Visualization Miniseries #2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How Visualization activates Attraction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that we have a little bit of background on Visualization, we’re going to take a lesson from the Emotions Miniseries.
Before we look at How to visualize, we’re going to spend some time understanding Why we want to visualize.
If our Why isn’t strong enough, we’ll always look for another how. And the stronger the Why, the easier the How.
Without the Why, it’s too easy to read the miniseries, nod in agreement, then go back to living each day exactly the way we did before.
This is the Practical LOA family, and for it to truly to be practical and help improve lives, it needs to deliver results.
The first major reason why visualization is a key practice is that it activates an important aspect of Attraction: it sensitizes us to the opportunities that exist around us.
Have you ever noticed that once you get something stuck in your head, you notice it everywhere?
You hum a tune in the morning and then you hear it in your car, at the mall, at the gas station, everywhere.
Or you might have noticed something like my last car buying experience. I decided that it was time for my first truck. After researching all the trucks that were available, I settled on Toyota Tacoma and started pricing various options on a bunch of websites.
I started seeing myself in a Tacoma, imagining myself driving one down the road. I imagined myselft driving to work, and hauling my motorcycle around.
Suddenly it was like the world was full of Tacomas. I walked to the parking lot and there were 3 of them. I drove down the highway and 2 more passed me. I would go on a walk and of course the car stopped at the intersection was a Toyota Tacoma. It was like they were following me everywhere.
In actuality, the work that I did researching the car and visualizing implanted the thought into my subconscious and activated my Reticular Activating System (RAS).
The RAS is a section of our brain that is responsible for arousal and sleep-wake transitions. Basically, it controls when we become alert and where we focus our attention.
So did all those Tacomas suddenly pop into the world? Did more Tacomas truly pass me by every day?
Probably not. What happened was that I became sensitive to all the Tacomas that were already around me. My RAS made me alert and pay attention every time anything related to a Tacoma entired my vicinity.
This is one of the most critical benefits of visualization: it makes us sensitive to the opportunities around us.
Opportunities exist all around us.
But to take advantage of them, we must first be aware of them. Visualization helps us do exactly that.
Start visualizing and activate your RAS so you can recognize the opportunities around you!
