How to visualize something you aren’t experiencing
It has become a common statement in the “human potential” industry that manifesting and attracting something into your life is much easier when you put feeling behind it. I’m sure you can attain the same things without it, but I personally want to “ramp things up” (as my older brother likes to say) and use all the abilities at my disposal to guarantee that I receive all my wants with the greatest speed and force possible. But I was having a difficult time of it. How can you focus on peace and prosperity at the times you most need it - when you’re worried about your electricity getting shut off and you need to buy groceries, but only have $2.00 in your bank account to last you for the next two weeks?
I had to think about how to do this – the mechanics of it – and one day it just happened. The reason I think I suddenly envisioned it this way is due to two of my core beliefs which are:
1. All of us are connected to a “power source” of thoughts and experiences that we all contribute to. I heard this referred to in a scientific article recently as “a universal, unifying thread of love”.
2. If we are capable of feeling or experiencing something with the use of a drug (such as extreme highs or altered states of consciousness from illegal drugs) then we are able to experience the same things without any physical trigger – if we can just tap into that power source.
The mere fact that someone is capable of having a certain emotion or experience is proof that it does exist. We have only to try and to practice attaining that same state using our own mental abilities and beliefs to do it.
Let me digress for a minute and talk about this power source I keep referring to. One day I was concentrating on focusing myself to believe that the collective energy of the universe and all of us in it would give me the support I needed to direct the things I most wanted in life right to me; if only I could reach up and tap into it and accept what it brought. To create in myself an openness akin to opening your heart to a new relationship, or the unconditional love and hope you feel when you have your first child. For Christians, it might be akin to opening your heart to God or Christ.
In thinking of this universal power source in this light (so to speak – what a great word choice), I suddenly visualized myself reaching up with both arms, palms flat and touching a sort of “plane” of blue energy. Don’t ask me why it’s blue – it’s what my mind created for me and you might see pink or green or purple. The thickness was barely perceivable. Were it even a millimeter thinner, one would not be able to see it at all. It was not a solid sheet, but instead had constantly changing clouds moving around in it. I imagined these clouds to be the thoughts and feelings being constantly contributed to the plane.
I visualized all of us unknowingly (or for some, perhaps knowingly) contributing to this blue holding plane. Then I addressed that collective subconscious – which I knew could hear and respond to me no matter if the people contributing to it were not even aware of it. (After all, things do not require anyone to believe in them to exist. A tree exists whether you acknowledge that it does or not. You are, however, more likely to experience the tree if you do believe it exists.)
I posed my request to my new glowing plane for what I wanted to manifest in my life.
Immediately I started to feel an acceptance spread through me as if the collective energy had heard my request and was absolutely thrilled to comply. “Sure!” it said. “Coming right up - just for you!”
Well, I think I’ve digressed long enough. What I believe my experience means is simply that from then on, the technique I’ve just explained became my way of being able to visualize or feel something I wasn’t actually experiencing. After all, someone, somewhere out there has already felt the joys of buying their dream home or car, or finding their perfect partner and being truly in love, or being in the perfect health. All I have to do – all anyone has to do – is tap into it whenever it is needed.
Now when I’m feeling stressed out and want to feel at peace I mentally reach up and draw out the experience of living a relaxed, worry-free life. If I want to focus on drawing love to me, I reach up and pull the experiences of those who’ve lived a lifetime of happiness with their soul mate (ala The Notebook) and fill myself with those feelings.
So the next time you feel like crying from loneliness, or stress out about how to pay your mortgage, reach up and tap into the lives of those who are living or have already lived incredible, abundantly joyful lives. The more you do, the quicker you’ll attract that life as your own. Feeling is believing. It works for me.
