Creative visualization can be a useful tool in goal achievement. Its an easy way to communicate your desires to the ethers through the power of your imagination using the energies of the Universe to create your reality. The Vibrations we put out into the Universe is what returns to us.

Once you have decided on a goal, close your eyes and imagine your desires as if they have already been obtained, creating as many details as possible. It is only necessary to do this for a few minutes at a time, but it should be done twice a day.

Here's another exercise for reinforcement. Be creative by using colored paper, crayons and markers to express your desires on the physical level as well. Draw your goals in detail, glue down pictures from magazines or simply make a colorful wish list. Place your finished product under your mattress for a few months, looking at it as a reminder. Don't be surprised to find yourself checking things off the list as they manifest into reality.

There are cautions to be aware of when doing any form of creative visualization technique. BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU ASK FOR! Always, always include in your wishes that your goals be achieved 'for the best and highest good for all concerned' in order to protect yourself and others. This insurance guards against harm that could result from unintentionally using the wrong words, like losing a limb because you innocently asked for quick weight loss or becoming seriously ill because you asked for early retirement. You may also want to avoid using phrases such as 'I want' or 'I need' or you may always find yourself in 'want' or 'need'. The ether's will take your words very literally. Remember, the vibrations we put out into the Universe is what returns to us.

It is always best to imagine goals and desires as if they have already been achieved because that is what we wish to create, the final product. Whether you work on one desire at a time or several at once, creative visualization can manifest dreams. The infinite energy of the Universe is only limited by the power of your imagination.
