We know how powerful visualisation can be.
Remember the Harvard study of the piano players where researchers tested 3 groups:
- Piano players physically playing the piano over 5 days
- Piano players not playing but visualising playing the piano over 5 days
- Control group who had nothing to do with piano playing.
The brain scans for the piano players were very similar, despite the second group not playing.
This supports the idea that our brains don’t know the difference between what we might call reality (in the physical) and imagination.
If we want to create a different outcome, we can use our imagination to bring it into the physical, except when we’re in what David Bayer calls, The Primal State.
Our primal state is the state of survival. It’s fight, flight or freeze.
It’s hard to visualise when we are in that state.
If we’re worried about our health or finances or relationships or work, it’s challenging to go from being worried, even despairing to feeling joy and bliss and hope.
And yet that’s exactly the state we need to be in to visualise and manifest.
So, what to do?
Every day, your job is to get yourself in The Powerful State. The Powerful State, according to Bayer, is the state of rest and relaxation. It matches our parasympathetic nervous system for being calm and creative.
The way to do that is to do something you enjoy.
It’s a way of increasing your vibration and when you increase your vibration you have a better chance of attracting what you want.
What are some things you like to do?
What are some things you enjoy?
Do that!
For me, I love walking along the beach. I love looking out the window, sitting in my recliner with a hot cup of tea, letting the thoughts come and go. I love reading. I love learning. I love watching dogs play.
What do you love?
If you’re finding it hard to visualise, how about taking some time to get yourself out of the Primal and into the Powerful state.
Do something you love. Raise your vibration.
When you do, you’ll find it much easier to visualise and to feel the feelings of having the things you want.
I’m curious, what works for you and what do you want?
