You become what you think about most. But you also attract what you think about most - John Assaraf

Visualization is the wonderful process of imagining vivid pictures or the act of visualizing any scenario in our minds eye. We do it every day and almost every time, even during our sleep when we are submerged in the ocean of dreams. However, there are people who claim that their brains are so dumb that they dont see anything in their imaginations. Although if we ask them to recall anything exciting or hilarious that happened years before, they would even be able to draw a good picture of the scene on paper. So, we can just call it mental laziness of not putting enough effort to imagine anything while reading, listening or thinking.

On the other hand, there are people, living on this planet, alongside the self-claimed dumb minds, who have turned the tables over and over again, going from rags to riches, from being zeroes to heroes, from being mediocre to champions, only through the process of creative visualization.

The ultimate power of Creative visualization

It is a miraculous technique in which we can use our imagination to create and visualize the scenarios in our minds eye. We can create the mental picture of anything we want and then keep focussing on this scenario or image for periods of time on a daily basis. The main idea behind creative visualization is that when we change our thoughts and perceptions which are holding us back, we can change our current status of life. We can improvise ourselves to bring our desires to us more quickly.

The magic wand of the subconscious mind

The process of creative visualization activates the creative powers of our subconscious mind. Our mind has been bestowed with a power which lets us transmute our desires into their physical equivalents. You might have observed the kick that you get when you are extremely hungry and someone describes the taste and experience of eating some new variety of pizza in market or some dish which has been your favourite delicacy. Your mouth starts watering with just the visuals of you eating this dish. You cant help yourself picking up the phone and calling the pizza delivery shop or getting up and going to the restaurant to fulfil your appetite with the same dish you just visualized. Your fire of hunger would have been extinguished with even a stale loaf of bread sitting just next to you, but what made that bread piece envy your favourite dish was not your food favouritism, but the strong mental imagery of you eating the dish, that activated your subconscious mind. This in turn drove the wheels of your physical body to get off your butt, take action and create what you desired. Same thing happens when we use the creative visualization for our goals.

Programming the reticular activating system (RAS)

The creative visualization programmes our brains reticular activating system (RAS) in order to make it capable of noticing the previously unnoticed available resources that were always there. The day you make up your mind to shop for clothes in the evening, you might have observed that at least once on that day, you kept noticing how other people look in the type of garments you want to buy. You never did the same thing any other day, did you?

The successful people do the same thing for achieving their desires and ambitions. When they activate their mind through creative visualization of what they want, they now become capable of noticing the opportunities that used to be there all the time but just were not noticeable.

The law of attraction

Creative visualization magnetizes to us the people, the opportunities and the resources that we need to achieve our goals. It works through the famous law of attraction according to which we attract into our lives those things and situations which we keep constantly thinking and imagining about, using our deepest emotions.
