Training and Developing Visualization and Imagination

By Remez Sasson

Some people can visualize easily and others find it hard to do, but regular training of the imagination can change this. One can learn to visualize. Imagination can be developed like any other skill, through appropriate exercises.

Don’t worry if you can’t visualize, because even if you can’t, you can still use the law of attraction. If you know clearly what you want, and you have no doubts about it, and your desire is very strong, you can still attract success into your life, even if visualization is difficult for you. Feelings and desire play an important role in manifestation, not only visualization.

Suppose two people wish to manifest a particular event or object in their life, one just visualize, without any emotion or desire, and without really believing that he can manifest his dream. The other person does not visualize, but he focuses his mind on his desire, and believes and feels strongly that he has already manifested it. Who will eventually achieve his desire? The one who feels and believes.

Actually, the combination of visualization, feelings and desire is recommended, and that is why it is worthwhile to train the faculty of imagination. It can be developed gradually, through various exercises. One such exercise is to look at a small object, such as a spoon, match, or even a fruit for a few minutes, then close the eyes and try to see it mentally. If the mental image is blurred, open your eyes, look at the object for a few seconds, and again close your eyes and try to visualize it.

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. Developing the ability to visualize is not different from learning a new language, learning to drive a car or bodybuilding. Training and developing the ability to visualize takes time.

I have included a whole chapter on developing visualization and imagination in my book Visualize and Achieve, with instructions, advice, and exercises.

The Success Industry

By Remez Sasson

The success industry has turned into a huge machine, creating a growing number of books, videos, audios and workshops, all promising big and quick success, without any effort. All these products create a sense of euphoria, great expectations, and often, also frustration. The producers of many of these products make great promises, and tell you that all you need to succeed is just a little of your time. Sometimes all you have to do is just repeat a few affirmations or visualize a goal a few minutes a day, and you will soon enjoy great success and the fulfillment of your dreams.

Can this be true? Does everyone who reads the book, listens to the video or participates in the workshop become a great success? In spite of all these products and promises, how many really succeed? How many really successful people are, in relation to the entire population?

Don’t misunderstand me. I believe in the power of the mind. I have written articles and books on this subject, but I also believe in common sense and in being practical. Creative visualization and the law of attraction are useful tools that work when used correctly, and there are good and useful books and other products available. I am speaking here about the growing tendency of making great promises and the tendency to oversimplify things.

I am sure you have bought and read more than one book, audio or video about achieving success. How many have read the book, listened to the audio or watching the video they have bought, and more important, how many have followed and implemented the instructions? There is a great distance between experiencing a feeling of elation, which people often experience when they are first introduced to these subjects, to actually using the techniques, persevering and then gaining results.

Fear of Flying and Visualization

By Remez Sasson

Some people are afraid to fly. Can visualization help them to overcome the fear of flying? It might.

Visualization for Overcoming the Fear of Flying

Here is a simple visualization technique that can help you overcome the fear of flying, or at least mitigate it.

Visualize yourself at the airport, feeling happy and joyous that you are going to fly. Then see yourself going aboard, sitting in your seat and see the other passengers, stewards and stewardesses.

There is no need to worry or feel stressed while visualizing, as this is all in your imagination.

Visualize the plane taking off and you on board. Focus on feeling safe, confident and happy. Look through the window and enjoy the view, enjoy the food served, and you may also visualize talking with the other passengers. Also visualize how happy you are, expecting a great time at your destination.

Repeat this visualization 2-3 times a day, every day, always feeling this is all true and real, and happening right now. Don’t let worries and fears of flying enter your mind, and don’t express any doubts about what you are doing. Gradually, these mental images and scenes will seep into your subconscious mind and replace your fear of flying.

I cannot promise that this exercise will help every one who tries it to overcome the fear of flying, but it is worth trying. Give it a test for one or two weeks, and tell me if it has helped you.

Do you want to find more examples of how to use visualization for various goals? You can read about them in the book Visualize and Achieve.

Obtaining Cash Through Visualization

Chris Odle writes in his book ”Practical Visualization’, how to obtain a certain amount of money using visualization. Here is an excerpt from his book:

“Obtaining a certain amount of cash

Decide how much you want. Relax. Visualize a bank; It’s no ordinary bank; but a bank where unlimited amounts of funds are available absolutely free of charge.

Think for a name for the bank. See it in your mind’s eye; it could be something like ‘Universal State Bank’ or ‘Free Bank’.

As you can imagine, there’s a bit of queue inside, but people are dealt with surprising quickly. Very soon you reach the cashier. He/she smiles and asks you how much you want. You tell them your requirements and immediately they get the right amount of money out. You feel great as they pass it over, and off you go. As you walk out you feel lighter and grateful. ‘It’s also easy’, you think to yourself. Now spend a few moments visualizing what you will do with the money.”

Quoted from ‘Practical Visualization’ by Chris Odle.

You can find many detailed examples of how to use creative visualization for obtaining money and other things, in the book Visualize and Achieve.

Visualizing and Attracting Money Into Your Life

By Remez Sasson

People who wish to use the power of visualization to manifest something in their life, often wonder whether to visualize money or the object they wish to have?

If they visualize money, they might get the money, but it doesn’t mean it will be spent on what they want. There might be other needs with higher priority, so they might get they money they visualized, but it is not certain they will get the object they want. In my opinion, it is always better to visualize exactly what you want.

Suppose you desire to travel abroad, what will make you motivated, strengthen your desire, and energize you to do everything you can in order to travel, visualizing getting the money for the trip, or visualizing yourself on the plane, arriving safely, traveling and enjoying the sights and the food, and having a great time?

You can of course visualize and attract money into your life. If you wish just to be financially independent, then it is all right, but if what you wish is a particular object or doing something that requires money, it would be better to visualize your exact desire accomplished. If money is required to make it come true, it will arrive in some way.
