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.
Go
beyond what you see, feel more powerful in that moment in time, destroy all
your obstacles and turn yourself into a person you want to be the most, see
yourself at your best and see how far you can push it in the future. There are
no limits, there is no darkness in the tunnel, you are shining bright and it
burns those that stand in your way. Throw yourself into the stratosphere,
beyond the stars, shoot through planets, become a universe of strength and
vitality that makes everything you desire become simpler, easier and more
powerful. You have it in you and it’s waiting to be unleashed.
