THE AMAZING POWER OF THE HUMAN MIND: VISUALISATION

VISUALISATION:

"There is no thought in my mind
but it quickly tends to convert
itself into a power and organizes a
huge instrumentality of means."

- R.W.Emerson

In other words, the mind always finds a way, a solution to your problems. It is the power of imagination at work.

This is a topic that I have already written about quite a bit. In his book John Kehoe covers it very well from his in-depth study of the inner workings of the human mind. I believe he has helped a number of famous sportspeople overcome slumps in their careers through the technique of visualisation. New Zealand's former master batsman, Martin Crowe is one.

"It's all in the mind. I knew it would happen. I could feel and taste the success". I dunno who said that, so let's call them "nonnimoose". Some very successful salespeople run the next day over in their minds when they go to bed the previous evening (or when they wake up in the morning). On the way to their important appointment, they visualise through the "mind's eye" the ideal outcome for them. It's a form of mental rehearsal.

You can use your imagination to see yourself in a situation that hasn't yet happened. Picture yourself getting what you want. For example, picture yourself as being more confident and calm before a public presentation or speech. Haven't been able to do that yet (written with knees shaking at the mere thought of it, so my writing table knocks)!

It's not too difficult to change your mindset. If you can visualize it in the mind, I believe nearly everyone can gain or strengthen the following attributes, their character traits:

CONFIDENCE TALENT COURAGE DETERMINATION PERSISTENCE

* HOW DO WE DO IT?

The process is really the same as in goal-setting (because everything relates to goal setting: success, motivation, dreams, etc.)
Let's now look at the steps involved in getting there...

1. Firstly, decide what it is you want or want to do. Is it promotion, to make lots of money or simply to pass an examination?

2. Relax completely and totally unwind. Let yourself go and let your mind flow, like it's floating on a magic carpet high in the sky. Just let your imagination drift on and be blown by the breezes of life.

3. Spend 10 minutes visualising the reality you want out of life. Imagine living your life as if it's really happening... picture yourself doing what you really want to do. Enjoy the feeling of success deep inside you.

"Tink" positive thoughts - always. Our great mental energy is now working for us. When we focus and think about something intently, our mind works overtime to devise ways and means of achieving our goals - the power of our IMAGINATION. We all know of the times when we can't think of someone's name (or some other problem), when we go to bed; but as soon as we awake in the morning, we immediately have the answer. Our subconscious mind has been working for us while we've been sleeping. Eureka and a great sense of relief!

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought."
- Buddha

Again in the New Testament of the Bible, Jesus said:
‘It is done to you as you believe."

Back to visualisation... Remember AFFIRMATIONS - those precise positive statements of intent, affirming or strengthening your beliefs. Say them at least once a day - repetition has the power to engrave them in your mind and so make them real. Practice imprints the picture on the mind and practice makes perfect. Do it for five minutes daily, for weeks or months - as long as you need to. These new thoughts will eventually "take possession in the mind" and they will become your reality. You are not day-dreaming; just trust the process and have FAITH in the process.

Any thought put into your mind and nourished regularly will produce some change through positive results in your life.

NB: Always have a positive outcome of your goal. Opportunities open up when you open up your thoughts and situations will usually lead you toward your goals.

To YOUR success, health, prosperity and happiness

Live, love and be happy.
