“See the things you want as if they were actually around you all the time; see yourself as owning and using them. Make use of them in imagination just as you will use them when they are your tangible possessions.”
In the book, “Getting rich” by Wallace D. Wattles talks about visualization if you want to be rich.
The book states that, “Wealth Springs From Thought: Want It And Visualize It With Clarity “
You’ve likely heard about the power of visualization, perhaps in learning about athletes who visualize the successful outcome of their competitions, public speakers who visualize a standing ovation for their presentations, or parents who visualize a bright future for their children.
The author reinforces this idea of the extraordinary effect that visualization can have on your ability to create wealth.
Wallace tells us that “All the forms that man fashions with his hands must first exist in his thought; he cannot shape a thing until he has thought that thing.” He emphasizes that “Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.” In other words, as we learn in the Lifebook process, “thoughts become things.”
The author further clarifies that you must be very specific with your thoughts and goals, and also that if you have doubts, you must be diligent about casting those aside. Focus on abundance, rather than on scarcity in your thoughts. This is an absolute key to your success.
Certainly, if you cannot see with clarity what you want to accomplish in your financial life, it will be very challenging to reach your goals. You can’t hit a target when you don’t know what it is.
So do you have a clear vision for your financial success? Can you imagine what that level of abundance would look like, as if you already had it, and were living it every day? If you do, good for you — you’re well on your way.
If not, schedule a time you will decide on what you want, give some time to refine your Vision until you have crystal clarity. This is the very first step towards reaching all that you want to achieve.
The power of visualization works hand in hand with the law of attraction. The idea is to visualize an image in your head, consistently visualizing this image, it will be attracted to you.
This power of visualization may also work against you, if you think and visualize the opposite, the negative. Whenever you focus on what might go wrong, things will go wrong.
In fact, you visualize when you worry. We’re all pretty good at that one, aren’t we? You can take that mental ability to visualize the worst case scenario and transform it into a powerful manifesting tool.
So, how do you visualize?
Mindvalley gave us a step by step guide on how to visualize, here they are:
Steps on How to Visualize and Manifesting the Life you Want:
1. Be in love with what you want
You won’t get positive results if you’re not really excited about what you desire. Your emotions are the driving force behind your visualization! Don’t be ho-hum about it. Give your goals, your passion. But… don’t become too attached to the outcome because something even better might manifest, in unexpected ways!
2. Visualize often, for short intense bursts
If you can hold your image for as little as half a minute, you are creating a powerful attraction. (Longer than that is really difficult unless you’re an experienced meditator who is able to shut down the mental chatter). Visualize often and gradually build up to longer, more detailed visualizations.
3. Make your image as detailed as possible
Being too vague is going to give you vague results. It’s okay to be specific with what you want!
4. Believe
This is essential. Don’t put pressure on yourself to believe, especially if it’s a huge dream that has you overwhelmed. Just take the attitude of play, like a little kid. Kids believe 100% in the monsters under the bed. They also believe 100% that they are princesses or pirates.
Have fun with it, and while you’re in that mental movie, immerse yourself in it and believe in it. When you’re not visualizing, and you’ve got any doubts whatsoever, FORGET about thinking of your dream. Let it sink in via your imagination first.
5. Reinforce your images with Tapping and Affirmations
This opens you up to accepting the images in your subconscious mind, where the real “magic” of manifestation occurs as your mind receives a command to seek out what you imagine.
The rule is simple: whatever you can conceive, you can achieve. Follow the steps above, and you’ll come up with and attract amazing ways to make your dreams happen.
Visualization is even biblical.
Habakkuk 2:2-3
Then the Lord answered me and said, Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.
Visualizing Your Success,
