Sensation
There is an aspect of visualisation that has been eluding me, but has now dawned fully. I could have realised this ages ago, but better late than never. And maybe you already know and sussed it before. In which case you should have told me.
Visualising what we want is a real helpful thing to do. Dreams are what life is made of, and it's important to dream positively about what you want. 'What you think is what you get'. We've talked about this before. (Avoid negative thoughts as that's what you'll attract towards you.)
But I've been thinking about what my good friend Ronald Harris, the top hypnotherapist in Scotland told me years ago. He said there's a well known phrase in psychology....'The expected sensation tends to be realised'. He explained, if you believe something will happen, you'll bring about the circumstances to make it happen.
So, visualise what you want, put yourself in the picture, sense the situation, feel the texture, smell the odour and see it clearly in your mind. See yourself being successful, happy, wealthy, in love and driving that cool car. This is the technique of visualisation. But there is one key word that I've not fully related to, at least until now and that is 'SENSATION'.
'The expected sensation tends to be realised.'
When visualising, it works best if you can create the 'sensation' of how you will feel in the situation of your dreams. Create the emotional feeling that you'll have when you're holding the object you want, or experiencing the love of another, the hug, or the peace of mind, or the happiness. Sense the joy, excitement, happiness, relief, pride, or whatever. It's the emotional experience we need to create. This is not instead of the visual image, but as well as the mental image when visualising. The Sensation is a major trigger.
Like attracts like. Give away smiles and you receive smiles back. Give away love and you get love back. Give away money and you get money back. (Try it. It may not come back from the same place you gave to, but you'll get it when you need it most.) Give away what you want. Like attracts like. My friend and life teacher Terry Tillman described how he was tuning one of the guitars in his band and when he tuned the G string, the guitar next to him resonated at the same frequency. Both G strings resonated together. We need to 'resonate' what it is that we want to attract towards us. Like attracts like. Resonate the emotion (sensation) and you'll attract the situation towards you that creates that emotion for you.
'The expected sensation tends to be realised.'
Have a great day. :-)
