Designing Your Vision

New Year’s Eve is my birthday, so I really get to celebrate a fresh start!  A whole new year! 
 
How do you see yourself over the coming year?  Do you picture yourself doing happy, positive things?  What is your vision?  Do you have a bright view of your life, so that you can create it?
 
The key with visioning is an open mind.   Do not allow your present ideas about your wealth, health, situation, or anything else to limit your vision.  Visioning successfully means letting go completely of the ‘now’ and ‘how’ and allowing yourself to dream the big dream.  However crazy/impossible it seems!  Dream big, you can overcome any obstacle.  However, if you dream small you can never reach your true potential!
 
Vision Meditation
 
Relax, breathe deeply, and imagine yourself in a beautiful garden.  It is your garden.  What can you see?  Notice what is beneath your feet.  What can you hear, and smell?  Walk around, explore, and when ready, allow yourself to walk to a high place in your garden.  If you need help finding it, ask for a guide.  When you arrive at the high place, a guide comes to greet you.  They take you to a special place where you are shown some possibilities. 
 
Relax and enjoy the show.   Know that anything is possible for you.   Imagine your vision for love. Enjoy.  Now imagine your health vision.  Let it unfold. What is your vision for work and perfect self-expression?  Watch as it is revealed.  What is your vision for wealth and abundance?  Watch it appear.  When you have finished watching, the guide gives you a gift.  You will remember what it is and what it means when you return.  Gently come back to the room.
 
Vision Exercise
 
Let your imagination run riot as you write down ten or more alternate possibilities for each of these questions:
 
If I allowed myself to do anything I wanted, what would it be, where, and with whom?
 
If I allowed myself my perfect work, what would it be?
 
If I allowed myself perfect health, how would it appear? 
 
If I allowed myself my perfect lovelife, how would it look?
If I allowed myself complete wealth and abundance, what would that be?
 
Now, under each option you have come up with, write the feelings that they would bring you.  You may be surprised at the feelings some options  bring  – some  you might not even want!
 
Vision Beliefs
 
Here are some common subconscious beliefs that may limit your ability to vision:
 
I don’t know what I want
What I want is not possible/silly/stupid etc
I am  wrong to want what I want
I won’t give myself what I want
I will give myself what I want+
I am not worthy of life’s riches
I am not worthy of loving
I am not worthy of happiness
Dreams don’t come true
I limit myself
I’m not the luckiest person in the world
I’m not independent
My happiness does not depend only on me
 
(+ two stage belief, first clear ‘I won’t’, then clear  ‘I will’.)
 
Changing a Belief
 
To change a negative belief, simply embrace, acknowledge, and surrender to it, which turns it off .  The process* is to say out loud:
 
“I choose to believe (I don’t know what I want), I love myself when I believe (I don’t know what I want) and I embrace it, I surrender.”
 
As you say the belief, feel how you feel when you have that belief.  As you embrace it, imagine you are hugging a crying three year old, and as you surrender, acknowledge and let go.  Just do it once, for each belief.  Drink lots of water, and rest after.
 
New Year’s Resolutions
 
Do you beat yourself up over New Year’s Resolutions?   Any bad habit, in fact any behaviour at all, can be easily understood and released through healing, by identifying the underlying feeling that you have yet to embrace, or releasing a subconscious fear or belief.  Here’s an exercise to try:
 
Releasing Bad Habits Meditation
 
Relax, breathe, and imagine yourself in a safe place.  Focus on something that you wish to give up, and allow yourself to see yourself projected on a big screen, carrying out the bad habit.  Take a deep breath, and travel back in time to the moment just before you begin to participate.  Notice what you are feeling.  Notice and embrace the feelings, acknowledge and surrender.  And gently come back to the room.
 
Something to ponder
 
An alternate answer to the first Vision Exercise  question above is ‘loving myself here where I am now’.
 
I wish you a wonderful and Happy New Year!
