Visualization Catalyst

Are you feeling like your visualizations are going anywhere?

Are you like me and just want results yesterday?

There are catalysts to speed up the process.  They include:

• just replaying the desired results in your imagination
• mind maps preferably with pictures
• dream boards
• slide presentations preferably with music
• videos.

Imagination

Maxwell in the original “Psycho-Cybernetics” gives excellent instructions for visualizing you’re an actor and putting yourself in your desired outcome.  Basically with your eyes closed picture a person, you doing what you want done or having what you want.

Dream Boards and Slide Shows

Dream boards add some vividness as well.  You can use a poster board or white board.  Collect pictures of your desire put them on the board.  Put the board where you will see it a lot, if possible in your work space.

You can also use your computer.  You can just add images to a special folder or to a presentation.

If you choose to add the images to a presentation then you are just one step away from a slide show.  A slide show is an even stronger catalyst if it includes music.  It involves more senses.  Watching the images move seems to make them more “real” or in the present.  A slide show is just one step away from…

Videos

Videos.  You can use movie maker  or a service like Animoto to turn your slide show into a video.  “Manifestation video Hummer HX Concept” is a visualization video made with Animoto.  “Mind Movies” is another service for making manifestation videos.  An add on to their service allows your movie to loop on computer behind other windows.  There is a “Mind Movie” link on the catalyst page.

Laughing Yoga?

Laughing and Yoga don’t have anything to do with each.  Or do they?

If you say no, the Weight Loss Grail says you’re wrong.

There is a form of yoga practiced in India that is laughter.  Laughing just to laugh, from an internal stimulus. Laughing is like any other habit the more it’s practiced the easier and more frequently it occurs.

Anyone can learn and do this type of yoga.  School curriculum in parts of India include laughter yoga.  It doesn’t involve all the posturing of other forms of yoga.  It has more benefit when accompanied by a warm up and rhythmic movements.

Research from the early 1990′s has shown that laughter had a lot of the same benefits as aerobic exercise.  I personally think laughing is a whole lot more fun than running on a treadmill.  But that’s me.

Doesn’t this sound too fun to be good for you?

I want to change the subject a little.

Laughing Yoga is one to the growing list of fun things that are really enjoyable and have numerous benefits.  There is a more extensive list here.

Do you know at least one more really fun activity that has the same benefits as exercise and for most a lot more fun?

Hint:  It is also a great way to release tension; increase the relaxing and pain relief hormones.
