Anyone have any experiences with visualization?

I've recently found about visualization techniques that can be used to shape the world around you. Basically you visualize what you want and your thoughts will began to change the world to better suite your desires. To say the least I'm intrigued and do believe it's quite possible. So I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with anything like this. If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'll provide a link below that will better explain what I'm talking about.

That crap is to suck in insecure and broken people. Makes them feel special so they buy into all that new age nonsense.

I have a close family member who sells this kind of snake oil. I can assure you, its BS

Yes, I have found that when i strongly emit an emotion or a thought it tends to come back to me in unexpected ways!

For example, the other night I was rushing to pick my boyfriend up from work and I was worried I was going to be late. So i started speeding and getting angry at other drivers (tut tut me) and after the first red light, I thought "great, now i am going to hit all the red lights".... and suddenly I started to hit EVERY SINGLE red light, I kid you not, and every driver in front of me was going extremely slow.

Lesson learnt for me

I have not tried so much with positive visualization, but it would be interesting to see the effects.

Self-Assurance and repetition of certain words to yourself are much more powerful in terms of shaping the world around you.

"I can do it" said about 20 times before actually doing the task will create far better results than anything else.

One of the first things I read on ATS was this thread and I put it into practice.

Obviously you were never crystal clear about wanting to spell correctly.

Only a real defeated individual with no confidence or self esteem would have to do that.

The rest of us rely on knowledge and past experience.

Yes, the key is to be clear in your desires and thoughts, then visualization becomes real and you may then reap. If this is the way to self-assurance, then bring it on.

I was not ten minutes ago attempting to navigate the self publishing process to publish the book I have written on just that very subject, so synchronicity is an interesting concept. Here I thought writing the book was the hard part lol getting it thru the self publication process is a literal mind screw that challenges my attempts at positive thought in the process. All the positive thought in the world doesn't help you format a cover template lol.

It is a very interesting subject once you start working on your visualization skills. Meditating with intent is a great way to practice keeping your visualization focus. I suggest starting with focus on the breath, as in breathing in to a 5 count, hold for a five count and breathe out to a five count focusing on breathing in good energy or chi and breathing out your negativity. As you progress in practice your ability to focus your thoughts on one thing will get better and better.

This is part of basic Chi-kung, and just practicing this basic method will produce some interesting changes in your mindset and physical body as you begin to oxygenate your body and brain and give it the life force it needs to function properly. Proper breathing is a good first step in making positive changes in your world, as when you feel better you react differently to the diversity that comes your way.

You can use visualization to take your awareness anywhere and do anything you want to do once you learn to concentrate. The power of human thought is amazing and we are creators in our own right. If you doubt this simply look around you and everything you see is the product of human thought...realized.

Ignore the people in here trying to bring the negativity. Some people never dig into anything. I was once the same way, but over the years I have had my eyes pried open whether I wanted to see or not. There is most definitely more to the world than meets the eye, and some folks just haven't had their moment of realization yet.

Good luck on your path.

It remains interesting. Peace....

Oh, and here I was working hard towards my goals like a sucker! Why didn't I think of that? Of course! Something from nothing, the laws of physics are probably wrong anyways.

Thanks for the info!.

Yes, after all, the creator made us in his/her/it's own image...so we can manipulate energy.

We do manipulate energy, power plants use spinning turbines to create an electrical current at 60hz.

How did you become so smart?

Oh please, you just claimed that human beings have cosmic powers, that we are special somehow, and then you spew a quote like that?

Give me a break.

I started pursuing this as a means to relax from my stressful 60 hr a week worklife. My wife and I took a meditation class and I had no intent to do anything profound other than sleep. In a very short time my perceptions changed as I began to have one awakening after another just from simple meditation.

There is not much of anything that I have ever tried that has produced such profound benefits with so little effort. If you put half the effort into practicing instead of trolling you might just change your own perceptions without even realizing it. Hard for me sometimes to realize that you are just me giving myself a hard time, probably just because of the negative mindset I have allowed myself to fall into today. It all feeds on itself and manifests no matter if you intend it or not.

We have to learn that every thought counts, and negativity and ridicule have never improved anything.When more of us catch on to that simple concept the world will become a better place.

Peace...

But, where's your high physics jargon now?

Anyone else with experiences not a physics lesson?

Don't need em. I used to think religious people were batsh1t crazy. Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons, the kids in the Satan cult who spray paint pentagrams at the park. Now I invite them into my home when they come knocking because as wrong as I think they are in their beliefs, they still make a hell of a lot more sense, and base more of their beliefs on factual evidence than the whole lots of you new age nutjobs.

Plus, as I stated earlier, I have a very close family member who has somehow convinced thousands of people that they are an authority on the subject, and she's an absolute fraud, and so is the whole concept.
