Visualisation using our imagination is something we are all used to. When we dream, our unconscious mind creates surreal and vivid pictures and scenes.
When we are awake we often fantasize about our future, often imagining ourselves in exotic and desirable places and situations.
We also have daydreams where the mind wanders and we have images sometimes appearing in our minds eye.
We all have a capability to visualize. We can use visualization to create well being and health or we can mentally recreate physical objects.
Visualize only what you wish to happen for your own highest good. Negative thoughts can also imprint themselves too. If you are constantly expecting the worst you are blocking out good vibrations.

There are many ways to visualize. Visualization can be combined with positive affirmations or colour for added vibrational effects. Music can also be used for relaxation while doing colour visualizations. Colour visualizations can also be especially effective if you combine it with yogic breathing or pranayama. Guided visualizations using symbols, colour and fragrance, linked to each chakra can also bring peace, harmony and healing.
The basic principles of visualization is to sit as in meditation and to quieten and relax the mind.
- We can use a physical object or an abstract image or we might have a particular symbol we want to meditate on.
- Visualization can be used to alleviate pain, in times of shock, for stress and distress and in the treatment of serious illness.
- Consistently practising visualization brings insights and qualities that we might never before experienced.
- We might have some new insight into a problem that we need to solve, a new sense of belonging to the world or we might develop a new connection to our spiritual self.
