How to apply visualization: Visualization — the brother of thePower of Intention
In my last blog I talked to you about the power of intention and how it helps you create what you want. Today I am going to introduce you to the brother of Intention, and that is visualization. I receiveda mail from Brain Tracy this week, and after I read it I knew I needed to use it in my next post to more clearly expose the power of intention.
If you did not read my post about the power of intention, read that also and you will understand why I say visualization is the brother of the power of intention.
Here is what Brain Tracy says about visualization:
Did you know that there are four parts of visualization that you can learn and practice to ensure that you use this incredible power to its best advantage all the days of your life?
How Often?
The first aspect of visualization is frequency, the number of times that you visualize a particular goal as achieved of yourself performing in an excellent way in a particular event or circumstance. The more frequently you repeat a clear mental picture of your very best performance or result, the more rapidly it will appear as part of your reality.
How Long?
The second element of visualization is the duration of the mental image, the length of time that you can hold the picture in your mind each time you replay it. When you deeply relax, you can often hold a mental picture of yourself performing at your best for several seconds, and even several minutes. The longer you can hold your mental picture, the more deeply it will be impressed into your subconscious mind and the more rapidly it will express itself in your subsequent performance.
How Clearly?
The third element of visualization is vividness. There is a direct relationship between how clearly you can see your desired goal or result in your mind and how quickly it comes into your reality. This element of visualization is what explains the powers of the Law of Attraction and the Law of Correspondence. The vividness of your desire directly determines how quickly it materializes in the world around you. Here is an interesting point. When you set a new goal for yourself, your image or picture of this goal will usually be vague and fuzzy. But the more often you write it, review it, and repeat it mentally, the clearer it becomes for you. Eventually, it will become crystal clear. At that point, the goal will suddenly appear in your world exactly as you imagined it.
How Intensely?
The fourth element of visualization is intensity, theamount of emotion that you attach to your visual image. In reality, this is the most important and powerful part of the visualization process. Sometimes, if your emotion is intense enough and your visual image is clear enough, your goal will immediately come true.
Of course, the elements of frequency, duration, vividness, and intensity can help you or hurt you. Like nature, the power of visualization is neutral. Like a two-edged sword, it can cut in either direction. It can either make you a success or make you a failure. Visualization brings you whatever you vividly and intensely imagine, whether good or bad.
Action Exercise
Continually feed your mind with clear, exciting, emotional pictures. Remember, your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.
To your success in goal setting, Brain Tracy .
In my last blog I showed you that I practice what I preach, and with what Brain says here, I can also tell you about something that happened this past week.
Steve and I are going to become part of CEO Space where Successful entrepreneurs come together with up and coming entrepreneurs, such as ourselves, to mentor, advise, teach, share ideas, invest and work together with them in whatever necessary to help put them on the road to success.
We will attend a huge forum in December where we will meet these mentors, investors and all the people who will be able to help us effectively launch the Gratitude Game into the world.
We are already in the process of creating Opus Games Ltd.,LLC as our corporate entity and are beginning to reach out to interested investors. I have begun visualizing the fact that we are receiving every penny we need to attend the forum and launch the product, and also meditating an average of two times a day. Steve is doing the same thing, and even before officially beginning our capital investment program, we have already received verbal commitments for $5000 ! Our goal is $20,000 by the first of December, so we are already a quarter of the way there!
If you are new to my blog and don’t know about “gratitude!” the game, just go to the menu bar Gratitude Game, and please be so kind as to leave us a comment of what you think after you have visited the website.
Thanks you for reading my blog, and thank you for your great comments that you have submitted about this post.

I love your blog!
Grat post about visualization. One reason I thing that people don’t use it more is because they can’t get the clutter our of their heads. I remember being at a party when I was a child and we were playing the game pin the tail on the donkey. It is a game where they blind fold you, spin you around, and then you have to walk to the paper donkey and pin a paper tail on the donkey. As I waited in line I stared at that donkeys butt and focus all my energy on being able to get it right. It was my turn and I have visualized so much on that donkeys butt that I WON!!

Hello Theuns, I haven’t seen the process of visualisation written in such detail either! Since I learned about visualizing I have achieved some fun and exciting things in my life. I learned to scuba dive and have been on some great dives, have visited some wonderful places overseas, and moved to a city my husband and I had “visualised” living in for a year or more.

Hi Theuns,
inspiring article about intention.
The more I read about Brian Tracy the more I want to learn from him, so he is now on my reading list.
Intention has made sense of me since I came across it through Wayne Dyer.
One thing that really stood our for me is your paragraph on ‘frequency’. My intention is to set intention more regularly.
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Awesome post my friend. I love to hear real stories like yours about how are thoughts are really things and the dominating thoughts of the mind do materialize. That is the power of making the unconscious conscious very powerful concept. This game will sweep the world because you have already created that circumstance inside you.

What I find so interesting is you could never find this aynwrehe else.
I, too, love Brian Tracy.
Visualization is used in all aspects of life from schoolwork to business. It has been silent for years only because of the unknown reason for it. Now even
scientists are realizing the power of visualization.
The one good thing about visualization is it can be applied to any area of our lives and work every time. That is the power and flexibility of visualization.
Therefore, if you use visualization in your thinking and use your feelings and emotions to center that image, and then apply action to it, you will eventually see the results. Just try to focus on an exact image and not be too vague as to what you want.

I have never seen the parts of visualization explained like this before, now it makes more sense to me why it doesn’t work as well for me.
I will definitely have to apply the vividness and intensity to take my visualizations up a notch or two.
Theuns,
Thanks, never thought about visualization like that before. It makes sense that frequency, duration, clarity and intensity would affect your results while visualizing. I plan to apply it starting today. Between visualizing and intending anything is possible.

Hi Theuns,
Thank you for this excellent article on visualization. Brian Tracy is awesome and he is certainly on my mentors list. I am a true believer in visualization and I have experienced positive proof that it works. Brian Tracy talks about 4 parts of visualization:
How Often?
How Long?
How Clearly?
How Intensely?
Your action advice is to “Continually feed your mind with clear, exciting, emotional pictures. Remember, your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” The clarity part is what takes the work and patience is a definite must in the process.
It is awesome that you are able to illustrate to your readers the proof of visualization with the manifestation of “The Gratitude Game.” As you know, we are friends and we have corresponded through the months and it is exciting to see your visualization of your Opus become a reality!
It is happening because you have persevered and trusted yourself and your partner with your belief that your product will be spread throughout the world! The Gratitude Game is something needed in these times. People are shifting to the wrong things due to the problems we are facing globally.
I visited the CEO Space and again, I will continue to support you and watch your success! You will receive every penny you need to attend the forum and launch your product!

I remember one day being told about how powerful visualization was so I went out, bought myself a poster of a 1/2 million yacht I thought I deverved and then waited.
5 years later, when there was no yacht docked anywhere that belonged to me, I realized that visualization was not sufficient.
So now, instead of visualizing an object, I try to imagine what it will be like when a certain task is achieved, and then the other…
I now have that yacht. I didn’t quite pay that much for it, and for some it might not even pass as a yacht but it floats and boy do we enjoy it!

Hi Theuns,
What an awesome post. I am a HUGE fan of Brian Tracy and all of his teachings and his content on visualization is very powerful.
All goals if they are going to be achieved start with clarity of what it is that you want and if you can conjure up those powerful images and see it, taste it and smell it, you WILL achieve it.
You have defined your Definite Major Purpose and an awesome one at that.
You have clearly set out all the steps and made a great plan and now you and Steve have Identified the people whose help and cooperation you will require.
Since your game is so worthy, there is NO doubt that you and Steve deserve their help.
We are proud of what you have done so far and your incredible focus.
To your massive success,
Marc

In my opinion, you did a great job on this topic.
I love visualizing and am working on a post of my own about it. Our emotions decide what is worth paying attention to. We make our visualizations vivid and full of emotions, so that our mind pays attention to what we choose to experience. Experience what you desire with as many of your senses as possible and really feel what it is like to have that experience.

We certainly need to be mindful of these key points of visualization when practicing. Great tips, I will put these on my vision board so I am aware of how to apply it.
Frequency used to be a problem for me. I found myself jumping from one book to another and trying different techniques about the law of attraction. We need to consistently focus on visualization for it to be powerful.
Great post! Keep them coming!

Some years back (around 1980) I was introduced to Glenn Doman who had created the Institutes for Human Potential which focused mostly on helping brain-damaged children reprogram (my word) their brain through intense physical stimulus of a very particular kind. It became known as patterning. It required adults to manipulate the limbs and head of a child in the pattern of the way a healthy child creeps and crawls across the floor. There were many other components as well, including flash cards, and reproducing the crawl pattern in many other ways like the hand over hand way that a person moves along a a parallel ladder while hanging by the arms. I mention all this because Dr. Doman’s words have stayed in my own mind all these years: intensity, frequency, and duration.
Sound familiar? See the connection. Many brain-damaged children gained full or nearly full recovery from his prescriptive plans. Controversial then, his concepts are now better documented.
On another note – glad to hear you are headed to a live event in December. There is nothing like networking to bring about success.
