Visualized.Feel.Abundance

Hey Folks,

It’s been slightly more then 2 months since I wrote my first post on the “9 Secret Steps To Life Transformation” series. It started with the simple vision that I wanted to pen down my success formula that I had put together through years of trial and error at my own cost. I wanted to share it with you and others like you who are interested to help yourself, which is probably why you are sitting here reading this blog.

I believed that abundance starts with giving and sharing. By sharing this gift, I believed that I will attract more into my life. More experience to gain, more positive people to meet, more things to learn and a more fulfilling life.

It is also my hope that my 9 steps has helped at least some of you in some ways. If it did, thank you. I thank you because, you made my sharing valuable and meaningful. If it had help no one or motivated none, it would have been futile. So, Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

If you have benefited from this series, I welcome you to leave a note or comment here. If you have any suggestion for me to improve, you may leave it here too

Hi Folks,

In the last post, we talk about keeping your dreams alive using “Visualization Method”. Today, we will talk about “Realization Method”. So what is “Realization Method”? Have you heard of these concepts: “Live Your Dreams” or “Fake it until you are successful”?

I came across programs that proposed that if your goal is a dream house or dream car. Buy it! Live it! Your debt will drive you so hard that you will reach your goal in no time! I DON’T buy the idea but then again, it works for some people. I don’t like it because the consequences is too great and you are living beyond your means by doing that!

However, I do subscribe to “Live Your Dreams” or “Fake it until you are successful” in an alternative way, a less drastic approach.

I proposed that if you want to immerse yourself in the feeling of living in your dream home or drive that dream car, find it and RENT it (for a month or 2 if possible). What’s important here is feeling the exciting moments living in your dreams. It will serve as the source of your feelings in your future visualization process.

How about a dream of living a certain lifestyle, can we use this “Realization Method”? Of course, it’s a perfect fit! Karen and myself use this method frequently and here’s an example:

“We had a dream of living in a carefree lifestyle where money is not a problem and we can do whatever we like, however we like it. What we did was to source for some event similar to our dream. In this case, we selected a 3 day 2 night cruise aboard a luxury liner. All meals on the cruise was paid for and we got ourselves a 1st class cabin with balcony plus extra credits to spent. We also set aside an extra budget that would settle any bills that we may get ourselves into (such as visiting the spa for a relaxing massage) during the cruise pre-charged to my credit card. So there we have it, 3 days 2 nights, no money worries, do everything we like dream lifestyle!”

During the stay on the luxury liner, we took photos and videos and enjoyed our carefree lifestyle tremendously. We love the feeling and it served us well in visualization sessions after the cruise. Furthermore, the photos and videos could be made into vision boards and vision movies to bring back the feeling each and every time.

The benefits of this method is that the feeling is real, very very real, it is not an imagination. This is the most effective method I know to help people find the right feeling for their dreams and it will work for anyone. Even for those who told me they don’t know how to feel or what the feeling of achieving their dreams would be like.

So is there a downside to this method? Well, depending on your dreams/goal, you may find it impractical to use this method. For example, if my dream had been “I want to own a 15,000 square feet bungalow (in Singapore), renting it will probably cost me S$30,000 - $50,000 a month for a year, probably more! Buying it is definitely out of the question, for now. It will probably set me back S$10-15 million at least. Hence for this type of dream, I would choose to use “Visualization method” instead of “Realization Method”!

Oh and there is this last method, “Businessman Method”, that will work on huge dreams such as that bungalow dream I mentioned and I’ll share it in the next post. So stay tune, :).

Love,
James

PS: I was tied up with an interview, a brain storming session and a restructuring session for the whole of yesterday. Hence this post was delayed. So sorry about that.

During visualization, one common problem people question is: “ If I am not rich and successful now, how can I lie to myself and imagine that I am rich and successful?”

I have to tell you that visualization works regardless of your current reality. This is because your sub-conscious mind cannot tell the difference between reality and your imagination.

That is why in The Secret movie, Bob Proctor said if you see it (your dreams) in your eyes, you will hold it in your hands.

Whilst visualization is powerful and it can bring you wealth, the opposite is also true. For most people, they think about those events, which they observe most. So if they are always observing negative events, they tend to think how unlucky they are. And these thoughts create more negative events in their life.

So how do you get visualization to work for you rather than against you? This post provides you with some five key secrets: -

(1) Practice

Repetition is the key to success in acquiring any new skills. You have to practice your visualization skills. The good new is the more real your visualization, the more effective you will achieve what you desire.

(2) See Yourself as Third Person

Imagine you are watching a movie in your mind. You are the lead actor or actress in this movie. You are viewing your life as a third person. The key here is when you visualize behind your eyes; your mind treats it as a memory. Memory gets programmed into your subconscious mind and you will begin to form a belief that this memory is true.

(3) Put Emotions into Your Dream

Whatever your dream, always and always feel what you are visualizing. Of course, the emotions you attached to your visualization must be positive vibration. Remember, thoughts alone cannot manifest your dream into reality. The formula to your prosperity = Thoughts plus Positive Emotions

(4) Increase Color and Brightness of a Wanted Scene

You can increase the color and brightness when you visualize the scene, which you have positive emotion about.

(5) Desensitize an Unwanted Scene If a bad scene pops up, change the scene to black and white. This will help to decrease the negative emotions you feel towards the scene. Apply these secrets and let me know if they have help you in visualizing your future!

I applied the above visualization techniques, coupled with the use of my vision board and hearing alpha music soundwaves to accelerate my visualization. I am glad to share results of my vision board.

In my earlier post, I elaborated about you will need 2 ingredients (thoughts and positive energy vibration) to manifest your dreams into reality.

After understanding the importance of positive energy vibration, what is next? How can you generate such energy vibration?

To have positive energy vibration, you need to start by generating the feeling to make you feel as though you have already achieved your dreams.

Today’s post is to show you how I generate and sustain positive energy by creating a vision board.

Creating your vision board allows you to paint your dreams in advance. Whilst you may not have achieve your dreams in reality, but lets start from putting your dreams in current term on a vision board.

We have five senses. We can see, touch, taste, hear, smell. We often hear people say that pictures paint a thousand words. Great movies also often use music to make us feel the emotions within us. When creating your vision board, you want to use as many senses as possible to remind you of your deep emotions towards your dream.

Here are some key points you should use to create a effective vision board:

(1) Connect Your Feelings with The Pictures

You don’t need to spend a lot to create a vision board.

Lets start off by getting a large sheet of white paper (6 feet by 6 feet. In Singapore, we call this mahjong paper).

Next, you need some unwanted magazines so that you can cut them up freely.You are going to flip through these magazines and cut out the pictures which catch your attention.

If you can’t find the appropriate pictures, go to the internet to search for them. Type in the keyword (e.g. red dress,a holiday at Switzerland, a BMW sports car etc) on google or yahoo search engines. Once you find the perfect pictures, print them out with a color printer.

Next, go through these pictures which you have cut out. Ask yourself why do you choose them. At this stage, allow your subconscious feeling to connect with you.

Ask yourself how will you feel if you already have all these things in reality. Remember the feelings because they are going to generate the positive energy vibration.

(2) Keep Those Pictures Which Give You Positive Feelings

After Step 1, you may realize that you do not want some of the pictures you initially thought you wanted.

It is absolutely alright to feel in this way. You have just heightened your awareness level to what exactly will make you feel happy.

We all want different things in life. Thus, what things people desire may not be exactly what you are searching for in your life.

The key is you should only have the things you want on your vision board. There is no compromise on this. Even if you only end up having one picture, so be it.

A vision board, like your life, is a self-discovering journey. Along the way, you may discover other things you appreciate in your life. You can still cut out those pictures and stick them on your vision board.

(3) Use Big Pictures

Use big pictures and big words to represent your dreams. You want to be able to see your vision easily.It is so loud and clear that when you close your eyes and visualize, the pictures appear crystal clear.

(4) Do not Limit Your Imagination

In one of the interview report with Bob Proctor, he said that one common mistake people made was they often go after what they think they can achieve rather than what they really want.

Your task is to declare your true intention to the universe. Do not limit your imagination to what you can ask for based on your perceived value of what you can achieve currently.

You may not know how to go about to achieve the great dreams you have. Don’t worry, this is the Universe’s domain knowledge.

When your energy level and thoughts are in alignment, the universe will show you the way.Your creative mind will open up to attract more opportunities than what you imagine you could.

(5) Pin Your Vision Board At a Convenient Place

Once your vision board is ready, pin it up at a place where you can see it everyday.

Ideally, this place should be somewhere you will see first thing in the morning and last thing before you sleep. For me, this place is my bedroom’s wall facing my bed.

See your vision board twice a day. Remind yourself of the feelings attached to the pictures you have cut out. Carry this feeling with you throughout the day and release it to the universe through your actions.

(6) Add extra senses to Your Vision

Pick up a music which you feel can represent your vision. When looking at your vision, spare 5 minutes to listen to the music. Let the pictures and music fill you up.

If you are dreaming of owning a car, go for a test drive. Remember the leather smell of the BMW you want to own whenever you look at your vision board.

If you know how to create videos, you can also digitise your vision board into a video. You can add pictures and music to make you feel your dreams. You can save your vision board as your screen saver.

Now some of you may still doubt if this works. It absolutely does! How do i know? I did the same thing and in just three weeks, i started to see my vision manifesting into reality.

So don’t doubt the power of a simple vision board!Do share with us the results on your vision board.

Do you have a vision board?

What is a vision board? It is a board whereby you cut out pictures of things you desire, stick them on the board and visionalize having these things in your life already.

So a vision board is a tactic that most successful people use to help them in visualizing their success.

Recently I experienced positive outcomes after I built a vision board. I think sharing this experience may provide an insight to you.

I used to build small vision board that I can carry around. But recently James gave me a suggestion to build a big vision board in our master bedroom so that I see it everyday when I wake up and every night before I sleep.

I thought this was a great idea and so we went to buy 2 pieces of majong paper and stick them on the wall.

Having such a big vision board also means I must have big pictures. So no longer sticking small plasma TV, we have to find appropriate size of a plasma TV. The magic appears.

When the picture gets bigger, I also able to see it near or far. The picture stands out. The things I desire are always around me everytime I walk in and out of the master bed room. I become so much conscious of the things I desire day in day out.

The second magic happens when I want to stick my desires. At first, I cut out pictures of branded watches, bags, clothes and shoes. But James only cut out picture of a 60″ plasma TV. I asked James: ” You mean you only have 1 desire?”

James shared: “I believe in Law of Attraction. So I believe whatever things I desire, if I stick them on my Vision Board and I will be able to visualize them into my reality. Thus, only the things I truly desire shall be on my vision board.”

After hearing James’s words, I immediately recognize that I don’t desire the branded clothes, shoes etc . Sticking these objects on the Vision Board do not make me happy even if I have them in reality.

So I started to think seriously: “What do I really really want?” I want to be crystal clear of my life mission and to be a happy person.

After 3 days of thinking, my Vision Board is completed. Within next 3 weeks after I put up my Vision Board, I must say I start to see some of these things manifest into reality:-

(1) Picture of a Slimming Center advertisement and a word “100% healthier”

I am currently 57kg. I always wanted to be slimmer to be at 53kg. Strangely after I put out my wishes, I brought a pair of jogging shoes and started going to my gym twice a week. I also crave less for supper. Within 1 week, my weight dropped by 1 kg and I felt happier about myself.

(2) Picture of James and I with Stephen Pierce and words like “Top 10% club”

Before I put up the picture, I am linked up with Stephen to promote products to help people in visualizing their success. Strangely, I wanted to be top 10 of Stephen’s chosen top people to work with and I just stick the words onto the Vision Board.

A week later, Stephen organized a campaign and James and I really proved our worth to be in his top 10 students. I am really thrilled.

(3) My most happy moments with Stella, my sweetest girl

I neither need a luxurious life nor branded stuff. But moments with my Stella could keep me happy for a long time.

It is my inner desire and my happiest moment to bring Stella to school, cook her lunch, swim with her, bake cookies together, paint pictures, laugh and play and do all sorts of crazy things together.

As I stick these photos we have together, doing above crazy things, I felt tremendous joy and gratitude.

I began to enjoy the very current moment I have with Stella. It seem that I already have eternal time with Stella. This moment of internal joy is so hard to describe. Time just stop and I feel internally happy. In the past, I always feel I don’t have enought time with her and this makes me a rather unhappy mum.

What I say is these 3 weeks have been amazing. I am visualizing the good things into my life. I believe the Law of Attraction is working.

How about you? What about building your own Vision Board today?
