Visualization Technique

You can apply the concept of Be-Do-Have in gratitude. That’s is why in law of attraction or the science of getting rich, you are asked to Be grateful first. Be grateful for your goals as if you had already achieved them. Then you Do visualizations of gratitude and take massive actions to attain your goals. Finally you will Have what you aimed for.

Most people do it the other way round. They want to have something first before they take any actions. If they don’t see immediate results, they will stop doing what is necessary. Usually they will tell you that they will be grateful when they achieve their goals but chances are, they won’t.

You can’t Be grateful only after you Have something. You need to Be grateful, way before you Have it. Then your mind and thoughts are in sync with your actions. And you will Have what you are grateful for.

In my last post I mentioned T Harv Eker’s “groundbreaking book “Secret of The Millionaire Mind.” Harv stands by a few Wealth principles that he follows. I have listed down some of them below for you to emulate:-

• Your income can grow only to the extent you do!
• If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible!
• Money is a result, wealth is a result, health is a result, illness is a result, your weight is a result. We live in a world of cause an effect.
• When the subconscious mind must choose between deeply rooted emotions and logic. Emotions will almost always win.
• If your motivation for acquiring money or success comes froma nonsupportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to “prove” yourself, your money will never bring you happiness.
• Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past.
• You can choose to think in ways that will support you in your happiness and success instead of ways that don’t.
• When you are complaining, you become a living, breathing “crap magnet”.

Think like rich people think, do what rich people do and you are more likely to get rich.

There is so much wisdom in what Harv says. His seminars such as the “Millionaire Mind Intensive”, “Life Directions Intensive”, Guerilla Business School, Enlightened Warrior Training Camp and his “Secret of the Millionaire Mind” book are highly recommended for everyone who has a desire to increase their financial and emotional wealth.

As I had mentioned in my earlier posts I was fortunate to be a participant at T Harv Eker’s “Milionaire Minds Intensive” seminar a few week sago. For those of you who are not familiar with Harv, he wrote the groundbreaking book Secret of The Millionaire Mind.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others seem destined for a life of financial struggle? Harv believes that each and every one of us has ingrained in his or her subconscious mind, our own personal “money and success blueprint” that will determine our financial lives. Our financial blueprint consists primarily of the conditioning or “programming” we received in the past, and especially as a young child. Parents, other members of family, friends, teachers, religious leaders, media, culture, etc.

If your money blueprint is geared for success, you will go through life attracting money and opportunities where ever you go. Even if you lose money, you will gain it back quickly like Donald Trump. If your money blueprint is ‘flawed’ due to your past conditioning, you will go through life with a lot of financial challenges. Even when you make a lot of money, somehow you will lose the money that you have one way or another and will be back to financial struggles.

“You can have all the knowledge and skills in the world, but if your
“blueprint” isn’t set for success, you’re financially doomed.”
–T. Harv Eker

At the “Millionaire Mind Intensive” Seminar you will get to the root of what determines your financial success, mediocrity or failure. Not only will you identify your money blueprint but throughout the seminar you will get a chance to reset it for natural and automatic success. These new ways of thinking and being will not only enhance your financial life, but every other area of your life as well. At this not to be missed seminar you get to learn, have fun and go to a brand new level in your life! Do not miss the golden opportunity to learn from T Harv Eker and to change your life.

Do you have a Millionaire Mind?

In wealth, we also need to follow the universal law of Be-Do-Have. What many people do is exactly the opposite. They looked at what they have first. They chased many opportunities around them just because they promised good money. But somehow, it didn’t workout, or they lost their drive and didn’t follow through. They usually blame the opportunities, or the events instead of looking at themselves. Then they will continue to look for a new opportunity and this cycle continues. 

Following the law of Be-Do-Have, we need to have the mindset of a wealthy person. We need to understand about money management, asset and liabilities. We need to understand the law of money. We need to change our negative believes about wealth. We need to educate ourselves first. Then we look for the vehicles to create wealth that resonates with our core, whether in business, stock market or property market. By doing this, we will achieve success effortlessly and without contradiction. We will have the level of wealth that we desire. 

We need to learn the concept of Be-Do-Have. We have to Be a successful person first. We must have the mindset and attitude of a successful person first. Then we will naturally Do what successful people do, and inevitably we will Have the results.

We live in a world where everyone is looking at the results and try to change the results. They are looking at what they Have, and normally what they have is always not enough. Then to change what they Have, they try to change what they Do. An obvious example is in health. An overweight person wants to Have a healthy and fit body. Usually in our culture this overweight person will look for ways for him to change his body. He might try dieting. As we know, diet alone rarely works. Then he try to purchase some slimming pills, equipments, join a club, and so on. The problem is that without a mindset change, this overweight person will always revert back to his old habits and lifestyles, thus having the same results. As you can see, this person is trying to change what he Have by changing what he Does.

This person needs to change his mindset first. He needs to Be the person that he needs to be in order for him to achieve the results he wanted. He needs to adopt the thinking of a healthy and fit person. He needs to change his perspective, his believes, and his expectations. Then, it is easy for him to Do the things that he needs to do to lose weight. With a new thinking, he will have a different evaluation on the food he eats, the lifestyle he has and a different appreciation of his body. He will eat differently and will be more committed to stick to his plans. Overtime, he will get the results that he wants.

Then best time to do the visualization on gratitude is in the morning when you wake up. Do this visualization exercise when it is quiet to prepare yourself mentally for the day ahead. Start by finding a comfortable place where you can sit quietly and make sure there won’t be any distractions while you are doing this visualization.

Take a few deep breaths and breath slower and slower. Imagine and see yourself in a place that is so serene and tranquil. Your mind starts to relax. Feel your body begin to let go of all the tensions that you might have. Begin to feel that you are connected to the universe. Feel that you are unbounded and free.

There are so much that we can be grateful for. Really feel the emotion of happiness that your life is full of abundance and joy. Be thankful for what today is. Be grateful for today.

Start by being grateful for everything within you. Give thanks to your health and your body. Be happy that you are alive today. What else within you that you can be happy about? What about your intelligence, your ability to love unconditionally and your compassion?

Then expand out to things or event around you. Be grateful for your family and friends. Who do you love? Who loves you? Who is contributing to your life? Who is helping you either directly or indirectly? Be grateful for the job your have or the business that you run. Be grateful for the place you live. What else can you be grateful for?

Expand even more to the people that you interact with everyday. For the opportunities that are around you all the time, and for the peaceful country that you live in.
Do this exercise daily and see what will happen to your thoughts, your feelings and your life.

Visualization on gratitude is an important practice that if you do it daily, it will change how you feel and your perception of your life. You will have a deeper appreciation of your life. While it is important for you to focus on your goals, it is easy to forget what you already have in your life. If you really think about it, you already have everything you need to be happy right now. You already have what is takes for you to be fulfilled.

By showing gratitude of what you already have, it creates a high level of energy within you. Like everything in the world, we are made of energy. Our thoughts are energy. The universe responds to our thoughts consistently.

If we have negative, chaotic or limiting thoughts, thoughts which focus on what is lack in our life, this will drain our energy. It lowers our energy. If our mind creates harmonious and positive thoughts, this naturally creates higher energy levels within and around us. Thoughts of gratitude and appreciations are uplifting and energizing. If we say thank you for what we already have and for what we desire in our life, we will always be abundant.

If your mind is only thinking positive thoughts, thoughts of gratitude and appreciation, you will be more open and receptive to all the opportunities in our life.

Vision board acts like a magnet that attracts what you really want into your life. It also serves as visual reminder that keeps you and your mind (including your subconscious mind) on what you are going after. Your mind will automatically notice things that will bring you closer to your goals. Your mind will think and come out with ideas that will realize what is in your vision board.

To create an effective vision board, first you have to divide your life into several general categories. The common categories are like health, wealth, career, relationship, emotional and spiritual. Brainstorm a few categories that you want to focus on in your life. You should also balance your life because you want all parts of your life to be doing well!

The next thing you need to do is to decide whether you want to make a vision board for each category or you want to create a single vision board that combines all these categories. I would recommend that you do one for each category.

To create a vision board for a category, health for example, find pictures from magazines, newspapers and other media that has pictures which represents your ideal health and fitness. It can be pictures of an athlete, a model, a person exercising, or healthy foods. The most important thing is that the pictures should make you excited! If you have the body of perfect fitness and live the life of perfect health just as in the pictures, how would you feel? If the pictures do not excite you enough, look for more! Another example might be the things that you want to have. If a picture of a race car does not excite you enough, maybe that is not what you really want. Try other pictures such as a jet plane or a helicopter! Let your mind go wild. Don’t set any limitation to yourself! Be a child and let your heart and desires drive you.

Other than pictures, you can also use words. If you are doing a vision board on relationship, you can cut out words like “Passionate Relationship”, “Ultimate Lover”, “Sexy Moments”, “Lover of My Life” or the like. You want to combine pictures and words to give a deeper effect. If you are doing a vision board on health, cut out words like “Athlete”, “Adonis”, “Iron Man”, “Perfect Health”, “Strong and Powerful Body”, “Role Model of Health” or “Holistic Health”. Similar to pictures, these words should excite you. Read through the magazine or websites to get some ideas of phrases that really excites you. If you find it through your computer, print it out and put it to your vision board.

Combine all the pictures and words and paste them together to form a vision board. If you are creating only one vision board for all categories, make sure you have a balance and include pictures and words for each category. Again, you want to excel in all areas of your life.

Finally, look at it again and make sure it really motivate you and drive you to make it happen! Hang your vision board on a place that you will look at every single day.

I was listening to Joseph McClendon III, chief trainer for many of Anthony Robbins events, telling about the importance of a vision board. He told a story of how he won the FANtasy Bike Contest by American Chopper series, sponsored by Discovery Channel. And how he got his dream bike built exactly the way he visualized it!

He started by visualizing his dream bike. He sketched out his bike and put it in front of his desk and started to visualize it everyday. In addition to that, he also knew the reason why he wanted to win the contest. He said that he had always loved motorcycles, especially choppers. But long time ago he had to sell his bike (hog) to help pay for his mom’s hospital bills. His mom asked him to make a promise that he would build another bike that meant as much to him as the one he sold. So to fulfill this promise, he wanted to win.

He submitted his entry and started to visualize his new bike. He looked at his sketch all the time. Out of over 100,000 entries, he was shortlisted. He was so excited, and he kept doing his visualizations. There were several short listing processes and every time he was informed that he got shortlisted, he got more convinced that his visualization is working and he did the visualization even more intensely.

Finally, after many selection processes, it came down to a few participants who had to submit a video each describing why they wanted to win the contest. Of course, Joseph told the story about his promise to his mother. At last, he was selected to be the winner!

Joseph told us this story to convince us that there is magic about making a vision board and visualizing. In part 3, you will learn how to create an effective vision board.

You can now make the Law of Attraction works for you immediately by using creative visualization. You can create the life that you want by first creating the images in your head. This is because you will attract whatever you consistently visualize.

Why does visualization cause the attraction process to take place? Wallace D Wattles in The Science of Getting Rich, wrote that in order for you to attract anything into your life, you have to believe with conviction that you will receive what you asked for. One of the best ways to make your mind believe what you asked for will come true is by doing visualization.

When you believe that you can achieve something, you send out a stronger energy. You are more confident and you will perform better. People will pick up your level of energy in a subconscious level and will respond to you positively. This is true in business, relationships, health or even sports. Rebecca Smith, a clinical research assistant in sports psychology at the U.S. Olympic Training center in Colorado, said that professional athletes spend a good deal of time visualizing their victory by telling their minds exactly what they want their bodies to achieve.

It is important for you to visualize consistently of the things or events you want. In order to feed your mind with visualization ideas and to focus your mind, you can create a vision board. A vision board is a collection of pictures or words of your goals or what you want to achieve. These pictures are put together to create a collage that gives you an emotional charge everytime you look at it. The pictures that you put on your vision board can be your dream home, cars, holidays, or certain lifestyles that you want. You can put pictures that give you a strong positive emotion. You can also put some inspirational words or phrases.

Check out for Part 2 for a real life story of how visualizations made Joseph win a contest sponsored by Discovery Channel…

How can you harness the power that is being used by the most successful people of our time to achieve success? Successful people, whether in business, sports, health, relationships, or happiness, all do the same thing to achieve all that they want. It is the same thing that the successful people do to make them successful and failures do to make them fail. By understanding the process of what they do on a regular basis, now you can move towards the life of your dreams.

More and more people are now being exposed to the Law of Attraction and begin to realize that their regular thoughts control every aspect of their lives. Your thoughts create your reality. Law of attraction says that your regular thoughts attract every event or circumstances that you experience, every things that you have, and the current condition of your life. So, how can you consciously direct your thoughts so that you can achieve all that you want in your life now?

Your mind has a regular pattern of thinking and it is very common for this thinking pattern to repeat itself over and over again. The best way to change your nonconstructive thinking habits and to direct it to attract what you want is by using visualization technique. Visualization is a very powerful tool for attraction. All successful people use visualization to achieve what they want. Some call it dreams, vision, mental picture, or idea.

The best way to visualize is by using the NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) technology. There are 3 primary ways for the mind to perceive or to think. They are visual, auditory and kinesthetic. The most effective way to visualize is to combine all three modes.

Most visual people visualize by making pictures in their head. Visualize an important thing or event that you want in your life. If you can have it the way you want it, how does it looks like. To accelerate the process of attraction, experience your visualization even more by making the pictures bigger and brighter. Imagine as if you are there in person. Make the pictures in color and make it moving.

The second mode is auditory. This means visualization by making sounds, voices or words. Words produce strong emotions and emotions are vital to the attraction process. If I say “you are mistaken”, this produces a very different emotion compared to if I say “you are wrong” or “you are lying!”. Combining visualization with sounds enhances your experience. Visualize what you say to yourself when you are successful. Visualize what others say to you.

Kinesthetic refers to feelings or emotions. If you follow the previous instruction on how to visualize with pictures and sounds, emotions comes naturally. The most important part is to feel as if you had already achieved what you are visualizing. Attach positive emotions like confident, proud, freedom, happy and excited.

To integrate and to enhance your visualization experiences, you can use tools that are scientifically proven to improve your brainwave and your visualization experiences such as the Attraction Accelerator.

Let’s take an example. If you wanted to start a company and you have been worried and overwhelmed by self doubts, thoughts about economic risks and all the detailed elements to run the business, use visualization technique to attract your business to success. Imagine your business as being one of the most successful in its industry. Imagine your office building. Visualize your company’s annual meeting in a large and luxurious boardroom. Visualize the huge profits you see in the financial report. Visualize that you already have all the plans laid out for future growth. Hear that people are congratulating you for your success. Listen to what you say to yourself. Feel how proud you are to yourself and to your family. To enhance this experience, visualize the picture bigger and brighter and double the intensity of your emotions. Do this visualization technique everyday in the morning and at night before you sleep. Your dreams will become reality faster than you think.

It is amazing to understand how the process of manifestation by visualization works. Just think of anything that you have in your life today, whether it is significant or just some something small. If you look back, all of them started at one point from an intention. Most of the time, this intention is visual.

It is not wishful thinking or imagination. Quantum physics are at the point of discovering this phenomenon. It says that you cannot have a universe without the mind entering into it. The mind is shaping the very thing it perceived.

There is a time delay of what you visualize and what you will receive. This is the good news and the bad news. If you are visualizing negative events, they usually don’t show up immediately. You can still correct your intention by visualizing positive events. And it is proven scientifically that positive thoughts are 100 times more powerful than negative thoughts. The bad news is that if you visualize a positive event, they too don’t show up immediately. So time delay is your protector and your tester.

Visualization is the act of creating mental pictures, sounds and/or feelings of an event, situation or behavior. If this act of visualization is controlled and directed it has a strong power to create or attract what is visualized into reality.

The mind cannot differentiate between an event which is experience and one which is vividly imagined. That is why we sweat, our heart beat faster and the body pumps more adrenaline when we had a nightmare

Detailed visualization can have a strong effect on the body. Most peak performing athletes visualize more often and more detailed than do others. They may have learned to visualize spontaneously how they want to act in every situation. These visualization conditions the nervous system as strongly as in a real physical practice. For years, the 4-minute mile was considered not merely unreachable but, according to physiologists of the time, dangerous to the health of any athlete who attempted to reach it. Roger Bannister was the first person to run a 4-minute mile and he didn’t do it just by practicing. He ran the 4-minute mile in his mind countless times before he actually broke the record.

Many great teachers including Napolean Hill, Wallace D. Wattles, Anthony Robbins, and Mark Victor Hansen talk about the power of visualization. The clearer your vision and the more positive emotions you attach to your vision, the faster it will become a reality. Thus visualization is a very powerful tool.

Therefore it is very important for you to visualize all the things that you can dream of everyday. And you must visualize them clearly, your mind has to be directed and you are associating positive emotions to them. You can listen to visualization enhancer music such as the Attraction Accelerator to enhance your visualization experience so that you can achieve your goals faster.
