Manifestation & Visualization

Welcome to Day 2 of Establish a Positive Mindset,

A challenge here on Insight Timer crafted to help you break free from negative thought patterns,

Overcome self-limiting beliefs and embrace a mindset of abundance and possibility.

Let's jump in to today's session.

Hey there,

My name is Lisa and welcome to the Establish a Positive Mindset challenge here on Insight Timer.

In today's session I'm going to guide you through a practice on visualization and manifestation and share with you the importance of visualization and manifestation when it comes to cultivating a more positive mindset.

So what is manifestation?

In simple terms,

The definition of manifestation simply means to show for.

For example,

The new buds on the trees manifest signs of a new season.

Manifestation for me is the power we human beings have to create whatever we visualize,

Think of,

Or desire.

And I truly,

Truly believe in that because look at how much evidence we have.

From mastering the technique of creating our own fire,

To the ancient pyramids,

To the printing press,

To planes and wifi,

And this meditation you are listening to right now which is technically on a phone or some sort of computer device that is held in the palm of your hands.

We human beings have been gifted with the power to think our desires and dreams into our reality,

And to even change an undesired or unwanted reality around us.

It's a pretty magical tool if you think about it.

So why is this tool so important in building a positive mindset?

Many times we as human beings only see the side of this very vast world where things happen to us.

We sometimes forget about the energy that is given to us that helps us create a better future not just for ourselves,

But for the world as a whole.

Especially when our intentions are born from a place of no harm onto others and love.

I will always mention the I have a dream speech by Dr.

Martin Luther King.

Fast forward to the present day.

Though we still have a lot of work to do,

The idea of it gives me chills when I see how far we have come.

I have seen many people from different backgrounds have the opportunity to study together,

To love one another,

To learn from each other,

And work together to continue to fight for that dream,

That vision.

That is the power of seeing what you desire,

Believing in that vision,

And then living from that vision,

That energy,

With love,

Truth,

And intention.

To manifest something from a dream,

Or a thought,

Or a vision,

Or a hope in your heart can feel like an overwhelming task.

So if you feel like you are sometimes powerless,

And your life feels like you are a leaf blowing in the wind,

Remember that you have this innate power.

So with that,

Let's get into a practical exercise you can use to strengthen the muscles within this innate magic of yours.

Take a moment to recognize your breathing,

And we are trained to sometimes forget about the power of our breath and how it helps us function and think clearer,

Just like we sometimes forget about this innate power to cultivate and create and manifest.

So take a moment to release the outside world,

And tune on in to this gift of life,

This breath within you,

And from this place take a moment to visualize a wish,

A hope,

A dream,

Maybe a goal,

And if that's hard,

Simply think about you at your absolute happiest.

Maybe you can remember a time when this similar energy came up,

Maybe you don't have to visualize,

But maybe you can begin to feel what this energy senses like in your body.

You can notice and observe the emotions that come up for you,

You can take notice of the words and people and objects that may come to mind,

And simply just practice letting this vision,

This goal,

This hope,

This dream,

Breathe with you,

Live with you,

Without the chain of naysaying and doubt and negative thinking,

Releasing all of that criticism and judgment and simply just letting yourself be free in this vision.

A last note on helping with any negative thoughts that try to interrupt your connection to this visualization,

Is to simply tell yourself,

I have the power to live my life and these visions are my life and these visions are my birthright,

You were dreaming before you were even conscious of the fact that you were dreaming.

From here you can set an intention that will allow you to live from this vision,

It can simply be a way to invite this energy into your life,

Maybe if you're visualizing a soulmate,

It's treating yourself the way your soulmate would treat you,

Or if it's a new project,

Maybe honoring one thing that will bring you closer to completing that project,

Or maybe you can manifest an intention by simply asking yourself,

What intention should I live from today that best serves this vision?

What intention should I live from today that best serves this vision?

From this place,

Begin to keep the wisdom,

The feelings,

The sensations of this vision,

And don't just forget about it,

But as you begin to connect back to the world around you,

Can you take this energy with you throughout your day?

Can you truly live with the intention,

With the energy,

From this vision,

From these feelings,

From this hope,

Dream,

Goal,

From your bliss?

Take a nice big deep inhale into the body,

And exhale,

Sigh out.

Take a moment to check in with how you're feeling.

Remember that this is a practice,

And whenever you may feel disconnected from this power from your dreams and visions,

Maybe you hear doubt around you or negativity,

Return back to this space,

Return back to this vision,

To you and your dream and your bliss state.

Know that no one can take this away from you.

It is divinely yours.

And when you are ready,

Take a moment to come back to a space of reflection and release.

I invite you to share your dreams,

Your visions,

Your bliss state out loud on the discussion forum because the art of making these subconscious dreams more conscious is saying it or writing it down or saying it out loud,

Sharing it with others without fear or judgment or criticism,

That's such a healthy place.

I feel if we shared our dreams with others from a place of love,

Without judgment,

Without criticism,

The world would have so many more new innovations and inventions because we would be supporting each other throughout the process of manifestation.

Feel free to share how this practice went for you,

And maybe what came up for you.

I thank you so much for taking the time to practice with me today,

And may all your hopes,

Visions,

And bliss state manifest into reality.

Enjoy this journey,

And I look forward to connecting with you again.

So many blessings,

My friend.

Namaste.
