About Creative Visualization

Creative visualization is the practice of seeking to affect the outer world by changing one's thoughts and expectations---one's 'inner world'. Creative visualization is the basic technique underlying positive thinking, and it operates according to the Law of Attraction.

Creative visual of the mind's third eye

Creative visualization techniques involve using the imagination to visualize specific behaviors or events occurring in one's life. The idea is to create vivid and detailed imagery of what one desires and then visualizing it over and over again by including all of the physical senses (i.e., what do you see? what do you feel? what do you hear? what does it smell like?). For example, in sports a golfer may visualize the perfect stroke over and over again to mentally train muscle memory.

Creative visualization can be used for a variety of purposes. It's main use is for attaining the desired mind-set necessary for achieving one's goals and creating a more desireable life. The concept of Creative Visualization within this context originally arose in the US with the nineteenth century New Thought movement. One of the first Americans to practice the technique of creative visualization was Wallace Wattles (1860–1911), who wrote The Science of Getting Rich. In this book, Wattles advocates creative visualization as the main technique for realizing one's goals.
