<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you believe in God?<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you believe in a higher power?<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you believe that universe has infinite energy?<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

I believe that there is some power. But I don’t have an opinion on how it works. <\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

I have been reading two books and both books mentioned about the power of visualization. Then I asked a friend, who once told about visualization, if it really works. Friend said, \u201c Whatever success I have had so far in my life is solely through visualization\u201d. Then I thought \u201cWhoa! It worked for so many people. What is wrong in giving it a try?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

I went ahead and googled best books on visualization. Except for this book on creative visualization, rest of the books were graphical visualization books. I quickly got the book and started reading. I made a promise to myself that I will not read it like a novel but go from one step to other by doing exercises. For the first few pages, I did that way. I wrote a list for which I need affirmations. And I wrote an affirmation for each of them. And I started reading affirmations whenever I got free time. <\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

But then I broke my promise. I finished reading the entire book without checking results after each chapter. But now, I have a better picture on visualization. I will implement technique after technique and see which one has a better impact on me. I am eagerly looking forward to writing a post on how visualization helped me become a better person.<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

The book not only talks about visualization but also on affirmations and meditation. It reaffirmed a few of my assumptions on how the universe works. I know a few \u2018doctors\u2019 who heal patients through their prayers. Even though people call it pseudo science, I think that they have a connection with a higher power which will help them heal others. The book also says that we have the power to heal others. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
My grandmother writes \u2018Ram koti\u2019. It is a book which has boxes where you can write \u2018Sri Rama\u2019, the name of a Hindu god, a crore times. Even though I don\u2019t believe that Sri Rama will come and rescue me if I do that, I used to always wonder if I can achieve my dreams by repeatedly writing about them. And this author confirmed that writing affirmations by feeling about them definitely helps.<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Did you know that if you do affirmations with a partner you will start liking your partner more? Can you believe that you can make yourself your guide by using a visualization technique?<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Even though you don\u2019t believe in any of the above, you should start writing affirmations and start visualizing your dreams. A lot of people achieved theirs through this. So can I and so can you. Why wait till I write about my experience? <\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Tell yourself now, \u201c I am awesome. I am healthy and attractive. I am so successful and happy in life.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

There you said your first affirmation. Write many more. Write them specific to you. And keep chanting them like mantras or sing them like songs.<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Visualize now that you are following visualization techniques daily.<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

It might take time to see life changing results for a beginner but it is worth trying!<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/b><\/p>\n

Happy visualization!<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
