The shortest and most effective visualization

A romantic story

The magical effects of visualizations has been a subject close to my heart as it has proven to bring about so many positive changes and outcomes in my life. My husband being one of them. (Read all about that @ http://tasneemkagalwalla.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-i-attracted-my-ideal-partner-in-3.html )

For many years I have been regularly spending time with creating customized visualizations for myself and my clients as well as listening to so many other empowering ones available from contemporaries and experts in my line of work.

It has become my habit consequently to usually drift off to sleep listening to a guided visualization every night. It soothes the days stress away, calms and refreshes the mind and body thus allowing a peaceful night in. It’s a perfect addition to your bedtime routine.

One cold night after a long day I stumbled into bed ready to plug in and switch off for the night. Just when I got comfy under the sheets, having plugged in the headphones into my mobile I realized that my phone battery had died. Damn. Complete bummer. The thought of getting out of bed and getting my IPad which would well serve the same purpose was too cumbersome. I was just too comfy to make that effort. So I playfully rolled over to my husband and asked him to guide me through his version of a visualization for the night.

Now it’s important here to know a little bit about my husband. Although he has a very emotional and sensitive side to him, mostly he’s a finance guy with a practical head between his shoulders. He is more of a left brained individual, unafraid to call a spade a spade and uses logic and common sense as dependable qualities with which he leads a happy life.

Therefore when he said ok, I was totally taken aback. Very keen to know how this one is going to turn out, I closed my eyes and tried to keep an open mind. I was expecting either a rational explanation on the benefits of sleeping or a guided visualization which would have me guiding myself out of it after. However I was completely wrong and pleasantly surprised. Not only was he articulate with his choice of words and affirmations but vivid in his descriptions. I was on the silver beaches of the Caribbean that night and it was blissfully tranquil. Sweet dreams are made of these.

Over the years it became a norm and often I’d ask him to talk me off to sleep. Each time, I’d ask; “Where am I today?” eager to go on yet another soul journey. I have travelled far and wide as a result, visited several beautiful locations and known serenity through his eyes. I have felt the cool sand between my toes and have been touched by a soft breeze over a mountain top. I have walked the mesmerizing dessert dunes of Arabia and seen the lush green jungles of Africa.

Haven gotten used to these moments we spent together before bedtime, I looked forward to this quintessential question, every night; “Where am I today?”

Until last night… We got home late. It was well past midnight when we retired to bed. We were tired and I was sensing my husband was in no mood to take me through any visualization imagery. Yet, programmed to ask, rolling over into his outstretched arm, I asked; “Where am I today?”

Pulling me closer he peacefully said; “Right here with me.”

I slept like a baby.

5 ways to master visualizations

Unleashing the power of your subconscious

 

Visualization or visualisation (see spelling differences) is any technique for creating images, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of man. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visualization_(computer_graphics )

In a recent article I had stressed the importance of visualizations in achieving your goals and preferred outcomes. I had quite a few people inquire about its effectiveness and ‘how to do it’ process.

Listed below are five ways on how to practice and master visualizations. Approach it with an open minded willingness to surrender to the process for 10-15 (or more) minutes every day. Supplement this with a positive mind set and attitude.

These examples have been written keeping an ‘ideal relationship/partner’ goal in mind. Replicate the same steps with any well aligned morally viable wish of yours that you would like to manifest in your reality. Be it an ideal job, career, wealth, family, children, etc.

• When visualizing your dreams, involve all your senses

Touch, sound, sight, even smell and taste. What does your partner look like, smell like, sound like, how is it to touch him her/him. Involve your emotions, feel what you feel, hear what you hear and notice what you notice. Visualize wholeheartedly what you want; see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print and begin to build on it.

• Take on different perspectives

See yourself accomplishing your goals beginning with your own 1^st person lens, then 2^nd and 3^rd person, be your partner, be a family member who would be happy for you, be a friend and look upon yourself living your dream.

• Begin to live as if you have succeeded in your goal

Begin to dress, talk, and look like the person you want to be…. Like the one who has found his/er love interest and is truly happy.

• Use self-talk and AFFIRMATIONS together with your visualizations

Talk to yourself, be your own best friend, use hopeful, encouraging language. Avoid self-talk which is negative or derogatory in nature. Such as, ‘I always attract losers’ or ‘why would someone like him/er fall for someone like me’? Instead say that which you would like to hear, about you as if you are already living your perfect relationship.

• Put together a vision board

This can be physical on a cork-board, posted on your desk or wall, or compiled on your computer. Use words that describe the person that you desire to attract, pictures of any couple that represents your ‘happily ever after’. In short invent your Mr/s Right from your power of intention. Get as detailed as possible. Remember, the little details increase the likelihood of the big picture.

As for its effectiveness; I can vouch for it. And so will you if you believe my story (http://tasneemkagalwalla.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-i-attracted-my-ideal-partner-in-3.html ) and/or the limitless power of your subconscious.

Go ahead; I dare you to visualize a world in which your most treasured dreams have become true.
