There are a number of different visualization techniques you can use within the Law of Attraction, and interestingly not all of them involve seeing images in the mind.

Of course the most common visualization technique described, involves trying to achieve a kind of holographic state, where you not only see an image in the mind, but you also try and engage all of the other senses, smell, touch, taste and sound.

This is very wonderful and can be quite resfreshing, but unless you understand what it is you are trying to achieve, it’s not going to do you much good.

The first and most important thing to remember with any kind of visualization technique is that you must be consistant, you must use the method every day, and I will explain why.

When we visualize, we are not sending out a request to the universe, then waiting for it to respond by the law of attraction. Visualization techniques are designed to create a brand new neural structure in your brain, based around your new image of reality.

When we visualize on a consistent basis, we continue to strengthen the neural connections for our new image of reality. The purpose of this construction work is to create a level of belief and expectation within us that will be powerful enough to have an effect with the law of attraction.

If you would like to understand more about the science behind visualizing and creating neural structures, you can read the article on my home page

But let is now take a look at some of the visualization techniques we can use, and how to get the most out of them.

Holographic Visualization
As I mentioned before the most commonly mentioned method of visualization is holographic visualization, so we start there.

What we are attempting to achieve during a holographic visualization is the maximum sense of feeling about a particular image of reality, and here is what you need to do.

1. Get yourself to a comfortable place free from distraction, you will need at least 10 minutes.
2. Settle your mind as much as possible, and control your breathing, you may wish to use meditation techniques.
3. Once your mind is quiet, begin by bringing up a picture of your new reality in your mind, it is best to keep it simple, one thing at a time.
4. Hold that image in your minds eye then slowly begin to consider the other senses around that image.
5. Go into as much detail as possible, by doing this you start to associate previously unattached neural connections to this new reality.
6. You should at this point begin to generate associated feeling with the image, this is very important, because whenever you feel something strongly, you create a series of chemicals in the brain that actually strengthen neural connections.
7. Hold this image and particularly the feelings for at least 10 minutes.
8. Before you finish, hold a sense of gratitude for this new reality, this also helps to strengthen the connections.

Again it is important to do this each day, consistency is a great key to many things.

Guided Visualization
The next visualization technique we will look at is called Guided Visualization or Meditation.

Guided Meditation is particularly good for those who have trouble settling the mind, it can assist in directing you to feelings of a positive nature, allowing the conscious mind to relax.

A guided meditation uses 3 main things, music, spoken word and story.
The music allows the conscious mind to become distracted and also creates times of emotion throughout the meditation.

With the spoken word, the guide takes you on a journey, often using metaphors within the story to open the sub conscious to new possibilities. The more you listen to the guided meditation the more your brain builds the new structure of that possitive reality.

Daily Visualization
The next visualization technique may seem almost to easy, but I find it is actually the most practical and benificial of all the methods.

It’s very simple, any time you become aware that your thinking of your dreams, or considering one of your intentions, hold an image in your mind at that moment, just for a few seconds or as long as you are able.

You will find over time, this kind of practice becomes habitual, and the more you do this, the easier it becomes.

Conclusion
As I have said before, the main purpose of visualization techniques is to create pathways in the brain dedicated to your new image of reality.
It is good to spend time visualizing, but it is more important to do it consistently.

Happy Visualizing
