I believe in the power of visualization and law of attraction, etc. Sort of at least...(keep reading). I have used these methods many times, occasionally  intentionally, but often more unconsciously. I could share example after example of things in my life that I seem to have manifested. ✨ Frankly, I live such a dream life that I could be a poster child for manifesting one’s dreams! I like the idea that these practices work like virtual magic. That notion is attractive to my nature. Like, if you wish hard enough you can nearly make any dream come true. But the truth is that I see visualization and law of attraction (LOA) not as magic powers, but as tremendously powerful tools.

For instance I have visualized and overcome several of my fears recently. I let myself imagine, in great detail, some things that were terrifying for me actually coming true. I let it all play out in my mind, and guess what? It wasn’t so bad! So I worked through and overcame things that were really holding me back from living my dreams using the tool of visualization in this way. I didn’t just manifest myself to a better level of living. I didn’t  sit and repeat a mantra, like “I live my dream life. I live my dream life. Ooommmm...” Instead I used the TOOL of visualization to work through my mental blocks. 

Visualization, or LOA, also helps you specify what it is in life that you want. You can’t visualize something that’s vague and unspecific. So just that process of clarifying our desires helps us feel like we are then making them happen afterwards. Really great things can be happening to you in life, but if you’re unclear what the hell your real dreams are then you could be living said dreamy life and feel rather meh 😏 about it. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Do you use the practices of visualization, Law of Attraction, and manifestation? Do you see them as super powers, magic, tools, or maybe something else?
