What is the art of Visualization and Meditation?
How can you use Visualization for meditation? There are many types of meditation, and many people realize the importance of meditation in their lives. Even medical practitioners now accept meditation as a way to deal with health issues like depression.
Meditation is considered an artwork in itself. It takes a bit of practice to master it. If you are really into meditation, then you will get better at the art of visualization.
Almost every individual uses visualization. Also, this is extra evident amongst kids; as people grow older, they use this method much less. Children are full of wild imaginations. Although you are unaware of it, you are using visualization in one way or another. What you must do, is to know that you are doing it and be more conscious of yourself.
Mediation makes use of visualization very often. Most of the meditation exercises people are familiar with are all-inclusive of visualization. Before concentrating on complicated meditation exercises, you must first master this art.
Some people may imagine that visualization is easily mastered, and that may be true. However, other people struggle with it. Visualization will be more potent if you keep practicing, and you must always be prepared and concentrate on letting all your imagination go.
Do this Exercise to master Visualization.
If you want to master visualization, you can do this easy exercise. Pick a particular object in your home, clear your table, and leave nothing but the thing. Have a look at your chosen object and try to absorb all the details. You can try looking hard at the size, color, shape, and shade. Then, memorize all the details if possible.
The next step is to close your eyes and try to picture your chosen object inside your mind. Ask yourself if you remember or forgot a few of the details. While doing this, think about your feelings and about the exercise. Ask yourself again if you feel uncomfortable about the exercise or if it interests you.
Now, clear the object inside your mind—picture one other object inside your home. Observe and pay attention to the details. After, open your eyes and search for that particular object. Was the object identic to that pictured inside your mind? Did you miss out on specific details? If that is the case, which ones? Once again, you have to ask yourself what you feel while doing the exercise.
Now, returning to the table and keeping the past object in mind is essential. Pay close attention to all the details. After this, try to put the object in its correct surroundings.
As you go about the exercise, you may notice that there are specific gaps in your imagination. So, can you now tell which of the object parts are real and which are not? Or which part came from your memory? You were also asked to consider your feelings.
Creative visualization may be described as an extended meditation session that reaches beyond passive contemplation and achieves transformative action. The uses to which it may be applied are limited only by an individual’s imagination. -Aberjhani
Keep practicing
Visualization can be difficult when you are a newbie, but don’t worry; this is normal. Soon, these emotions will disappear, and you can easily do visualization exercises. So don’t stop now just because you are having difficulties. Just keep on with your practice, and you will be able to create the life you want.
Learn visualization and meditation for your serenity.

Hi Erika,
It is amazing what we an do when we practice meditation and visualization. Lately I’ve been doing deep breathing before meditating. Then, while meditating I have been focusing on a cellular level to cleanse. I am going through each organ and every part of my body. I feel it working and I’m keeping at it.
With the change of seasons I do like it cleanse both physically and visually. I just wish more people would take the time and do this stuff!

Hi Donna,
you do very good,deep breathing is a very good practice
and it is by itself detoxifying. You aree right life would
be easier and less stressful if people would take time
for meditation. It is very beneficial, helps to be
more mindful and get in connection with our intuition.
Many think they have to sit for hours ,but there are
many ways to do meditation.I do with my exercise group
a meditative exercise,which is with deep breathing
and slow movements like Yoga and pilates and I can see
how much better everybody feels after this.
Thank you
Erika

Hi Atish ,
you come from the land of meditation :)and do not meditate?
You may do it at some time in your life, but exercise can be
meditation as well, I teach meditative exercise here. Meditation
want you to get out of your mind and be more conscious of yourself.
Doing exercise and focusing on your breath,which is important for
exercise as well and on your body. Noticing your inside feelings
and getting out of mind chatter, can also be meditation.
Next time you do exercise focus on you breath and do your
movement with the rhythm of your breath and you will see
it makes a difference.
Thanks for the visit
Erika
This is really good content. Meditation is really important.
(I never did it) :p But now I’ll try.
Meditation is good to find your true self,which gives you
more confidence and yoga as well it comes from your tradition
and ancient teachings.
Good to see you here,Naman
Hey Erika,
I do guided visualisation where a CD takes me on the journey. That is generally my midday relaxer. However I don’t practice this type of meditation. When I do my morning and evening mediation I use breathing techniques and clear the mind. It took me a while to master this, but it really agrees with me.
However I might consider visualisation in midday session. I have a great imagination. I agree kids seem to have it and we loose it as we get older. For whatever reason my imagination still is very much in existence and no practice is required. I see lots of colours and shapes when I let my mind drift. Thanks for the tips.
Rachel.
Hi Rachel,
every kind of meditation which helps you to be clear
and relax is beneficial. I like your imagination works 🙂
I talked to many people, even young once who are not able
to do this and it is sad.Many unlearned it because they
were not allowed to daydream. This is why I always told
my grandkids imagine stories and I remind them to imagine.
Thank you for you comment
Erika
What excellent tips here. Visualizing takes a ton of practice because the mind is jumpy, similar to a monkey. But as you strengthen your mental muscle you picture your dreams clearly in those clear images lead you toward them. We are designed a miracle. Nothing else is true. Keep up the great work my friend.

Yes, Ryan, for some people, it is difficult to visualize; it needs practice.
You are right; we are miracles, and if we focus, we can do miracles 🙂
Thank you, I am glad you liked the post.
