Creative visualization is the ability to manifest or produce a thing, or even a circumstance.
Imagination is our natural spiritual power we all have to form a mental picture or a concept of something which does not yet exist.
Imagination can be used creatively to fulfill wholesome desires, enhance all aspects of our lives, and facilitate rapid, satisfying spiritual growth.
When our awareness is clear, we receive with accuracy and think rationally. But when our awareness is blurred, perceptions are likely to be flawed and our thinking disorganized.
At the mind level, we are one with the Universal Mind through which supreme consciousness in everything exists and has no separation.
The separation between us and the Supreme Consciousness is only because we are all individualized units of that Consciousness. Every person is now either using their creative power of imagination or not. Those who use it consciously are able to have their desires fulfilled and live freely, knowing that they are a Spiritual Being superior to their mind and circumstances.
Try these techniques of your creative imagination to start your connection:
- Sit alone in a quiet place, meditate until your mind is calm and your awareness is clear, taking slow breaths in and out.
- Don’t fall asleep—just relax to vividly imagine that which you wish to experience.
- No need to use willpower—just feel it at the deepest level of yourself having that which you desire.
- Finally, feel that gratitude rather than emotion with that desire. Then rest in your breathing and your knowing.
- Maintain your clear awareness and feeling of accomplishment after your practice session.
Affirm:
Established in knowledge of my true nature and my relationship with the Infinite, I choose to remove or rise above all obstacles to affect my living and my freedom of expression.
“Discard the false belief of separation between spiritual life and material life. In everything you do, express your limitless soul qualities.”
—Paramahansa Yogananda (1893–1952)
