Visualization isn't the easiest thing to learn but it can be a really fun experience and shift gears towards what you want and how you apply it to your life. I'm constantly learning this and seeing my goals from a different perspective that is unique and something that I get excited to do. It's more than just meditation, beyond just visualizing something and more so than just watching a flick in your mind's eye. Theater Of The Mind is a technique that has you seeing yourself achieve your goals as if it was happening on the big screen, watching yourself triumph over your obstacles, making things happen and projecting yourself into another realm of positive and amazingly awesome things.
Picture yourself in your own movie theater, sitting in your chair/row/balcony and watching from a 1st person point of view what it would be like to see your dreams become a reality. What would it feel like, what would it sound like and what would your emotions be? As a practitioner of this, it is very powerful and has helped achieve things I didn't realize at the time were possible. I have used it to lift more than 400 pounds in the deadlift, used it to achieve a solid level of sales and survive in sparring sessions of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You can do this anytime, anywhere that is quiet and you can concentrate.
There's more to it than just looking at your goals; it teaches you what to look for, how to turn up the volume, step by step markings of what to visualize and how to plant your goals onto the screen themselves. What are your goals? What do you wish to see and what will bring you your greatest strengths, will and imagery that is powerful?
Get Theater Of The Mind and learn the deepest details of seeing your superhuman self on the big screen.

Like Being In A Hypnotic State
I like the
idea of hypnotism, where you can be transferred to a state of mind in which
it’s full of relaxed, calm and powerful entities. There aren’t good ways to be
hypnotized at least from certain people who know how to do it but from the
people I know it can be very helpful and aid you into becoming stronger. What
if you learned to hypnotize yourself? Consciously drive into your own mind and
put yourself in a state where you channel your focus on what you want and everything
else is blocked off. Gather your focus and energy into being so in tuned; you
get more results from your training.
It’s not
easy being able to hypnotize yourself because it takes concentration, an
intense level of focus and blocking out what you don’t want within your mind.
Meditation can help, going into your own Movie Theater, thinking of various
colors that relax you whatever you find useful. The reason why I feel being
hypnotized and going into a state of mind as you train is because there can be
too many distractions around you and you want to put the effort into what you
want in terms of results. This happens a lot at the gym. You go in, some douche
is talking on his cell phone or the energy is so great it just makes it
difficult for you. This is one of the reasons why I like training at home or at
a park where it is just you and your thoughts. I get so fired up sometimes I
don’t see, hear or look at anything else other than the training I’m putting
myself through.
Look at it
this way, this your time to do what you want to do, be free. The next time
you’re alone, do this before you work out, sit, stand or lie down whatever is
comfortable, close your eyes or keep them open whatever works, let yourself
relax, ease out of your tension one body part at a time starting with your neck
and slowly drip downward, learn to listen to that inner voice or spirit within
you helping you take all the junk out. Breathe deeply; think to yourself Calm
Mind/Calm Body. Picture what you want to accomplish in your workout, focus into
the muscles you’re working on. See the intensity as if it was on a big screen
TV, you are calm and focused but you’re slowly building your adrenaline, now
listen to that inner voice saying “You’re coming out focused, strong and ready.
Snap your fingers three times and you’ll awaken ready for action.” This should
take no less than a few minutes, at first you may struggle to think like this
but let it happen, be like water on a smooth river bank, its flowing but also
can grow in strength.
No matter
if you’re at the gym, at home or wherever, you’re not competing against others,
it’s you against yourself. We all have that one opponent and it’s our inner
selves. He/she can be your best friend or your greatest enemy; you must choose
which one to take. When you’re competing against yourself it’s like a chess
match, which moves will be your best chances of winning. When you compete
against others it’s not as bad winning or losing cause another person will
always come along but when you keep losing against yourself, it’s far more
severe because you’re hurting what matters most.
Going into
another state of mind and learning how to win is a challenge but if you keep
persevering, telling that bad side of you it’s either with you or against you,
you’re creating a powerful way to unlock your true personality. It’s finding
who you are from within and how to use those positive vibrations we all have.
Some have more negative than others because of certain experiences and how we
react from a mental perspective but if you go inside yourself and learn to find
those positive parts of yourself, find a way to increase their strength, grow
bigger and more powerful so they outweigh and can crush the larger number of
the negatives. On the other hand if you have more positives than negatives,
it’s a little bit easier but can still be a challenge, again go inside that
state of mind and grow and outweigh those bad boys and crush those negatives
even more.
We’re all
different and we sometimes find it easy to go into another state of mind but
also it’s not so easy and can be a struggle because we of our experiences, the
energy we surround ourselves with and how we react to these things. It’s like
being in a hypnotic state, the way you control it is up to you and how you
converse in your mind of creating what you want and listening from within.

Building Your Mental Powers
Without
question, the mind is far more powerful than the human body. When you open up
your mind, you open a door to a whole new world. A world filled with
possibilities, opportunities and creative ideas that make the planet look like
a green pea. When you are closed off and narrow minded, you’re a little more
rigid, more cautious, question too much instead of letting it flow. I’m
learning this myself every single day because even though I have a strong
intuition and I’m open minded, I tend to fall off the wagon so do speak as we
all do and it makes us human. To strengthen your mind, you have to be willing
to let go and create new adventures for yourself.
A big key
in developing mental strength is how you project your self-image. The
self-image is how you see yourself in your minds eye, the attitude and habits
you portray are attributes to your self-image. I have read a book or 2 on this
subject and even taken on different techniques to enhance the image I want.
This isn't one of those voodoo religious type stuff or even a spiritual thing,
it’s how you live in the way you see yourself. For example, if you’re living
with the image of being broken down and you feel there’s no way of getting out
of it and you whine and you complain about your appearance and/or how people or
how you see yourself, that will project how you have created that attitude and
letting those habits grow. On another hand, if you see yourself as confident,
relaxed, poised, building yourself creatively without outside negative energy
and you build ideas and run with them, that’s the attitude and habit of having
a strong image of yourself. The way you see yourself can make you or break you
depending on how your energy manifests itself to the things that surround you.
One of the
most powerful tools of developing mental strength is using your imagination.
How you see things no one else does, the wide open plethora of another world
that only you can create. You see things that give you strength, give you a
reason to shoot for a goal and pointing you in the direction of getting there.
I have a vivid imagination and sometimes I have to stop myself if I’m in that
state of mind where it’s just frustrating and upsetting, so I go into a place
where I let my imagination run like a madman and point out what can work and
what needs to be erased. Whether you want to create instant strength or enhance
your self-image, resistant-free to run your business and/or build an energy
defense system where you block negative vibes; your imagination will help you
build it if you apply yourself with the right tools.
Last tool I
like to use every now and again is what’s called Theater Of The Mind. This
technique is incredible where you breathe powerful energy into your body and go
inside your mind where you’re in your own movie theater with a big screen and a
seating area where you can view it any way you want. You use this to create
what you want and how you can rehearse it as you see it on that big screen. I
don’t want to give away all the details of this technique but I can tell you,
if you want something or want to create something, you view it as if it has
already happened and it’s giving you little steps to get you there. Try it out
and you can create anything you want that is within the limits of your
imagination and how far you’re willing to go productively and with strong
intentions.

Visualization And Why It Helps Increase Your Strength
What you see is far different from how you feel. We usually
begin things by a thought. How we see that thought is different for everyone
but a common entity is that if you see, feel it and give into its power, it can
generate your strength in ways you have never imagined. In the field of
strength and fitness, most people just go around cutting corners, dragging
their sorry asses along and don’t give any real thought to how they can find
within themselves the power to generate what they want to happen. There’s a
whole other world in visualizing what you want.
To really
understand the power of visualization, you can’t just think of something and
just act on it in my opinion; it’s really digging deep into the very core of
your soul. To see is to feel, to see is to dream it, to see it, it consumes you
and you control what you want to see. It’s not easy because not everyone can
see inside themselves. When you see something, what are you doing, where are you
and how do you want to achieve it? The basics of Visualization is to go into a
near trance-like state and you can do this with your eyes open or closed
whatever you prefer but also when you’re in this trance, learn to block out the
outside world and focus on what matters most.
One of my
favorite Visualizations is what’s called Theater Of The Mind; it teleports you
into a movie theater that can be as big as you want. It gives you freedom to
see whatever you want to achieve no matter how big or how small, it’s your
time, your movie and your own endeavor. Some people see just themselves in the
theater, watching themselves at their best and they’re by themselves without
anyone around. For me, it’s a little out there. When I walk into the Theater Of
My Mind, I actually sit next to someone and it’s not just a random person. I
picture sitting next to someone that may have passed on that I admire or more
frequently it’s one of the gods or goddesses of Mount Olympus
or Greek/Norse/Irish Mythology such as Zeus, Hercules, Thor, Pan, Aphrodite and
whoever shows up. They help me on my journey and channel my intuition. In Greek
or Latin stories of the gods, it is said that the gods visit mortals in their
dreams.
Very few
can see but the rest don’t know how to use their imagination and look into the
very heart of what they want. When you look into your mind what you want
whether it’s to be stronger, more athletic, win a game, score a touchdown, hit a homerun, break a world record or whatever it is you desire, feel it as if you
were there at the front lines, people cheering you and you are the king/queen of
your own arena. Sense the atmosphere, feel the surge of energy that makes you
victorious, see the smiles of your loved ones as they congratulate your
successes and your peers admiring your courage and strength. These are all the
examples of what you can create in your visualizations, you have the power to
create whatever you desire and no one can take that away from you.
