Visualization: How to Visualize Your Perfect Life and Business

So what is “visualization” and why should you care?

A classic visualization technique is to relax into a calm state, and then consciously imagine sights, sounds or experiences. Visualization taps into your imagination and the power of your creative mind and soul. 

Athletes often use visualization to amplify the power of their training regime. Many entrepreneurs I know use visualization as one of their manifesting or Law of Attraction tools. 

In a guided visualization, someone’s voice “guides” you as you move into a relaxed state, and then suggests what sights, sounds or experiences to imagine.

Why you should care is that visualizations in general, and guided visualizations specifically, are proven to greatly increase your ability to magnetize what you want into your life.

Three reasons guided visualizations are so powerful  

Guided visualizations are a powerful tool to help you magnetize absolutely anything, in three ways:

• Visualizing raises your body’s vibration so that the energy “frequency” of your body synchronizes with that which you wish to magnetize.

You know that everything – physical objects, emotions, ideas - everything is made up of energy in different forms. All forms of energy have a certain frequency or vibration. Objects, emotions or ideas vibrating at a similar frequency resonate with one another, and are attracted to one another.

Here’s how visualizing builds on that. When you visualize or imagine being in a certain situation, your body does not make a distinction between the “imagined” reality and physical reality.

For example, when you watch a thriller suspense movie, your heart rate increases, your pupils get bigger, your muscles tense and your breathing changes – even though you know the movie is just an illusion!

Similarly, when you imagine already being in a situation that you wish to magnetize, your body does not make a distinction between what you imagine and your physical situation. Your breathing, muscles, heart beat and so on resonate with what you are imagining – thus putting you into the vibration of that which you wish to magnetize. 

• Visualizations literally change the frequency of your brain waves, from beta waves which are busy and sometimes scattered, to alpha and theta waves which are more relaxed, calm and open to universal wisdom and guidance. Expect to receive inspiration and ideas during visualizations, and in the hours or days afterwards.

• A guided visualization is a gift to your busy mind. I know I’m not the only one who has a chattery mind. It’s easy for my active and creative mind to flit to what’s for dinner or an item on my to-do list, rather than stay calm and focused on what I want to visualize. Having an external voice to guide your visualization gives your busy mind something specific and positive to focus on. Instead of creating distractions, your mind becomes your friend, ally and supporter to help you magnetize.

Be playful.  Have fun.  Enjoy.  

Visualizations are powerful, but that doesn’t mean they have to be serious. A spirit of playfulness is a big asset to enhance the power of visualizations. Playfulness is an aspect of joy, which is high-vibration energy. If you are desperately trying to concentrate or focus, that sense of struggle will lower your vibration, and you will not be in the same frequency as the joyful experiences you wish to magnetize. If you are having fun, your body, mind, emotions and spirit react accordingly, with a high magnetic vibration. Relax and enjoy!

Your Coaching Challenge

Pick one thing you’d like to experience in your life or business. For five minutes a day, imagine that you are having that experience. Enjoy and be playful with how it will look, sound, feel, smell and taste when it is in physical form in your life. Imagine how joyful you are in that experience.

When you “return” from the visualization, pause for a few moments and ask if there is any action you could take to move your physical reality closer to what you imagined. Then follow up with the action.

Going Global

Pick a simple ordinary situation that involves more than one person – driving in heavy traffic, buying groceries, waiting in an airport lounge…

 Pick a belief or understanding that would serve the planet well. (One I like to play with is to imagine that everyone on the planet – especially me! — understands that we are all connected, what one person experiences affects all of us, and that it is in our self-interest that everyone is treated with respect and courtesy.)

Then imagine what the ordinary situation would be like if everyone had that understanding. Have fun imagining that several times a day as you move to different settings.
