Your Life's Vision - Articles Surfing

As the new year begins, it is always a good idea to take alook at your life's vision to decide if you are on-track ornot. When I say life's vision I mean the vision your soulhas for your life. If you haven't taken the time to vision,I'll give you a technique to accomplish it. If you haveyour vision already use this technique to re-energizing it.

Let's make a distinction between visioning andvisualization, which I call imagining.

Imagining

This process is to visualize some thing or situation usingyour imagination. Perhaps you want a new job. Let's usethe desire for a new job and the process as a demonstration.

1. Sit quietly in a place where it is comfortable. Thisplace should be relatively dark and quiet so your senseswill not engage in the outer world so easily. Then as youare sitting take a deep breath and let out all the air. Now breathe normally and close your eyes. Allow youawareness to focus on your breath. If your mind is busythinking of all kinds of things you may want to chant - usethe word "relax". Just repeat it over and over until yourmind is quiet your breathing steady.

2. Next, imagine yourself in this new position/job.

3. Imagine all of the detail in this picture. Look aroundin your mind's eye picture and notice the detail. Noticecolors, what if anything is being said what it feels like.If this is a still picture see if you can turn it into amovie.

4. Once you have this picture and detail the next criticalstep is to experience what it feels like when you areworking in this new position. To do this look at thepicture/movie and notice how wonderful or fulfilling itfeels. Notice this in your body right now as if theexperience is actually happening.

By combining what you see hear and what you feel in yourimagination, you present to the mind a circumstance-a moldinto which the universe pours reality. Imagining is veryimportant to the creation process. Being able to imaginewhat it is you want to create is a necessary part ofconscious creation. You may want to practice this severaltimes. I sat for two weeks on and off doing this processuntil I just couldn't any more. The results showed upwithin two weeks.

There are several cautions. If you have doubt about thecircumstance you are imagining you are actually impedingits creation. The more doubt, the less likely the creationwill take place. The reason why you create what you havealways had is you have faith in what you have alreadycreated and believe it to be your truth. The second cautionis not to expect too short a time frame. It will happenwhenever you have fully accepted your desire as true ofyour life. The time it takes to clear your doubts is theamount of time that will pass before you experience whatyou wish to create. Practice this process daily to chipaway at your resistance to having what you desire.

Visioning

Unlike imaging, visioning is a function of the intuitivemind. It allows you to tap into your soul and "see" yourfuture. Visioning is sitting in the silence of meditationand allowing yourself (ego) to dissolve into the somethingbeyond the conscious mind and beyond the Local Story to theGreater Story. It is from this place that you can "see"your life and how it unfolds for the highest good. Thisgives your life a reference point to determine if you areon-track.

When I first visioned my life, I sat in a quiet placewhere I wouldn't be disturbed for at least three hours.This would give me time to quiet my conscious mind and moveinto the silence. Some people take longer and some lesstime to accomplish this same thing. When I sat and foundthe silence I saw parts of a movie playing. The overalltheme was helping people to find deeper meaning in theirlives and to use my intuition to open people to theirvision.

If you haven't captured your life's vision yet, begin bytaking this question into meditation: "What is the highestgood that I can allow to come through me?" This questioncan open the door as you move into a deeper, more relaxedmeditative state. If the vision doesn't come the firsttime you sit - try again. It may take several sittings.Few of us have cultivated our intuitive powers. Is it anywonder then why the first time or two or three we come upblank?

Furthermore, your purpose in this life can be more readilyunderstood when you catch your life's vision. This visionis the "internal picturing" of your purpose unfolding-thereason why you exist. When you create a life plan orblueprint for your life part of the plan must be to visionyour life. Take the time to catch the vision of your lifeand watch the miracles happen.
