What is Visualization?
Most people naturally assume visualization to be the formation of
pictures in the mind. One conjures up an image of a beach mansion or a
sports car or a beautiful partner
for a spouse and this indeed would be visualization of, perhaps,
a desired object or person. And on the face of it, they are not
far wrong. After all, most of the everyday objects we see around us,
the beautiful buildings, fancy cars, latest fashions, all began life
as a picture in someone’s mind.
The Emotional Connection
However, the formation of such pictures in the imagination is not
the key to making the Law of Attraction work for anyone engaged in
trying to use it to achieve their goals. If that was the case, then
blind people, particularly those that have never seen the light of day,
would be excluded from taking advantage of this Universal Law to
improve their lives.
True visualization, in the context of the Law off Attraction,
requires an emotional connection to be made with the object of desire. It
is the use of the imagination to conjure up a feeling or change
of emotional state in the individual. Whether through the thought or image
of that dream house, or the smell of that perfume, or the sound of that
piece of music, the visualization should produce an emotion in the person
desiring the object. This is the secret to understanding how to
make the Law of Attraction work for you.
Why Emotion is Important
A basic fact about the Universe is that it is made of energy or
vibrations. In other words,
everything in the Universe is made of vibrations, including
us, humans. Because the Universe is made of vibrations, it also responds
to vibrations and a fact that most people do not realize is that the
Universe is in tune with the vibrations of our emotions, therefore
responds to them. This fact is expressed in the Universal Law of
Attraction, which states: "We attract whatever we choose to give
our attention to - whether wanted or unwanted." Over the years and
centuries, this law has come to be known in various guises such as
the biblical quote "As a man thinks in his heart, so is
he." Proverbs 23:7 and the more colloquial "What goes round
comes round."
Therefore, according to the Law of attraction, whatever emotions
you give out, be they negative or positive, the Universe will respond in kind.
Manifesting Abundance
The reason why our emotional energy is connected with the Universe
is to do with the
sub-conscious mind and to go deeper into this subject would take
us beyond the scope of this article. Suffice to say, whether
you have been trying for some time to use the Law of Attraction, seemingly
without success, or you are just beginning to explore the subject, the key to
your success lies in engaging your emotions when thinking about
whatever you want to achieve in life.
For example, if you want more money, think about how
you are going to feel when you have more money. That will change
your emotional state and the resulting energy change will put out a call
to the Universe for it to respond.
Another important aspect of manifesting whatever we
desire is to use affirmations to reinforce the
emotional energy. The techniques and use of affirmations
is something to be covered another day, suffice to say these also
should be approached in the correct manner to be effective.
Finally, once you get into visualization, you should avoid being
too impatient, expecting results almost immediately. The laws of nature
are so immutable we actually rely on that fact for our daily
existence without even thinking about it. Night turns to day, summer
turns to fall, and the Earth goes round the Sun without fail. We even
trust the reliability of the laws of nature to put men on the moon and
calculate their place of landing with remarkable accuracy.
Once you have made the emotional connection through correct
visualization, rest assured the Universe will answer your call
in its own time.
