Creative Visualization - The Key To The Law Of Attraction?

Creative visualization has been long heralded as one of the major keys to the successful application of the law of attraction, but many people don't know how to do it well, or even believe that they can do it at all.

Moreover, the question that many people would want answered before even making a serious attempt at creative visualization is: does it work at all?

Let's endeavour to answer all of these - albeit in a brief article!

I'll leave the issue of doing creative visualization "well" until the end because, of course, that's a subjective judgment. The more important issue at this stage is whether you can do it at all. I've heard so many people say that they cannot visualise. I'm always struck by the slight irony of this, because in order to make such a statement the person has to imagine, (that is picture themselves), not visualizing! However, that is not to make light of the complaint because anyone saying such a thing genuinely feels that to be their truth.

The problem, I believe, is that there is a tendency to feel that there is a "proper" way to do creative visualization -as if there was some test to pass, or that it's a kind of secret known only to a cult type brotherhood. Nothing, I'm delighted to tell you, could be further from the truth!

The reality is, visualization is so everyday an occurrence that we don't even notice ourselves doing it. You couldn't even make a cup of coffee without imagining the steps involved in heating the water, adding the coffee grounds to the cup and so on. Not only that, but you wouldn't want the coffee in the first place unless you could imagine the taste and the feeling that seems, in that very moment, would be satisfied only by a cup of coffee! If thirst was the only problem, a glass of water would do much better!

Not everyone makes pictures in their mind - at least not as a first resort. Some more kinaesthetic types access a feeling state first which leads them to picturing the scene, for example. In addition, people who believe they can't visualize seem to believe that their "picturing" ability should be as vivid as something they see with their eyes open, or at least as powerful as a vivid dream.

Surprisingly, it isn't the Technicolor quality of the images in your mind that hold the power of creative visualization anyway - it's the feeling!

If you can feel that you're engaged in something you imagine, you're doing creative visualization. Emotions are our most primitive and also our most reliable inner guidance system. Emotions change our biochemistry and the vibration of our energy - which are the activating forces of the law of attraction! Making pictures in your mind is only one step in that process, and isn't necessarily required in any case! (How would a blind person employ creative visualization if that were the case?)

Let's take a look now at whether the process of creative visualization works at all. Quantum physics and metaphysics are now beginning to agree that it does - but as we've just established, the determining factor is the emotion accompanying the image. You can imagine a pink zebra, but I doubt if one is going to show up in your life! Constantly imagine yourself abundant and prosperous however - and do it with feeling - and you can be pretty certain that your bank balance is going to start reflecting that inner truth.

Personally, these days I am in no doubt that your world is created from the inside out, so as a quick demonstration ask yourself this question: If there was a dog with you right now - a special dog with the power of speech - how would he describe the room you're in? Wouldn't he tell you about all the incredible smells first? And if you asked him what he thought of the colour of the wallpaper, he'd look at you rather quizzically because to him the wallpaper is just another shade of grey. Dogs don't see colour.

Do we assume that we have the monopoly on "actual" reality? The dog has it wrong, because we know there aren't "really" smells and the wallpaper "really" has colours in it?

Imagine what the same room looks like to a fly!

You have human sense organs that interpret energy vibrations in a specific way, that's all! Your nose is very limited compared to your dog's, whilst your eyesight is pretty good, although some birds and bees, (who can see ultra violet), would think your vision a tad pathetic!

Finally, then, we must look at the issue of whether you are someone who can do creative visualization well. The answer to that has precious little to do with how masterful you are at making pictures in your mind.

The law of attraction works by like energies vibrating in sympathy. Your ability to believe in the existence of such a manifestation process, and also in yourself are the keys that actually determine whether or not what you are visualizing shows up. If that wasn't the case, there might be a lot of pink zebras running around!

Ultimately, then, the question is not how good you are at creative visualization, but whether you can believe in yourself and your worthiness to receive what you desire.

Once you know what you want, feeling it to be yours already is the most creative your visualization needs to get.
