If You Could Find A Way

In previous post I described what John Kehoe explains the technique of visualization is in relation to our mind powers.

Here I will share what I learn from his book is the way to go about this visualization technique.

The very first aspect is simply deciding what we want to do.
That is, have a clear outcome we wish to be part of our life.

Decide what that is for us.
This is actually very important because in general a lot of us humans are very good at getting clear what we do not want or what we are against in life. However, giving real focussed attention on what we really desire that is ideal to our mind and dear to our heart is worth giving much more of our conscious attention to. Maybe in society in general this is something we can all get much better at. I certainly think and feel so.

So once we’ve picked a clear outcome we desire to see in our life the next important element is to relax our own mind in readiness to remove all distractions and give our concentrated attention to what we intend to see on that inner screen of our own mind.

Once we are comfortable in body and mind then we direct our thoughts to see the images that represent to us the outcome we desire taking place in our life. We spend a concentrated period of say 5 to 10 minutes where we linger on thoughts of doing and having the thing we desire in our own life. We live in this as an experience right now entering into the role in the detail we see as being real to us and become what we would be as we are experiencing it happening in our life.

Now doing this once is like creating an energetic calibration for our own mind and beingness to know the blueprints to experience this in our own life. Doing this more than once gives more power to what we put our mind to work on. As John Kehoe says in his book:

“the mental pictures we indulge in, the ones we regularly think about, become a blueprint for our goals, a mold into which we pour our energy. These pictures are real forces that will work for us.”

I like to point out at this stage he is talking about consciously being in process of creating things we like to see happen in our life. Let there be no doubt that if we give our attention and energy to unconsciously imaging scenarios happening in our life we fear seeing unfold or would hate to see happen that is also the very same technique but that is when we would be having our mind not serving us well.

Visualization is still visualization whether it is seeing mental pictures of what we desire or what we might fear or worry about.

Practicing getting better at this technique for what we desire is the aim here.

John Kehoe also describes we can have two forms of visualization.
One he calls precise visualization where we know the exact scenes of what we desire to see happen in our life and running them through our mind much like a preset script.

The other form is what he calls free-flowing visualization is which we allow images to come and go in our mind without choosing them directly. We allow to be shown on inner screen of our mind the outcome we desire to see unfold in our life. We live in the experience and let the visions come to us as our thoughts linger in being in the experience.

The key thing to successful visualization as John Kehoe prescribes is practice every day just like a committed and elite olympic athlete practices in their chosen field of sport.

As John Kehoe says “results come when the image is imprinted again and again and again….any thought put into our mind, and nourished regularly, will produce results in your life…. any image held in the mind is a force that will eventually produce an effect”

I like to finish of this blog entry by saying that in John Kehoe book he is not suggesting this is like magic wand and thought by itself will make the outcome happen.
There is a real force here whenever we are imaging with our thoughts, yes indeed. Energy is clearly at play, that is a definite role in forming our reality.
However, what I understand of this process is this technique attracts and leads to situations and opportunities coming our way that will *lead* us to our desired outcome. We still have to be actively involved in being and doing the behaviour and actions that are congruent with having this desired result in our life. We cannot sit on the sidelines so to speak. We have to get in the field of our own life game and make it happen to really win on the scoreboard that counts as meaningful result in our own life. A big part of our own mind power is to take inspired action based on what we’ve set our mind on the task of seeing happen in our life and our faith and trust in our heart what can unfold in our life.

Maybe this is the subtle shift that moves a desired result we are in process of attracting to an actual result we have manifested we are living.

Take wonderful care with your inner vision and happy manifesting in your inspired actions
