Power of Visualisation


Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye



The Power of Visualization ... I still remember the day I was introduced to this concept during my college. A war veteran had come for a guest lecture and he spoke to us about the possibilities and power of visualization.

At a tender age that we were at, all of us had our turmoils to go through ..the insecurities of a career, of a happy life, of earning money , of climbing the corporate ladders and of being known.

And thinking about all that that lay ahead for us always gave us jitters more than anything else. The never ending question of what will be and what will not be.

And here he came with that age that exhilarated experience, eyes that soaked depth and voice that reverberated contentment and accomplishment. He came with such a fresh breath of optimism and hope.He spoke to us about how our body and mind calibrates and aligns to what our heart visualizes. They work in tandem with what the heart wants and make our dreams our realities.

And it made sense and it makes sense even now. Its not the mind but your heart you should ask for visualizing all that you want in life. And deep inside there will be a reaction and unknowingly you will start walking towards your dream and you will get all that is needed the strength, the conviction and more than that the belief that what you want is what you will get.

Many times I have seen people running towards things in life not because deep inside they want it, but because at that "point of time in their life" that is what they are expected to do. It can be anything from being in love to being married, getting a job to getting a house, going on vacation to having children. And in all that more than achieving and relishing that achievement,they end up struggling..struggling in their own insecurities, so called failures and their inability to "get there".

I feel the fault is not in how much they are trying but it is in for what are they trying so hard. Have they really thought through deep inside and visualized themselves feeling happy and accomplished once they reach there. Or they are just "also running" because that is what they are supposed to do.

Whatever I have seen in my life and life around me, I very truly believe that our heart and our visualization is our biggest strength. All that we want in life can be a reality only if we really want it deep inside and if we can visualize ourselves smiling and feeling proud once we reach our destination.

So my friend, all that you may want in life you can get it. Just close your eyes and let your hear visualize the moment..The moment when you have achieved what you wanted and see yourself content and happy being there. Because sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.

  4. My yoga teacher used to tell us to close our eyes and with a calm mind try to visualize a flame between our eyebrows. It was difficult initially but with some concentration succeeded.

  5. "Don't hate things in your life. Remember at one time you had really wanted each one of them" Is also a flip side of this thing.

    1. Yes you are right ... Its OK to not want what you wanted badly sometime back...the key is that in the conviction of desire in that moment

  7. does it apply here that a professor of mine used to say to us, "The eye sees what the mind knows to see!" He was my pathology teacher in dental college and he was talking about tissue slides… hahaha! Jokes apart, don't you think this ideology is another way of looking at the Law of Attraction? The eye will ultimately see what the mind sees :) Great post :)
