VISUALIZE TO MANIFEST

Visualize to Manifest
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Debbie_Simon]Debbie Simon

Visualization and guided imagery are very powerful tools that can change the patterns we're stuck in.

Visualizations use metaphors that translate into what we're trying to create. For instance, if you're feeling isolated and disconnected from the people you're close with you can imagine a simple metaphor like hundreds of strings coming out of the center of your chest (this is the heart center). The strings then attach you to the people that you are feeling distant from. You can even imagine those strings reaching toward people you don't know yet but would like to meet. The picture of you being connected to others by these strings is a metaphor. You might be surprised at how fast an image like this will work in your outer life. You can find a metaphor that works for you around a particular topic and then practice it often. When it starts to manifest you can try a different one or keep using it. When the images or scenarios that you imagine start to take on a life of their own, let them flow in the direction they're going in. These images are trying to show you something. Allow yourself to be led. If you don't like where it's going then stop it and recreate a different image. Notice what you feel when you do these visualizations.

Guided imagery usually involves a 3rd party. A trained professional talks the client through a scene or a story that has a series of steps. The purpose is to help the client heal around a particular issue or to decrease anxiety. Some clients don't want to be guided too much. If there is too much detail their own creative ability doesn't have a chance to express itself. The inner guidance that needs to come through has no room if the practitioner keeps talking and giving minute details. The practitioners needs only to lay the groundwork and then the participant will fill in the details.

We are connected by energy to others and to experiences. We can live on a separate continent from a person and still be connected. We can be estranged from or divorced from a person and still be very much connected inwardly. Distance knows no boundaries. Visualizations make us more aware of the connection that already exists.

Think of your own metaphors for what you're trying to create and put them into practice.
