But ... Before We Start ...
Did you know that a disproportionately high percentage of Olympic Athletes and Elite Businesspeople use Creative Visualization to improve their performance?
And also, that Visualization is expressly recommended in a number of the best-selling personal development books of all time?
Books such as Think and Grow Rich, Psycho Cybernetics, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and The Intention Experiment all explicitly recommend Visualization as the fastest way to create lasting changes to your self-image - and thus, your results.
So, the first of the Secrets of Creative Visualization is that a lot more people are doing it than you thought… including elite performers... and they are seeing demonstrable results. Keep that in mind.
Secrets of Creative Visualization #1
Your Subconscious Mind Runs The Show !
The first of our Secrets of Creative Visualization is that your subconscious mind is hugely powerful; powerful, in fact, beyond measure.
The subconscious mind has been said to contain:
"Infinite wisdom, infinite power, and an infinite supply of all that is necessary" ---> Dr Joseph Murphy
Your subconscious pumps blood round your body; digests your food; answers your questions; provides solutions … and automates big chunks of your behaviour.
A good analogy is that your conscious mind is the "tip of the iceberg", whereas the subconscious is the 90% of the iceberg which is hidden underwater.
It's immensely powerful… But your subconscious mind can be a bit of a double-edged sword.
Basically, whatever your subconscious mind "believes" to be true about you - whether you should be rich or poor; happy or depressed; a success or a failure - will tend to manifest in your life.
This is great if you think empowering thoughts 24/7. But if you're human, like the rest of us, this can pose a bit of a problem.
Secrets of Creative Visualization #2
You Act In Accordance With Your Deepest Beliefs !
Taking the last point a little further, you must become aware that your deepest-held beliefs have a significant impact on the way you act.
Dr Maxwell Maltz documented this in his ground-breaking book Psycho Cybernetics. He wisely understood that:
"Human beings always act and feel and perform in accordance with what they imagine to be true about themselves and their environment"
Dr Joseph Murphy, author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, agreed, saying:
"All your experiences, events, conditions and acts are produced by your subconscious mind in reaction to your thoughts. Remember, it is not the thing believed in, but the belief in your own mindwhich brings about the result "
So, basically, if you have deeply-held, positive & empowering beliefs, you're likely to live an awesome, fulfilled, successful life. Brilliant!
But what happens if you don't? What happens if you have shitty, limiting beliefs?
Secrets of Creative Visualization #3
You Can Change Your Subconscious Programming!
The fabulous news is that you can change the details of what your subconscious "believes" to be true about yourself.
And the fastest, safest and easiest way to do it is by using Creative Visualization.
By flooding your conscious mind with rich, vivid & detailed pictures, sounds & feelings of you acting at the very best of your abilities, you will gradually change your beliefs about what is possible for you.
And when your beliefs change… so do your actions… and so do your results.
NOTE: To fast-track your progress, I'd recommend exposing yourself to empowering, motivating & inspiring information on a regular basis.
This will help you to build an "abundance consciousness", and change your deepest beliefs faster. It also helps if you avoid reading the news!
Basically, the argument is that when you imagine something repeatedly, it eventually becomes accepted as "real" by your subconscious mind.
So, in a very real way, your imagination dictates the level of success you can expect to enjoy in life.
Dr Maxwell Maltz was perhaps the first person to understand this ground-breaking truth. He said "Your subconscious cannot tell the difference between a real memory and a vividly imagined one".
This means that by vividly imagining yourself performing in an "ideal" manner, you can "trick" your subconscious mind into believing that you already perform like this!
And when you repeat this over the days, weeks, and months… your subconscious will be CONVINCED that you are already a top performer!
This is perhaps the Key Secret of Creative Visualization: your subconscious mind believes that your visualizations have "really happened", and so your self-image changes…
... and so does your behaviour… meaning you get better results, effortlessly.
Secrets of Creative Visualization #5
Visualization is Just As Good As Physical Practice!
Allow me to introduce you to the crazy world of electromyography (EMG).
EMG shows a real-time analysis of the brain's instructions to the body, by recording electrical impulses sent from motor-neurons to muscles.
And EMG proves that Visualization creates identicalpatterns in the brain as actually doing the real thing!
In short, your brain acts the same during Visualization as it does when actually taking part in the activity being imagined.
So - according to the science - it's just as good for you to visualize something as to physically practice!
One theory for this is that Visualization creates new neural pathways in your brain; thus making it easier for you to do the real thing.
As Lynne McTaggart noted in The Intention Experiment:
"Just the thought is enough to produce the neural instructions to carry out the physical act... ... Mental rehearsal lays down the tracks just as well as physical practice"
So, be sure to practice in a "no pressure" environment - in your mind - and your brain believes that you are practicing for real!
Secrets of Creative Visualization #6
Visualization Works Best At Full Speed !
One of the best-kept Secrets of Creative Visualization is that you must visualize at normal speed. It's gotta be "full speed ahead, Captain!"
So, if you're visualizing a sales call… make sure that you allow time for the ringing phone and the introductions… in fact, ask every question (and get every answer!) in real-time.
Think of yourself as Jack Bauer in 24… by slowing down and savouring every moment!
NOTE: You might think it's even better to slow down your visualization even more - by watching yourself act in slow motion. In fact, this is counter-productive, as EMG research shows this produces a different muscle-response pattern in the brain!
In short, visualize in real-time. Don't speed up, and don't slow down.
The more realistic your visualization, the better the results you'll experience.
Secrets of Creative Visualization #7
Visualization Needs Emotion !
The final of our Secrets of Creative Visualization is that emotion is the turbo-charger which will dramatically intensify - and speed up - your results.
When you add emotion to a sensory-rich Visualization, you "make it real" to your subconscious mind.
So, be sure to add positive emotions - excitement, wealth, confidence, joy (etc!) - to your Visualizations.
The key is to experience the same feelings as if you had already achieved the goal in real life.
Sure, this takes practice… but it's worth it.
Not only will you get results quicker… but you'll feel amazing as you do.
I guess that's the last of the Secrets of Creative Visualization: it feels awesome to visualize!
