5 Part Mini Course on Visualization

5 Part Mini Course on Visualization - Lesson #1

The biggest blocker to achieve your goals and earn more money has to do with unconscious programming. It's because your consciousmind is saying one thing (words or a written goal) and your unconscious mind (emotions) are doing another.

Thoughts are the starting point of all your results. One of the most powerful ways that I have found to rewire unconscious programming is by visualization, if it's done effectively.

The problem is that many people don't know how to visualize effectively. They make these minor mistakes that have a big impact on their results.

I know this 5 part series will help clear all of this up for you.

In this lesson I'll cover the 1st of five pillars to help you become a more powerful thought creator with visualization.

 

5 Pillars to Visualization

These five pillars to visualization are like the legs of a
table. In order to set a solid foundation for the table
you need to have all legs working together. If any one
of these legs is missing, the table looses it's stability.

Therefore, decide now that you will commit to apply
and practice all five pillars to eliminate unconscious
programming and create new results.

... and most importantly, have some fun too!

Here is pillar #1.

Pillar #1: Consistency

Get into the habit of visualizing daily. This practice will
help you plant seeds of thought. These seeds will grow
into massive trees and bare the fruits of opportunity.

Consider this analogy. Let's say your deep within the
Amazon, in dense jungle. As you make your way
through the jungle for the first time, there is a lot of
resistance from vines and plants. It can be very
difficult in the beginning.

The next time you walk through the same path, it gets
easier to walk. With each pass through the jungle there
is less resistance than the time before. It gets easier
and the path through the jungle begins to widen.

How to Create Neural Highways of Thought

The same holds true with your mind. Each time you
visualize you're creating new neural pathways of
thought. At first you may only create very thin neural
strands, but with time and consistency these strands
will grow into pathways and then highways of thought.

It's these highways of thought that become your
new unconscious ways of thinking. When you're
effectively visualizing, you're giving your unconscious
mind instructions and new ways of thinking that align
with your goals.

It's these neural highways that channel your most
dominant thought patterns. The more energy and
consistency you give to these new ways of thinking,
the stronger the neural strand becomes.

Repetition is the game. If you repeat a phrase,
picture or feeling to yourself enough times, you'll
start to believe it - regardless if you do now or not.

The more times you bring up these new images on the
screen of your mind, the easier it gets. Be consistent and
visualize for at least five minutes every day.

Does it have to be everyday? 

Well, think of the jungle analogy again. If you stop
walking that path in the jungle for even one day, what
happens?

The vines, plants and trees start to grow back and
narrow the pathway, which draws back on your
previous efforts.

Even with visualization, it's important to be consistent
and visualize everyday to firmly plant new instructions
into your unconscious mind.

Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans

This is tale I read at Binki's Blog.  Its such a magical tale, that I decided to repost it here.  For the original post, click here.
Thank you Binki.  This story warmed my heart, and highlighted core values we need to treasure.

The Tale of the Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.



Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what do you see?"
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. She brought her closer and
asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they got soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma.

The daughter then asked. "What's the point, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity--boiling water--but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but
with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?

Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with
the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a break-up, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it
releases the fragrance and flavour. If you are like the bean, when things
are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate to
another level?

How do you handle Adversity? ARE YOU A CARROT, AN EGG, OR A COFFEE BEAN?

Don't tell GOD how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your GOD is!

i love this! i want to be seen as the coffee bean (smiling)

Blessings and love always binki x
