Recently I
came across two techniques. First one is ‘MEDITATION’ and the second one is
CREATIVE VISUALIZATION’.
By
meditation I understood keeping the mind blank and effecting into a state of
non-thinking. I practiced it for 10 minutes for 3 days. I saw many thought
bubbles being formed but I ignored them and they eventually died away. This
activity taught me how to ignore my thoughts and see my thoughts die calmly by
my non-participation and non-reactivity. This helped me free myself from the
unstoppable process of incessant thought bubbles surfacing in my mind. I could
see my mind in non-action.
Then I came
to know about the technique of creative visualization. It is better expressed
in very simplified terms in the famous dialogue of Saharukh Khan in the movie ‘Om
Shanti Om’ where he says, “Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho….to puri
kainath use tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.” The same idea is put
across in Paulo Coelho’s famous novel, ‘The Alchemist’ in the lines, “When you
want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you achieve it…”
I felt that
this life-changing idea, when put in action, is CREATIVE VISUALISATION. There
is a beautiful book written by Shakti Gawain on the very title, ‘CREATIVE
VISUALISATION’. In that book, the author says, “The moment of your life is
infinitely creative and the universe is endlessly bountiful. Just put forth a
clear enough request, and everything your heart truly desires must come to
you.” This is further corroborated by Norman Vincent Peale, in his famous book;
“The Power of Positive Thinking”. The author says that man can be immensely
guided to reach at his goals by following the techniques of prayerizing , visualizing
and actualizing.
I
experience that a combination of Meditation and Creative Visualization can work
wonder. Use meditation to clean your mind and eliminate confusion as the first
step and then take the second step. Activate your power of imagination and use
your imagination to create the clearest and the best picture of your dream
life. Think with emotion and involve your heart to feel for the changed new
life for which you dream. The creative laws of nature will work and soon the
universe will restructure its creative forces to accommodate your dreams.
Is it not
fun to create your desired life? Then why delay? Take the best idea and go on a
voyage to discover the best life.
