The Power of Visualization: Peace of Mind is an Image Away, Part V
This is Part V of a six part blog. See my 12/20 blog post for Part IV.
In order to help you get a better grasp on the role and power of visualization, I thought the following two quotes would be quite helpful:
"Although research in this field is still in its infancy, we have already found that visualization has a definite effect on the body's EEG, or electrical field. Physiologist Edmund Jacobson has shown, for example, that if you imagine yourself running, small but measurable amounts of contraction actually take place in the muscle you use for jogging." [This certainly happens when we dream.]
"Anatomists have demonstrated that there are pathways between the part of the brain where our pictures are stored and the autonomic nervous system which controls such so-called "involuntary" activities as sweating, blood pressure, and digestion. These same pathways link the autonomic nervous system and the pituitary and adrenal cortex. The end result is that a picture in the mind has an impact on every cell in our bodies."
These two quotes come from a book entitled: Visualization, by Adelaide Bry.
So, what we imagine, we experience viscerally in our bodies. Our imagination has a very, very powerful effect on our bodies.
As well, what we imagine, we experience as real psychologically. And by doing so we then we attract more of what we are imagining or visualizing into our life experiences. So, we really can’t afford the luxury of a negative imagination! It gets us into a lot of trouble!
Please see my next blog entry for a simple, yet highly effective visualization technique that can help you to imagine and manifest all the good you ever wanted in your life.
