As John Assaraf proved in "The Secret," vision boards are a great tool to help you manifest what you want. Vision Boards, also called treasure maps, assist you in adjusting your belief system. You can move up your emotional ladder more easily, past self-limiting barriers, to reach your goals and create the life you desire. The truth is that we're more accustomed to visualizing negative things – like car accidents or the death of someone we love. Why not take some of that energy and start to use it to visualize what you DO want instead of what you DON'T want!
According to a recent article by Ralph Michaels, "vision is the most primal, and dominant of the human senses. It even shows up in mythology and spiritualism; you never hear of a mystic trying to open his inner ear, but tales of opening your inner eye to receive enlightenment abound. As such, vision plays a great role not only in how we perceive the world, but how we shape it.
"Think for a moment about making first impressions, or when you're first exposed to someone, or something new. You gather more information than you can consciously process, and put that person, or that new concept into your mental framework of how the world works. This works on a deeply subconscious level; this is why when you see something out of the corner of your eye in the dark, you're likely to jump – that's your subconscious saying "That shadow might have a predator, be prepared to threaten it or run away." The basic fight or flight instinct, as it were.
"However, how you see the world determines how you shape it to your will, as well. The Law of Attraction says the things you focus on are the things that you bring into your life, the things you pull to your circumstances via the Law of Attraction. And because the eyes are the centerpiece of how you focus on the world, they remain one of the fundamental ways to make the Law of Attraction work for you, and the way to use your eyes is to make a vision board."
There are all kinds of vision boards – even ones to use as screensavers! Special software, called Vision Board, is a powerful application for your computer that enables you to take the Teachings of Abraham and the Law of Attraction and apply them in your daily life. It helps you to visualize your goals and dreams in a unique and dynamic way on your computer screen, using your personal dream images. You can even combine these images with self-chosen affirmations and emotional power words.
Of course, making your own vision board the "old-fashioned" way is fun and easy. Just cut out pictures of things you want from magazines, newspapers or websites. Then paste them on a piece of poster board. Spend time looking at it everyday, enjoying the feeling of knowing that what you are wanting is in the process of making its way to you! By focusing on your Vision Board every day, you will attract your goals into your reality.
We have three Vision Boards at our house – one for career, one for a new home and one for travel. We add new things to them whenever we find pictures we like. Of course, we could have put all of the pictures on the same board, but we thought it would be fun to keep them subject specific. The best part of vision boarding is that are no rules. Start anywhere, snip anything and let your imagination guide you to remarkable places!
I've found the coolest and most effective tool to help with the visualization process - a great vision board software called Mind Movies Creator.
It was created by Ryan Higgins to help others visualize and manifest the life of their dreams. See a video and find out why here http://www.squidoo.com/vision-board-software
A Mind Movie allows you to create a vision of what you want, together with your Favorite song… the one that makes you feel good, the one that makes you want to dance, the one that makes you smile and sing along.
It’s like a 3 minute slide show/movie of your perfect life.
I’m trying it out now.
I’m having fun making my own vision board/mind movie.
And because it’s a software, no need to cut up magazines!
Thanks.
