Imagination is creation
Our senses have incredible power – the power to transmit information to our subconscious. It is through the senses that we perceive reality. We see, hear, touch, etc. The whole process usually takes place unconsciously. While looking at something we don’t really think about the act of looking as such. Same for listening, we hear different sounds without analyzing the essence of the activity itself. You could say that this is how we have been programmed. Everything happens automatically, and not always to our advantage.
What can we do to change the dominant image in our subconscious? To eradicate the harmful elements that are poisoning our present reality? The answer is something so simple that you may not believe its power: visualization meditation. Start practicing with Yogilab!
What is visualization? It’s simply imagining something in such a way that it produces the effect we want. Depending on the need, we may imagine ourselves in some dream role, in full health, in some longed-for place, or with a loved one. Our task is to see with the eye of imagination as vividly as possible so that it seems real. So real that our subconscious believes it.
To imagine is to create, to immerse ourselves in a world where we have not been before, and to go beyond the limits of what we thought was possible. Through the power of our imagination, we can design a new reality that serves us best. This is why visualization techniques are such an interesting tool.
The Power To Change Your Life
Have you ever lost your motivation and didn’t know what to hold on to? Have you, at any time, had gone through a difficult stage in your life that made you question everything? No matter who you are, there will be obstacles in your way. However, we all have one thing in common: the choice and possibility to change our situation. The technique of creative visualization helps to materialize this choice.
Of course, it will take hard work and determination to accomplish your vision, but the main goal in all of this is to find pleasure in pursuing something you are passionate about. You have the ability to attract all the things you think are unattainable into your life. The key is to believe in them and find that inner fire to push towards that vision. Become aware of this power within you and allow yourself to shape your mind in a conscious way.
In the fusion of meditation and visualization is where the magic happens
The heart of meditation is to bring you to a level of consciousness that is different from when you are sleeping, dreaming, or moving through your day. It is a state of being that is beyond thoughts and fully into being.
Reprogramming Of The Nervous System
A guided visualization or any visual meditations can help us reprogram our reactions to stress. Different visualizations will guide you through images to project in your mind to change the narrative and the way you experience stress. The idea is to break down the conditioning that we constantly project in the different situations of our daily life. Instead of the fear generated by a particular situation, you will project a different idea of the situation by going back to what you had during the positive visualization.
Visualization is a great technique used to reduce anxiety. Essentially, it is a tool that is used to reach a state of total relaxation by decreasing the fear, excitement, or any physiological activation of the organism that appears in these moments. Meditation with visualization facilitates the opening of new challenges, opportunities, sensations, and pleasures. Once you have dealt with anxiety, you can try meditations for success.
Here are a few of the most common visualization exercises :
Colors
The chromatic range has been widely studied in psychology to analyze the perceptions, behaviors, and sensations that colors evoke. Therefore, imagining that our body is filled with light can be an excellent way to attract emotions. This exercise consists in breathing deeply while thinking that we are surrounded by a light of a specific color that goes from white to orange to red. We must also focus on the physical sensations that arise in every case. What does each color make us feel? Once we have done this, the next step is to imagine that we are a light that emanates green tones and that we are in total harmony.
Muscular Tension
We often come back home feeling that our whole body is in pain. Visualization meditation can be used as a natural remedy to lighten the load. Sit or lie down on the floor and concentrate on the part of your muscles in which you notice more tension. The next step is to imagine that you have a knot in that area that prevents you from moving freely and you must try to undo it with the mind. You must keep your attention on each loop of the knot while breathing and visualizing how you manage to untie it. The loops unravel and eventually disintegrate as if they were made of sand. This exercise can be repeated as many times as you notice muscle tension points in your body.
Active Memory
Had a hard day today? Have been through too much and not all of it has been pleasant? The exercise we explain now will help you connect with that much-needed state of calm. To do this, you need to close your eyes and take a deep breath to go back to the beginning of your day: How did you sleep, what did you have for breakfast, how did you greet your family… The idea is to relive all these thoughts and sensations as if you were there.
Once you have managed to recreate everything as clearly as possible, you need to focus your attention on the painful moments in order to release them and integrate that part of the day. Then you just need to focus on the present moment and a state of relaxation will naturally take over.
Facing The Unknown
What lies beyond? What will life hold for you in a few years? Will the world collapse? To deal with this uncertainty, you can visualize yourself in a dark and closed room located in a forest. The wind is blowing outside, you hear hungry animals. Close your eyes and focus on the feeling you are experiencing. Is it fear? Is it anxiety? Hold it for a few minutes and watch it release gradually.
Now imagine that another door opens and you can see the way out of this room. You run towards it and suddenly find yourself in the forest in the same situation that you visualized before. What emotion do you feel? Once you have identified it, you notice that a path is opening in front of you. You decide to follow it and little by little, you feel how the tension you had felt is being relieved and eliminated from your body. You are safe, calm, and comfortable.
