Creative Visualization: Imagining Your Success

Originating from an eastern philosophy dating centuries ago, creative visualization has gradually emerged as a life-changing practice guaranteed by many to boost self-esteem, self-acceptance and their overall outlook in life. 
 
What is creative visualization you may ask?

Simply said, it’s a form of imagery that makes use of positive thinking to enable a person to believe and affirm that life is indeed “positive”. Everything in the universe was created to support a person in achieving his or her higher purpose in life. It stems from the belief that the mind has the power to transform any concentrated thought you focus on into reality. What you focus on expands and the more you pour energy to it, the greater it becomes. Even NLP uses the same technique in programming the mind.

One of the fact about your mind is it could only think in the form of images. It doesn’t matter whether you are imagining or remembering; your mind will always pull out some kind of images and lay them on its mental whiteboard. This is just how the mind works. You can try it out by thinking of an apple.

What did you see? You saw an apple in your mind, didn’t you?
 
Imagining your success is like a “Barney episode”, it urges you to look into your childlike self once more and imagine the great things you can accomplish, the greater version of yourself through the magic of your imagination. There’s nothing impossible when you are a childlike because back then you are not constrained to any limiting belief and programming. All you know is just “possible” and …..[Click here to read more]

Creative Visualization: Harnessing the Power of Your Subconscious

Wouldn’t it be nice if you have a genie at your disposal?  You know, that gigantic magical creature appearing from the opaque smoke of Aladdin’s lamp who can grant three out of this world wishes?  Oh, how you’d love to give up a limb to purchase such an impressive product, right? 

Fame, fortune, good health, loving relationships…all these would then be yours for the taking.  It’s like staring at a catalogue of the universe and pointing out the ones you want to be delivered at your doorstep.
          
Are those things are merely wishful thinking? 
           
Well, not exactly only if you know the right way to harness the power of your subconscious mind. Here, you are just not wishing, you are indeed commanding the universe to bring you what you want. There is actually a secret kept hidden from men that can allow the realization of their deepest desires and aspirations and the secret is “creative visualization”. Yes, this is indeed the message that was trying to convey by the famous “The Secret” of Rhonda Bynre.  What you think about becomes your reality.
          
Basically, creative visualization harnesses the power of your subconscious mind by converting your abstract thoughts (ideas) into concrete reality.  It is founded on the premise that whatever …..[Click here to read more]

Mental Images: Your Life Blueprint

Modern Science, more specifically quantum physics has now proven that our thoughts have significant influence towards our surroundings. Thoughts are not just thoughts; they are a kind of energy that emitted from the brain and when it is used to observe a certain object, it already changes the object somehow. Even scientists now believe that every experiment that they perform in the lab is not independent from the observer.

Life is actually the expression of the mind or to be more accurate the projection of the mental picture. To express or to project is to cast, to cause, to evoke and to state. The external world serves as the balancing to the internal world which located in your mind. What you have in your mind, you have it outside you. You can’t have one thing in your mind and other thing outside you, that’s just can’t be.

This is quite simple. Whenever you observe something, your brain will process the input which comes through your eyes and leave an imprint on your brain. This imprint is actually the output or processed data of what you are seeing outside, so that you will know a cat is a cat.

On the other hand, when you are doing imagination or visualization, yet the same imprint is created at the same part of your brain, similar to the way when you are observing the external world. Both the mental images have no differences; they are the same kind of information that laid out by the brain. The question is what makes you think that the world is outside you? Both cases suggest that the world happens to be inside you! In your head to be specifically!

Here comes the interesting part. If the thing that we observe outside us can leave an …..[Click here to read more]

Seven Traits of the Subconscious

Here I would list out seven traits of the subconscious so that you can have a better understanding of what and how the subconscious works. Besides knowing this can make you utilize the amazing power of the subconscious. You might have already known some of them as they were once mentioned in lesson 101.

 

  1. It works day and night. Part of the functions of the subconscious is to maintain life’s vitality and hence, it could never retire or else you will retire forever. It keeps the heart pumping, monitoring blood circulating, performing body healing, digestion mechanism, and lots more. The subconscious even becomes more powerful when you are asleep. That’s why it is not advisable to let the TV on when you are asleep. Imagine what will you get when the TV is showing violence.  
     
  2. Problem Solving. Subconscious might not possess the ability to think and reason but inevitably, it solves much problem than the conscious mind. This is due to its ability to connect with the super conscious mind to search for solution. Believe me, there is at least a solution for every problem and you might not know where to look for but your subconscious mind does. Napoleon Hill called it as the ‘connecting link’ between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence (this term was made popular by Mr. Hill).
     
  3. It functions voluntarily.  It doesn’t matter whether you make any effort to influence the subconscious or not because it is always open for suggestion. Its receptive mode is always ON and the only thing that makes the difference is either you do the influencing or let’s other people or thing to do it. By default, the psychology or mindset of the masses is always toward the negative and this suggests to you that the thoughts of fear and poverty serve as the stimuli to your subconscious. The only way to shield yourself from this negativity is to constantly feed yourself with positive thoughts and energy.  …..[Click here to read more]

How The Subconscious Works

How does the subconscious work? Well, we can illustrate the cumulative power of subconscious as follow:

Suppose you take a tub of water and begin to stir it with a small piece of wood from right to left, with a circular motion.

 

  • At first, you will start only a ripple around the wood, but if you keep the wood in motion with the circular movement, the water will gradually accumulate the strength which you are putting into the wood, and presently you will have the whole tub of water in a whirl.  TV is showing violence.  
     
  • If you were then to drop the piece of wood, the water would carry along the instrument that originally set it in motion, and if you were suddenly to stop the wood while it is still projecting in the water, there would be a strong tendency to not only carry the wood forward, but to take your hand along with it. TV is showing violence.  
     
  • Now, suppose that after you have the water whirling, you decide that you do not want it to whirl, or think that you would prefer to have it whirl in the other direction, and so try to set it going the other way, you will find that there is great resistance, and you will find that it will take a long while to bring the water to a standstill, and a still longer time before you get it going the other way.

 

As mentioned in my previous post, the subconscious does not differentiate or judge. Whatever that the conscious continues to entertain will get stocked up and transformed into habit (this is precisely illustrated as above). Whatever your conscious mind does repeatedly or consistently, will be passed on to the subconscious, which after sometimes, a habit is formed. That’s why you will find that you can hardly …..[Click here to read more]

Solving Problems with Your Subconscious

If you want to harness the power of your subconscious, it is very essential that you know when and how to awaken this giant within you. This article deals with the basic step that you need to know how to work with your subconscious.

One thing that you really need to know and remember is that the subconscious is always with you all the time. It takes no rest as it does not require so. The subconscious is similar to the 7-Eleven convenient store which operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, due to the inability of the subconscious to judge and process information, it could only become active when the conscious retires or at least at the resting state. At such a state, it gives way for the subconscious to emerge and do its jobs.

Resting state can be defined as the time when the conscious mind does not involved in strong mental thinking process or when it is engaged in abeyance, or in such a state where it is pleasantly occupied. If the conscious mind is still focusing or engaging with the problem, it just literally means that the mind is still doing the processing task and as a great servant, the subconscious will not interfere. It will wait patiently until the conscious mind has done its job. And when the job is handed over to it, it would naturally and automatically emerges and looks for the answer.

So, if you need a solution to your problem, all you need to do is to impress your subcoscious of what your problem is and tell it that you are looking for the best solution. Make sure that you tell it as precisely as you could because it makes no judgement and wrong input will result in wrong output. Tell the subconscious also that you would let it to decide for you and that you would trust it 100 percent, no doubt. After you have done this, engage yourself with pleasant activity such as listening to ‘light and soothing music’ (no ‘heavy metal’ please), watching the TV (again only ‘light program’), playing cards, walking around the garden or playing with your dog. If you want to be in the silence, shut off your eyes and keeps everybody out. Meditation is the best way to keep everything out from your mind.

For your information, the subconscious mind, which is also known as the …..[Click here to read more]

Unleashing Mind Power

In lesson 101, we have been generally introduced to both the workings of conscious and subconscious. Now, it’s time to revisit the conscious mind. If you have gone through self-development books and audio programs, you would definitely find out that most of them have placed a lot of emphasize on the subconscious mind. Even bestsellers like “The Power of Your Subconscious Mind” by Dr Joseph Murphy and “The Subconscious Mind: A Source of Unlimited Power” by Erhard F. Freitag stresses a lot on this unlimited power that you possess within.  The question is, “It is the only power that you really need or It is the only mind that you need to pay attention to?”

Well, it’s a definite No.

While the subconscious might be great in terms of achieving what you want, it is however useless if one does not know how to employ it. This hidden power is always there whether you use it consciously or not because it is your responsibility to channel it for your own benefits. So the key word here is ‘conscious’ since without the interference from the conscious mind, the subconscious could never achieve anything. If you still can recall from lesson 101, the subconscious is a mind that could never think and reason. Its job is not to process but to execute and thus, it depends entirely to the conscious mind for information that it can acts upon on.

The subconscious is very similar to the genie that stays inside the Aladdin’s Lamp. In this case you are Aladdin and the genie is the subconscious. You commands and wishes is the information that the genie need before it can work on it. They serve as the direction for the genie aka your subconscious to precisely bring you want you want. Say if you want a healthy lifestyle, you have to communicate it clearly so that your genie knows what you want to achieve. The subconscious is the mind that works under the radar; it does not need your conscious interference once it received your message. All you need to do is just let it performs what you want from it.

Your true mental power lies in …..[Click here to read more]
