you desire is a powerful technique for attracting your desires to you. Don't crowd your mind with too many different ideas, dreams or desires.Jumping from one to another too quickly, will cause confusion. It is far better to concentrate on visualizing definite items or projects one at a time, until you become extremely proficient at seeing that particular visualization very clearly and easily.In this way you can build your confidence. As you achieve results from your efforts, then you can build on the results and the confidence gained. So, do you see what is the benefit about going slowly and building on your results, and building your confidence?If you start with too many ideas that aren't developed into clear-cut pictures, the results won't be very good.
When you are visualizing you can be likened to a sculpture. Once a sculpture is started, you wouldn't leave it half finished and start another one, because you could land up with several unfinished projects. In the same way, it too many ideas are worked on at the same time, the results would not be harmonious, but muddled and chaotic, as a reflection of your thoughts. As long as you can remember the fundamental basic law, which is: what you think today, will become tomorrow. In other words, today, now, you are building your tomorrow, your future. It is up to each of us individually to choose what our tomorrows will be like. To ensure your future will be what you desire it to be, ensure your thoughts are constructive and motivated by the highest degree of honesty and integrity. Above all, endeavor to be true to yourself and others. You now have the technique of a powerful tool, visualization, that can and will produce results, to begin planning a better wealthier tomorrow. To carry it out successfully needs above all, the ability to concentrate. Unfortunately, in the society we live, concentration is not a faculty that we are encouraged to nurture. In tact, it does the opposite, it destroys our ability to concentrate. Concentration has to be worked on and developed. It is essential for obtaining good results in visualization, and I would even go so far as to say that the ability to be single- minded and concentrate is essential for success in business. So in any business to develop this ability is a boon. To be efficient due to concentration is to achieve more in less time.
You've already begun to develop concentration with last month’s exercises. First, learning to relax and then consciously halting the minds' constant chattering thoughts. For this month, continue to carry out that exercise for 5 minutes, increasing the time it you can. If you find that out of 5 minutes you achieve only 1 minute of quiet, then that is fine. You will still reap the benefit of clarity, peace and a growing awareness and control of your mind, as well as helping to increase your concentration.Just do your best, because the results will be worth the effort.
The following exercise also helps to develop concentration to make visualization easier and more effective. Practice it once a day, it's great fun. Concentration is getting focused.
Stand with both feet together, and raise your arms straight out at the sides until they are at shoulder level. Without looking at your feet, or anywhere except this chosen point ahead of you, slowly walk 10 steps forward and then 10 steps back, by placing the heel directly in front of the toes of the other foot each time.After the first week, repeat the exercise once a day for 5 minutes, allowing your arms to be placed at the side of the body in normal walking position when the arms start to ache
Carry out all exercises for developing your powers of concentration. Also, consciously endeavor to work on improving your concentration in life generally. Use the relaxation techniques whenever it is needed and constantly pull your mind back if it starts aimlessly wandering over meaningless trivia. Spending between 10 - 15 minutes a day visualizing products of wealth and then spending the rest of each day being negative will not produce results of any worth. As soon as negative worrying thoughts rear their ugly head, remind yourself what you think about you are giving energy to. Remember, the Sky is the Limit! Only the limitation we ourselves place on our projects and lives, prevent us from going further. Don't waste precious energy, yours or anyone else's by wasting any time in negative talk, positive action is what makes money, along side Inner Power, which you are already learning to use.
There is no trying, either you do, or do not. It is best developed in silence, in the depths of your own being.You want to be a success, and achieve great financial rewards, so go for it, cut through the bonds of doubt. Finally, times of quietness of SILENCE are ESSENTIAL for success. Go for a walk, relax, clear the mind and allow your inner intelligence and intuition to guide you in your daily life and dealings. One correct action is far better than 100 wrong actions. Spend 10 - 15 minutes a day - up to 3 times a day - visualizing the first goal you want to achieve. To work visualization needs to be accompanied with a warmth and goodness of heart. Only a desire to bring about that which is good and brings joy. Approach visualization from the God ward side - not purely from mental facilities.
