Empowerment: A Simple Visualisation
By Anna Martin Published: 15/12/2009
Using a simple visualisation technique, on a regular basis, can not only help you become more relaxed and focused but can also encourage you to eliminate negative thinking so that you can create a positive outcome.
Chill out time is important to all of us. It's what allows us to relax and recharge our batteries, and it provides us with the free space to indulge in activity that leaves us feeling invigorated. This may require us to spend quality time indulging in an interest or exploring a new pastime, or it may happen naturally in a simpler setting. However, the moment you settle back into the familiar routine of work and family life every ounce of that positive thinking, you magically acquired during 'me' time, vanishes almost instantly. Those big, exciting plans you made now become pipe dreams. At this point you may sigh despondently and embark on another round of chores. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Using simple visualisation techniques can empower you to achieve your heart’s desire, regardless of the restrictions and constraints of everyday life. Those powerful images you nurtured, whilst in relaxed 'me time' mode, can be resurrected and brought to life. All you have to do is picture what you want. The more you do this the more chance you have of making your dreams a reality.
So, take a moment to make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Quieten your mind and be still for 5 minutes. With practice you may wish to increase this to 15 minutes or more. Use this time to create, and enhance, a vision of the life you want to lead. Picture yourself doing the things you long to do. See it in your mind’s eye, breathe it in and live it. Feel your senses awakening, and notice your surroundings, the clothes you are wearing, the sounds and smells around you. Feel the external sensations of this experience on your skin and allow this to recharge your desires. Acknowledge the movement of time in your visualisation. Experience it like a waking dream.
Practising this simple technique daily will remove the doubts of negative thinking and replace them with positive images that will help you stay focused on the life you want to create. If you can imagine it, you can live it. Now, isn’t that an inspiring thought?
