Vision is the art of seeing things invisible to others.

Jonathan Swift

What’s the best method to use when concentrating on your new images?

It’s been proven that your mind is most receptive to visualization when you’re calm and not thinking about a lot of things simultaneously. So, sit down in a comfortable chair at home, close your eyes and do some deep breathing exercises to clear your mind and relax your body.

Now, develop images that involve as many senses as you can. The more sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches you put in your pictures, the more powerful the “pull” for you to make your vision a reality.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you’ve always dreamed of owning a beach-front house in the Caribbean. Picture the white and peach-colored house. See the green palm trees slowly swaying in the gentle breeze. Smell the salt air. Feel the warm sand between your toes. Feel the sunshine on your face.

Isn’t this paradise? And all this can be yours if you hold onto this image and do what it takes to achieve it! Also, remember that those images associated with strong emotions have even more power, so be sure to add positive feelings to your vision. For instance, when visualizing your ideal job, combine the vivid mental picture and the physical senses with the terrific emotions of pride and satisfaction you’ll have working in that new position.

Finally, don’t be concerned with the quality of your images at the outset. Some people can create lively color pictures while others have trouble getting anything more than a fuzzy image. It’s also possible you may only be able to get a particular feeling at the beginning as opposed to a clear image.

In any case, don’t worry about it. Do the best you can and don’t compare you to anyone else. Your images will become sharper over time. The key is to spend several minutes each day running these new movies in your mind.
