Using the natural powers of imagination to create what one wants i
life.
Many times in the past we have used this power unconsciously and
because of some deep seated negative concepts about life, we automatically
expected and imagined lack, limitation, difficulties and problems to be our lot
in life and to one degree or another, we have created these for ourselves.
We can learn to use our natural creativity in a more conscious and
positive way to manifest what we truly want, love, fulfillment, enjoyment,
satisfying relationships, rewarding work, health, beauty, prosperity, inner
peace and harmony and so on.
We can use it as a key to tap into God’s natural
goodness and beautiful blessings in life.
What are we talking about?
We are talking about an idea or mental picture in your mind.
We focus on an idea or image, giving it positive energy by holding
the picture steady in our mind until we achieve our results.
The goal can be on any level, physical, emotional, mental or
spiritual.
We might imagine a new home, a new job, a fulfilling relationship,
improved health or any other life situation.
For the seeds of creativity to sprout we must establish a calm
mind.
Using creative imagination, we can see ourselves to be calm,
serene, or see ourselves as radiant beings, filled with light and love.
This is what one can do.
One will use a simple way to relax the body and mind to create a
harmonious relationship.
“Imagine the two of you relating in an open, honest and harmonious
way. Try to get a feeling of yourself in your mental image and experience it as
if were already happening.
Repeat this single short experience 2 times a day or whenever you
think of it. Eliminate all doubts. If you are sincere in your intention and
open to change, you will find the relationship becoming easier and the other
person more agreeable and easier to communicate with. This is not used to
control others, or cause them to do something against their will, this is to
dissolve our own barriers to natural harmony and allow everyone to manifest
their most positive aspects.
How does this process work?
We are living in a universe of mind and energy and all forms from
light that effect one another. Thought is a fine form matter
Thought precedes form. When we create something, we first think
about it. An artist first has an idea or inspiration and then creates a painting
etc. This is true even if we do not take direct physical action. Having an idea
or thought and holding on to it in our minds is an energy which has an effect
on the material plain.
If we constantly think of illness, we eventually become are ill.
If we believe ourselves to be beautiful, we become so.
“As you sow, so shall you reap” Whatever we put out will be
attracted back to you. This means that, whatever we think about the most and
believe in strongly or expect on the deepest level, or imagine the most
strongly will be attracted into our lives.
We can expect or visualize positive or negative experiences. This
is not just positive thinking, it goes deeper.
We can grow and change and unblock what holds us back and become
what God intents us to be, happy, fulfilled and loving beings.
Through practice and trust in the results, this can become a natural
and integrated part of our mental processes.
It is suggested to do a simple relaxation exercise to feel calm
and serene and see ourselves as radiant beings of light and love. However, we
can use the same technique to think of something we would like to do or would
like to have.
Relax body and mind, get into a comfortable position and starting
at the toes, relax each part, moving up slowly to the top of your head,
thinking of relaxing each muscle in turn, breathing slowly and deeply from your
belly. When you feel deeply relaxed, you start to imagine the thing you want
and exactly as you want them. See yourself with the object or in the situation,
enjoying it and any details that make it more real to you. It does not need to
take long. A view minutes is fine or whatever is best for you. It should be
very enjoyable, like a child daydreaming. As you enjoy the idea, or
image you may make positive statements.
For example: Here I am enjoying a positive weekend, I have a
wonderful happy relationship with ….. we are really learning to understand each
other.
If doubts or other thoughts arise in your consciousness, do not
try to resist or prevent them, just let them go by and return to your positive
statement or image.
This is a very simple process, but to use it effectively can take
some practice.
The Importance of Relaxation
When your body and mind are deeply relaxed, your brain wave
patterns change and become slower.
A benefit is that relaxation is healthful mentally and physically.
It is good to do just after waking or before sleep, because the mind and body
may already be more relaxed.
But if you tend to fall asleep, instead of lying down it is best
to sit upright in a chair in a comfortable position with your spine straight.
What does visualized mean?
Don’t worry if you don’t “actually see’ a mental image or a
picture when you close your eyes. Some people see very clear images, some see
fussy pictures, others see nothing at all or just think about it or imagine
that they are looking at it. Whatever process you use is fine. The more you
practice, the easier it will become.
The more you use creative visualization to love and serve others
as well as your own highest ends, the more love, happiness and success will
just naturally find their way to you.
A good affirmation to end any exercise is:” This or something
better manifests for me in totally harmonious ways for the highest good of all.
“Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and
the door shall be opened unto you, for everyone that asketh, receiveth and he
that seeketh findeth, and for him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
MATTHEW 7: 7, 8
Creating you Sanctuary
Imagine yourself in some beautiful natural environment; it can be
in any place that appeals to you, in a meadow, on a mountain top, in the forest
by a stream, beside the ocean. Wherever it is, it is comfortable, pleasant and
peaceful to you. Explore your inner sanctuary and notice any details, feelings
or impressions that you have about it. You can do anything you want to make it
more comfortable for yourself.
This is from now on your own personal inner sanctuary and you can
return to it any time you want to. Just like closing your eyes, relaxing and
desiring to be there. It is always very peaceful and healing. It is also a
special place to go where you wish to do creative visualization.
Light Visualization.
Visualize a light within your heart. Glowing, radiant and warm,
feel it spreading and growing, shining out from you further and further until you
are like a golden sun radiating loving energy on everything and everyone around
you.
Repeat to yourself silently. “God’s Light and Divine Love are
flowing through me and radiating to everything and everyone around me.
