Law of Attraction – Prosperity Fundamentals #3
By Sonia Miller | September 17, 2008
Visualization is one of the most powerful manifestation tools there are, IF you do it correctly. However, there are some common distortions that make visualization ineffective. These misunderstandings include the following:
1) The Mental vs. Emotional Mistake – Visualization is a mental exercise. It’s all about seeing what you want in your mind’s eye. Correction – Visualization is much more about the emotional energy you tap into. By "pretending" to feel the way you’d feel in your dream fulfilled, you magnetize and bring life to your dream.
2) The Attraction vs. Allowing Mistake – The idea that your dream is "out there," separate from you, and that you must attract it to you is the reason many seekers approach their dreams from a chasing or grasping point of you. Visualizing from feeling of separation only serves to keep your dreams separate from you. Correction – When you visualize about dream as if you are already one with it, as if it already exists, then you allow your desire into your experience.
3) The Asking vs. Becoming Mistake – We visualize our intention as a way of continuing to ask the Universe for it until it arrives. Correction – Once you ask, it is immediately given in energetic form. You may not see it, but it already exists. This is crucial to understand. The only reason you aren’t experiencing it yet in your physical reality is because you are still expanding into the new experience. Your reason for visualizing is not to keep asking, but to keep practicing being what we have already become. This allows your physical experience and your energetic manifestation to join as one.
4) The Having vs. Being Mistake – We often visualize what we want to have. We approach our dreams as if they are something to capture or accumulate. Why would you have to capture something that you already have? This hoarding mentality is based in scarcity thinking. Scarcity breeds more scarcity. Correction – We do indeed already have everything that we could ever desire. It isn’t even something we have. It is who we are. We are individualized expressions of the Infinite, which is just that – infinite (i.e. all sufficiency of supply, wholeness, love, abundance, well-being…) All that we desire actually flows from us. It does not come from outside of us to fill a void. When we visualize the infinite flow of abundance that we are, then we allow that experience into our lives.
Visualizing Oneness with Infinite Flow
Since our minds can be our greatest enemies – defaulting to a mind-set of wanting and grasping – the most effective visualizations are those that have us tap into an experience of oneness and flow. However, if we are already feeling separate from that which we desire, it can be very difficult to connect with what oneness and flow would look or feel like. As an antidote consider the qualities and characteristics of a beautiful, large fountain; allowing the imagery to become a metaphor for your true nature as an individualized expression of Source Energy.
The Fountain Visualization
Imagine a beautiful fountain gushing crystal clear water high into the air. There is so much water flowing through the fountain that there is always more than enough. The overflow is caught in an enormous basin. This abundance of water is life giving. It brings joy to others. Birds drink from
it, children play in it, teens rendezvous there, couples kiss by it, elders rest near it. People are inspired to dream and wish, making offering of flowers and coins. It is a gathering place.
IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE THAT FOUNTAIN
- The water represents Universal Life Force, the divine substance of all that is: love, well-being, joy, freedom, peace, money, creativity. (i.e. This Universal Life Force flows from and through you.)
- The water is eternally flowing – forever. It comes from within. The supply is endless. There is more than enough. (i.e. Abundant supply comes from within YOU.)
- The fountain gives to others. It blesses others and the blessings come back multiplied – as a place where others connect and belong, and as a receptacle of others’ abundance of money, love and joy. All that the fountain receives allows it to become an even more beautiful, generous, abundant fountain. (i.e. YOU give your abundance to others. As you give freely, all that you give comes back to you multiplied.)
- The basin represents overflowing abundance- more than you could ever need. Surplus. (i.e. When you do not try to capture or hoard abundance, you always have more than you need. You enjoy extra reserves of energy, money, time, and support. These reserves are for you to play with, to give, and draw to you even more abundance.)
- Sometimes the water evaporates and there is less in the basin. Sometimes it rains and the basin overflows. Yet no matter what, the water flows eternally. (i.e. Sometimes you get tired and your energy depletes. Sometimes your savings account is utilized and your funds diminish, but if you trust in the natural flow, you know that your nature is abundance and you will always naturally return to that experience.)
Using the Fountain Visualization
The Fountain Visualization can be used in two ways: a) as a contemplation tool, and b) as a manifestation tool.
As a contemplation tool, allow yourself to simply read over it, think about it, and sit with it. Letting the ideas of oneness and flow seep into your awareness. As you digest the ideas inherent in this imagery, you will begin to see yourself and your life in expanded ways.
As a manifestation tool, practice visualizing yourself as this fountain at least once per day. Experiment with seeing it and feeling it. Have fun with it. There is no right or wrong way of doing the visualization. Simply putting your attention on the ideas will magnetize to you the understanding and the experience of oneness and flow which you seek. Eventually the visualization could evolve into a simple yet potent affirmation, "I am an opulent, eternally flowing fountain of divine substance!"
Try it for 40 days, everyday and see what happens!
Choose Your Reality! tm
