| Imagination
- simple as that - how you use to daydream in school, someone is
speaking with you; you are thinking of something totally different
-because...you're bored - and feel like being somewhere else. Imagination
- an escape - a coping mechanism. Without it, in some instances,
we're prisoners of present time! Remember as kids we lived in our
imagination?
Imagination
- imaging - imagery - expectation of what is desired with the motivations
suggested to believe it to reality.
There
are seven ways we "image" in our minds:
General
imaging: visualizing oneself as healthy, feeling confident, enjoying
life - used for overall achievement instead of specific results. |
Spontaneous
imaging: a thought without consciously requesting the image.
Recalling an incident at age seven, suddenly there you are, seven
again, reliving that incident as if it was present time.
Concrete
imaging: picturing something in detail that you want to happen/change
in your life.
Abstract
imaging: seeing the object you most desire in front of a red
circle with a red bar across the food - that's the universal sign for
"Refrain From".
Process
imaging: visualizing a process by which the desired goal is achieved.
Induced
imaging: consciously choosing for a specific intent or purpose.
Guided
imaging: is scripted to bring about a specific scenario. |
As
you can see, there are many roads to "Imagining" for your highest benefit.
The use of Guided Imagery with positive suggestions intensifies
the suggestion, making it much more powerful! What you
think
and imagine in your subconscious mind tends to actualize, become
reality. In Mark 11:14, Jesus seems to speak that imagery with
prayer causes the prayer to be more effective. Albert Einstein
stated "Imagination is your preview of coming events". The mental
picture you hold of yourself is what directs and controls you. You
can use your imagination to improve your life on every level and dimension.
There
can be no reality without an image (thought) in the mind. Want to
change a habit, or lifestyle, change the image that the mind holds.
Guided imagery is an excellent way to achieve your desired, positive changes.
Change your mind, change your body. You're worth the investment! |
