Visualization: A HOW-TO Guide

So you wanna be a mystic? So do we all, darling. The beautiful fact is that we all CAN be mystics, if we can only learn to channel our energies in the right direction. Visualization can be used for a variety of ends, 
from something as abstract as sending a message to someone else who is far 
away,  to something as concrete as curing a toothache. There are as many ways to visualize as there are people. This is a method that I have found useful in expunging disease from my system. I have outlined it here, with the hope that readers can use it or adapt upon it to come up with a system that suits them.

A. Believing in Your Power

In order for any visualization technique to be effective, you must knowthat it is easily within your capacity to make your desired outcome reality. This is a very basic exercise, which even the least psychically developed people can successfully complete. Skeptics, however, must check their disbelief at the door.


B. Creating a Space that Suits You

Successful channeling necessitates a state of utter calm, including a space in which you feel utterly at home. It should be a place where no one can see you or interrupt you for a solid block of time. You should have somewhere to sit or lie where your body is resting comfortably.Some people find lying down on a carpeted floor the most comfortable;others prefer to sit up, so they don't fall 
asleep. I personally like to stand in the shower under hot running water. The key is to find a position that allows you to forget about your body, and let 
your meditation be the only thing on your mind.


C. Developing Slow, Deep Breathing Patterns

Breathing should be from the diaphragm. Take a slow, deep breath in through your nose; take the same amount of time to exhale it through your mouth. Practice your breathing until it becomes ingrained as routine. From time to time in your meditation, check to ensure that you are maintaining this slow, deep pattern of breathing. This is what calms you, centers you, and allows you to focus on the issues at hand.


D. Focussing In On Your Goal.

Before you begin your meditation, you should have a clear, concise vision of what you want to attain.If you are sick, and trying to get healthy, picture the disease in your body moving in a fluid path OUT of your body. Imagine a vacuum at the exit point sucking the illness out of your system; a vacuum so strong that it will not forget the tiniest scrap of  disease existing in your
thumbnail. When I discovered a new, rather large mole in my back, I
used the mole as the exit point, and found when I looked at it that even
the mole had disappeared. This is a very powerful exercise. You may
feel drained of energy once it is completed.   

 If you are trying to relay a message to someone in another room, or another country, bring an image of this person to the foreground of your mind. Believe that this person is as physically close as they appear to you, and tell them, in distinct words in your mind, what you need them to know. This is challenging, because you are more than likely speaking to the other person's subconscious mind: very few of us have set up the receptors in our brains that allow us to pick 
up and decode this sort of message. But know that it has been delivered. 
(i.e., saying "Grandpa's dead; the funeral's on Tuesday." probably won't 
work. saying "Call home as soon as you can; it's urgent." is a message 
that will rarely fail.)

If there is a major change you would like to make in yourself or your life,you must envision yourself living the more fulfilled existence that you imagine. Picture a trusted companion, a thriving career, or a more confident you. Imagine this so strongly that it is reality, in your brain. If you build it, YOU will come--to a greater understanding of the steps you must take to get to where you want to be.


CAUTION: Because visualization is so powerful and effective, it does carry an element of danger with it. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, is the most underrated statement of all time. You DO have the power to make almost anything happen for you. You DON'T necessarily have the power to deal with the repercussions.

Curing disease is very straightforward. You are acting on yourself, by yourself, and there is very little room for error. Just make sure to do a thorough  job--don't leave any cancer lingering in places it shouldn't be.

Sending messages is a little trickier, but still fundamentally basic. Here, the only rule is to stay positive. Sending someone sinister messages can bounce back upon you, creating illness, or, in extreme cases, death. As long as your messages are trying to help the other person, you will experience no side effects from this 
exercise. But, ah, wishing for things. If only a genie were here, he would have a
good laugh. 

For the gods, like genies, are tricksters. If you tell them youwant to be worth more money than your neighbor, they'll put you in a brothel where your rates are higher than the  woman in the room next to you. If you say you want to win the Lotto 6/49, they'll set you up to lose it the next day. Thegods, or the one God, or the unseen forces that guide us, they feel they know best, and they  will seek every opportunity they find to remind us of this.

If you are lonely and single, and fixated on one particular crush, do NOTwish for this particular person to end up in your arms: they might haveherpes; they might be debilitating to your self-esteem. If it isn'thappening naturally, it is probably wrong. Instead, focus on tuning intoand projecting the most attractive qualities about yourself. Meditatet oward becoming a sexually confident creature. THIS will land the right person in your path at the right time.
