Visualization puts your intention of what you want to work. The more specific the intention, the more specific the results. Remember whatever you believe is what your body will do. So when you are thinking of your intention make sure it is:
- Clear
- Specific
- Achievable
- You feel, know and trust it is being accomplished
Trying to do visualization without taking responsibility will prove to be futile experience. To accomplish what you want you must take action and responsibility. Visualization usually takes about 6 weeks to work. It is done once in the morning and before bedtime. Some people do see or feel results the very first time but remember everyoneís body and mind are different and so is the way they process information so have patience. Responsibility is:
- Be accountable to and for yourself
- Make a commitment
- Do visualization regularly
- Be persistent and patient
- Keep positive
A relaxed state puts allows you direct access to your subconscious mind. Here are some steps to help you relax:
- Find a quiet place. Relax in a favorite chair or lie down.
- Get comfortable and loosen clothing
- Uncross your arms and legs
- Get centered by focusing on the breath and breathing (this activates the vagus nerve which is the major quieting nerve in the body)
- Totally relax your body and mind
Visualization for healing is a simple process. Once you are relaxed the next step is to actualize your visualiztion.
- Think of or speak your intention out loud.
