From “Creative Visualization: Second Edition” byu Shakti Gawain
Here is the most basic creative visualization technique, in four steps: 1. Pick a goal – something that you desire to be, do, or have. For example: “I would like to be more assertive.” 2. Make an affirmation out of it. State it in a simple sentence, in the present tense, as if it were already true. For example: “I am an assertive person.” 3. Picture your goal or feel it as if it were already true. Usually it’s helpful to close your eyes and just pretend or imagine what things would be like if it were true. Don’t worry if you can’t picture the scenario clearly – just feel it or imagine it in whatever way is easiest for you. 4. Consciously turn your goal over to your higher self, or to the higher power of the universe, and let go of it. This means you don’t try to make it happen; you relax and let the higher force go to work within you to create it. Then just go about your life – but be sure to follow your intuitive impulses and promptings, and be open to growing and changing.
