Have you ever tried the technique of visualization? So many tend to think it is hard and requires much effort , when what makes visualization so effective is how easy it actually is.
To practice visualization you need only be able to focus on a positive that you are desiring in your life. For instance, I use to visualize my sister and nephews sitting in a meeting with me and at one point I actually visualized one of my nephews at one of my yearly celebrations. I would close my eyes and think of the meeting place , down to the “T”; what all the chairs looked like, where he would be sitting, the look on his face, the feelings that I would have while this was actually taking place. I could literally feel deep down inside , what I would feel if he ever did get clean and come to one of my celebrations. It felt as though the event was taking place inside of me. Pretty cool if you ask me. I am glad to say that my sister and both nephews are clean now and I have sat in a meeting with all 3 of them and my youngest nephew was at my celebration this past January!!
Visualization takes practice , but its not a difficult task. At first I would do well until I came upon the feelings part. I knew that I had to feel the feelings behind each visualization; what I would actually feel were it taking place, but when those feelings would start to present themselves, I would shut down the visualization immediately. As I have grown in my recovery and gotten to know ‘Wendy” a little better I have been able to continue the visualizations through to the end, feelings and all. Its been pretty cool.
Whatever you decide to visualize; make sure you are clear and exact about your visualization; down to the colors, taste, feelings, places etc. Then focus on just that for a few minutes a day and see what happens.
I hope that you will give Visualization a chance to show you just how magical this Universe can be. It was made for your good; take advantage of it!
