A Simple Thought ...

We keep moving forward,

opening new doors and

doing new things

because we're curious and

curiosity keeps leading us

down new paths.

Walt Disney

A simple thought can trigger imagination and explode with creativity.  If the idea is lavished with vibrant color, plush texture, and rich emotion,  the possibilities are endless!  If we do not support the original thought,  however, it will simply float away. 

In the book, MANIFESTING CHANGE by Mike Dooley, a great deal of emphasis is placed on "thoughts becoming things".  The book encourages the use of creative visualization as an exercise in perpetuating your creative ideas or desires. 

These are Mike Dooley's Six Guidelines to Creative Visualization:

1. Visualize once a day.
2. Visualize no longer than five to ten minutes at at time.
3. Imagine every conceivable detail.
4. Feel the emotion.
5. Put yourself in the picture.
6. Dwell from the end result - or beyond.

"When visualizing, go to the finished picture, where your dream has already come true," states Mike Dooley. This point is very vital.  You must act as though the visualization has already manifested.  All of your senses must be attuned with the vision being real. 

For example, let us create the desire to be vacationing at the ocean...

Sitting comfortably, breathe in and out slowly and relax, while you close your eyes. 

In your mind's eye, see a beach and place as much detail in the picture as you can, like birds in the sky or shells being washed up on the shore. 

Listen to the roar of the waves, or the movement of the tree branches while you feel the sand warm beneath your feet.  

(Be certain to place your self in the picture!)

Feel your body relaxing in a lounge chair, holding a nice cold drink in your hand. 

Taste the delicious drink circulating in your mouth. 

Fill this imaginary scene with emotions as though it were all happening right in this very moment.  Make it as real as you possibly can.

By vibrantly repeating this imagery as part of a daily routine, intentions are sent out into the Universe.  By taking actions towards a goal, the support of the Universe is attracted.

  A NOTE FROM THE UNIVERSE

Did you know that whenever you think

a brand new thought,

however fleeting,

there are switches flicked here?

Buttons pressed?

Levers thrown?

Banners unfurled?

Wheels turned?

Hats tipped?

Winks winked?

Angels sent?

Connections made and conga lines formed?

For starters.

You wouldn't even believe me if I told you

what happens when you visualize.

Yeah, a lot a lot.
