\"\"<\/a>Q:\u00a0 How can you do creative visualization if you don\u2019t know what you want to create?\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong>A:\u00a0 You don’t need to see yourself doing anything specific except laughing, feeling happy, being with people you pour love out onto and feel love being poured back in to you.\u00a0 You don’t need to know who those people will be but you can remember the feeling you felt before, that infatuated all engulfing loving exchange, and use that thought repeated over and over in your mind, to fuel the attraction of the new people and circumstances to you. You don’t have to know what the job will be, you just have to imagine what it would feel like to be somewhere where you’ve found your niche, where people loved and respected you, appreciated your work, found you very inspiring and a meaningful part of the business and everyone made plenty of money and had a blast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just think those thoughts, actually copy and paste that paragraph into a separate file and keep it and read it over a few times a day.\u00a0You will start adding to it specific things you’d like to spend time visualizing ahead of time.\u00a0\u00a0 For example, like finding your niche.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe begin your visualization in the form of a self guided meditation:<\/span><\/p>\n

A Meditation To Meet with Your Spiritual Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n

You begin with some deep breaths, and you find yourself walking along a garden path.\u00a0 There are beautiful blossoms everywhere and on your right is a body of water.\u00a0 The stone path follows alongside the water’s edge and it curves along beautiful blooming plants and tall colorful grasses.\u00a0 Across the water against the deep blue of the sky, you can see a gazebo and you realize that is your destination.\u00a0 You are following the winding path\u00a0to the\u00a0gazebo, where\u00a0you will meet with your spiritual guide.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you walk slowly along the path gazing from the\u00a0gardens to the gazebo, you ponder the question you would like answered on this visit.\u00a0\u00a0“What is my path?\u00a0 What am I meant to do?\u00a0 How do I\u00a0discover that?”\u00a0 What you’re really asking is, “Relative to this particular topic: (choose just one at a time), what is my next step?”\u00a0\u00a0 As you walk along, your mind begins to repeat inside itself, “Next step; next step; tell me, show me, my next step.\u00a0 Tell me, show me, my next step.”<\/span><\/p>\n

By the time you reach the gazebo, you are fully focused on asking to be shown your next step.\u00a0 As you approach the entrance, inside you see sitting a figure, draped in a soft hooded garment, silhouetted against the sun.\u00a0 With a hand gesture, you are invited to come\u00a0in and be seated.\u00a0 You realize you are communicating mind to mind, thought to thought.\u00a0 \u201cI know why you are here.\u00a0 Ask me your question and listen closely to what you hear in response.\u00a0 You may think some of these thoughts are coming from your own mind, but I will be speaking to you as well.\u00a0 Listen carefully and have a notebook nearby to write in.\u00a0 As you begin to write,\u00a0do not edit or think too much about it, just let the words flow out onto the paper.\u00a0 After you leave here, you can later read the paper and contemplate what I have said to you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, you sit in silence for awhile, just listening, breathing, enjoying sitting in the silence in the presence of this wise holy being.\u00a0 You make notes as you feel guided to.\u00a0 “What is a next step for me?”\u00a0 You know more notes will follow the more often you visit the gazebo.\u00a0 After several minutes, it is time to go and you begin walking the garden path back together.\u00a0 You feel the presence and you know some kind of energy or shaki has been transmitted to you.\u00a0 You can almost walk this garden path with your eyes closed, you can so feel the energy of the path, of the garden and of your guide.\u00a0 As you exit the garden, you turn to say goodbye and find you are alone once again.\u00a0 However, now you realize you were never alone in the first place, and will never be alone again.\u00a0 You realize you only need to ask to be shown\u00a0the next step.\u00a0 You only need to visualize yourself feeling happy, doing meaningful work and being with loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n
