What is Creative Visualization and Why Use It?

Are you living the life you dreamed of? Or does life seem to just “happen” to you?

If you can’t enthusiastically say “Yes! I’m definitely living the life of my dreams!” then intentional creative visualization could be the key to your ideal future.

“Creative Visualization is the technique of using your imagination to create what you want in your life.” ~ Shakti Gawain 

It “involves understanding and aligning yourself with the natural principles that govern the workings of our universe, and learning to use these principles in the most conscious and creative way.” (Gawain)

Yes! You can use your imagination to actually create things you want in your life! People have been doing this since the dawn of man.

In 1979, teacher Shakti Gawain published an excellent book called “Creative Visualization”. She walks the readers through the process of making a conscious connection with their higher selves.

This connection allows the individual to make incredible changes in their life.

Creative Visualization is actually as old as the world.

“It is your natural power of imagination, the basic creative energy of the universe which you use constantly, whether or not you are aware of it.” (Gawain). Every living creature has used creative visualization, whether they called it that or not. 

“Every moment of your life is infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a clear enough request, and everything your heart desires must come to you.” (Gawain).

Without knowing about creative visualization, it could seem highly improbable that you can actually make your hearts desires become realities.

We are always creating with our visualizations. The problem is… we are too often creating things we do NOT want! 

“Because of our own deep-seated negative concepts about life, we have automatically and unconsciously expected and imagined lack, limitation, difficulties, and problems to be our lot in life. To one degree or another that is what we have created for ourselves.” (Gawain)

Why Use Creative Visualization

Actually, we are always using creative visualization. The key is to intentionally use creative visualization to create the things we truly desire. It could be peace, a state of calmness, better relationships, a more satisfying career, a bigger family.

You can choose to use creative visualization on any part of your life you want to improve. 

When you aren’t intentional about using creative visualization, it can feel as if life is just happening to you and you have no real control over it. Whatever happens, happens. 

Fortunately, you DO have control over what you experience in life. You can use the power of your mind to connect with your higher Self and intentionally visualize and create beautiful things in literally all areas of your existence. 

If you are desiring better health, you can make that a reality. 

If you are wanting a peaceful home environment, you can make that a reality.

If you are dreaming of writing a book, you can make that a reality. 

There is no limit to what you can create in your life once you learn the secrets to intentionally using Creative Visualization.

To practice Creative Visualization, I highly recommend using the Creative Visualization Workbook by Shakti Gawain. 

I would love to hear what you have been able to intentionally create in your life! Remember, without intentionally using creative visualization, our fears and negative influences create unwanted things in our lives.

Take control right now! You can do this! I believe in you!
