Creative Visualisation
Creative visualization is a mind tool that enables you to consciously design your life. There is nothing mysterious about it and it is the art of creating powerful mental images for any desired outcome in your future. Everything has to first exist in the mind before it is manifested.
A concentrated thought with intention is powerful energy. Thoughts are endowed with a creative power that shapes our life, and attracts what we think about. Powerful thoughts, are accepted by our subconscious mind, which then has the ability to align our mindset, habits and actions in accordance to our desires and dreams.
Thoughts can travel from one mind to another, and if they are strong enough, they can unconsciously be picked up by people, who are in a position to help us achieve our desires and goals.
Other terms used to describe Creative Visualization include: mental imagery, mind sculpture and mind visualization.
Creative visualization is being successfully used in the fields of health, education, business, athletics and creative arts.
In one of the most well-known studies on Creative Visualization in sports, Russian scientists compared four groups of Olympic athletes in terms of their training schedules:
- Group 1 = 100% physical training;
- Group 2 - 75% physical training with 25% mental training
- Group 3 - 50% physical training with 50% mental training
- Group 4 - 25% physical training with 75% mental training
Group 4, with 75% of their time devoted to mental training, performed the best. "The Soviets had discovered that mental images can act as a prelude to muscular impulses."
