Beginner's Guide to Creative Visualization
Welcome to the Beginner's
Guide to Creative Visualization. Everything you need to know is
here!
To Visualize effectively, it is essential that you
practice - and master - this
process.
This is the
foundation for all your future success, so don't rush ahead.
If you'd prefer a step-by-step guide to Creative
Visualization, without the
detailed explanation, check out the basic Creative
Visualization Technique.
Guide to Creative Visualization
Step 1 - Relax Deeply
It is essential that you are in a deeply relaxed state before you
attempt to Visualize.
If not, your brain will be running "too fast",
and you'll run into difficulties.
(This is where most
people fall down when they attempt Visualization for the first time).
We are aiming to be in such a relaxed state of mind, that our brain
produces alpha
brain waves.
This is because scientists have shown that in alpha we have much better access to our subconscious mind,
which is perfect for Visualization.
NOTE: Don't be confused by the term
"alpha" - this is a totally natural
state of mind, which you experience every day.
In fact, your
brain is
in alpha whenever you take a nap.
Getting to that lovely, warm place
between being awake and asleep - and remaining conscious - is our aim.
Getting Into
Alpha... with the Creative Visualization MP3
You can learn how to produce alpha brain waves on demand
through meditation.
But if you don't have the time - or the inclination - to
put in the hours required to master meditation, there is another
alternative: The
Creative Visualization MP3.
The
Creative Visualization MP3 is specifically designed to gently & naturally take you into
alpha.
Simply put on headphones, press play, and let go… and
within a few minutes you'll be in the perfect
state of mind for Visualization. --->
Read my review here.
Alternatively, you can get a free 10 minute sample of
this MP3 when you subscribe to this site, as part of your Free
Visualization Starter Kit.
How to get
Super-Relaxed
Here's a good process to follow to get super-relaxed.
With a little bit of practice, you'll be mega-relaxed within 3-5 minutes.
Feel
free to try it now as you read along…
you should experience a more
relaxed state almost immediately,
which comes with numerous health
benefits on its own!
1) Sit
somewhere comfortable where
you're not going to be disturbed. A comfy chair is perfect, but if
you're naughty you can lay on your bed (although you might fall asleep)
2) Put headphones
on, and press play on The
Creative Visualization MP3. Shut your eyes… and prepare to relax!
3) Start to slow down your breathing
by taking several slow, conscious breaths. Pay attention as you breathe
all the way in - and blow the air all the way out. Breathe through your
belly, so you can see your stomach moving up and down. Do this for a minute or two.
4) Next,
consciously pay attention to various
parts of your body, and "let
go" of the tension in each a little.
So, for example, when focussing on your head,
consciously relax your jaw a bit. Then relax your forehead. Loosen the
muscles around your mouth. Let your cheekbones drop. Allow your eyes to
relax.
Then
move down to your neck, allowing the tension to disappear. The same for
your shoulders… and then relax all the way down your arms to your
wrists and fingers.
You can then let your chest, abdomen and legs relax a little more than
they are.
Do this for your entire body.
Within a few minutes, you should feel a really pleasant "energy"
circulating throughout your body, and feel a deep sense of peace and
relaxation.
Congratulations
- you are now in the perfect state of mind and body for Visualization!

Step 2 - The Basic Visualization
When your brain is producing alpha waves - and you feel
really chilled - it's time to Visualize! Simply follow this
step-by-step guide to Creative Visualization...
To Visualize, all you have to do is
start running a "mental movie" of you
achieving your goals, inside your imagination ---> It's really that simple.
This
could be a movie of you making a sales call; running a business;
winning an award; earning big stacks of money; going on a date with
your perfect partner; living in your dream house…
... in fact, it's totally up to you, and you are only limited by your imagination.
NOTE: The most important thing is to
make these pictures
as detailed
and vivid as possible.
The best way to do this is to pay
particular attention to the small
details
i.e. any smells, sounds,
tastes… as well as
objects, locations, people… what you're wearing, how you're standing,
how you speak… etc etc.
As Dr Maxwell Maltz noted in Psycho
Cybernetics, "Details
of the imagined environment are all-important… because, for all
practical purposes, you are creating
a practical experience".
When your imagination produces movies which are vivid and detailed enough, your
Visualization will be equivalent to
an actual experience - which is when you invoke all of the power
of Visualization.
FEEL IT !!
Next, imagine how you
would feel if you were already acting like this in "real life".
What would it feel like? What emotions would you experience?
If you are typically
shy, imagine walking through a party with confidence, charm and humour.
How does that feel
different?
If you want to be rich, imagine checking your bank account to see a
balance with plenty of 0000's. What
does being rich feel like? How do you feel inside? How do you feel
about money now?
Make
sure you generate strong, positive emotions.
The secret of this guide to Visualization is that you
must experience the same emotions as
if you had already achieved
your goals for real!
ACT IDEALLY !!
The key with
Visualization is to see yourself acting ideally.
If you want to be a better basketball player, see
yourself playing like Kobe Bryant.
If you want to be an awesome public speaker, imagine
talking on stage like Tony Robbins.
If you want to be a
leading Jedi, imagine that you are Yoda!!
As
Dr Maltz said in Psycho Cybernetics
:
"It doesn't matter
how you acted yesterday. You do not need to try to have faith you will
act in the ideal way tomorrow.
Your nervous system will take care of that in time - if you continue to
practice...
... See yourself
acting, feeling, being as you want to
be…
Just
say to yourself, 'I am going to imagine myself acting this way now -
for 20 minutes today' "
I hope that resonates with you. Don't stress that "I'm not really like this yet!"
Simply
act ideally, feel the emotions, make the experience as vivid as
possible… and you will build "new memories" into your subconscious mind.
After practicing this for a while (typically several days to a couple
of weeks) you will start to feel differently. You'll feel more
confident - and you'll act in a manner consistent with your
Visualization without even trying!
Guide to Creative Visualization: RECAP !
Well, that's the Beginner's Guide to Creative
Visualization for you. If you practice - and master - this process, you
will start to experience the numerous benefits of Visualization!
I hope I explained it in a clear & concise way… which inspires you
to start visualising today. Thanks for your time!
Remember that in addition to all the other benefits (i.e. getting more
of what you want), Visualization
feels really good! It makes you feel empowered, confident,
self-assured… and increases ambition and self-belief!
Practice this exercise once a
day for a week or two. It only takes about 20 minutes. And remember
that it's a whole lot easier
when you use The
Creative Visualization MP3.
This practice could fundamentally change your life… but
you've gotta commit to giving it a go.
