I love creative visualization and how it has the potential to shape my reality. While traditionally this might mean visualizing or seeing something in your mind’s eye, I believe visualization can happen on a more sensual level, which ultimately makes it creative. We can creatively visualize using all of our senses–seeing, hearing, tasting, feeling, touching and even intuiting–to attain a desired outcome.
What might this look like? You dream of taking a trip somewhere…perhaps the tropical south, an exotic sandy oasis bathed in sunshine. You close your eyes and see yourself there, hearing the sounds of it, smelling the smells and tasting the salt of the sea, touching the textures, feeling at peace in this environment, and intuiting what that means for you.
This simple act can create our reality. The mind is a powerful vehicle. According to W. Clement Stone, “Whatever the mind…can conceive or believe, it can achieve.”
Now you try it: think of something you’d like to do, be, or have. What does that look like when you close your eyes and imagine your goal and its result, using all of your senses?
