Creative Visioning using visual aids:

Spirit Calls Me is excited to offer you the opportunity to develop your own Creative Visioning board “Why you ask would I want to make a Creative Visioning Board?  Because we say –“It works!" And in our experience this is one of the best tools for bringing forth that which wants to be expressed. Another way of expressing this was stated in the 2^nd century by the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius, who said, “Our life is what our thoughts make it.”  So you see it’s not a new idea but it definitely is a powerful one.

Karen Bishop in her Wings message of January 31, 2010 stated: “ Our creating abilities are profound now. This is why focusing on and visualizing what we truly desire is so vitally important, as it serves to keep our spirits up, as well as serving to form the new reality in all ways, and keep that in place as well.”

The reason it works is because it allows you to match your energy to that of the desired effect by looking at the pictures on your board and visualizing yourself in that picture. We know Life is energy and we draw to us that which matches our current rate of vibration. Since our thoughts, feelings and actions are all forms of energy, what we think, feel, say, and do in each moment comes back to us to create our realities.  Many individuals who are working on their spiritual growth have found that as they have grown and changed, they have lost some friends and gained new ones. That is because their energy/vibration changed. So, too, are we able to attract different physical objects to ourselves that are of a different quality. By looking at the images you’ve chosen to represent your vision you add clarity and feeling so the vision itself becomes more “real” in your mind. As it becomes more real you begin to believe that it is real and since the mind does not distinguish between what is real in our mind and what is real “out there” it begins the process of attracting to us those things we put our attention on so that they can manifest in our reality.

Especially now we are searching for what we really want and how we express our Soul purpose in this new world. Often we search in vain because we are looking outside ourselves. The power of Creative Visioning as a way of discovering direction and clarity comes from its reliance upon the inner knower, the deep self within each of us, always available and ever responsive when we call upon it. This Creative Visioning Process is a way by which we train our selves to hear, feel, see and catch God’s plan for our life or any particular project we are working on.

People who have no vision for their life are sleepwalking with no hint as to why they are here or what their purpose is. They are drifting along on the currents and of the culture’s beliefs of the day whether those beliefs be good or bad. We can no longer afford to continue drifting – it is time to step up and do what we came to do!

We know we are all called to express God’s unconditional Love – that is our purpose. The task is to find out what that looks like in our life. We are multidimensional, multifaceted beings and there are many ways in which we express love, but each of us has a primary vision to catch or to open up to, which enables us to serve our purpose of revealing Love.

As we become inspired by the ideas held in the mind of God, they begin to live and express through us. We are then able to articulate and to live them. We are fulfilling our heart’s desire (allowing our latent talents, gifts and abilities to become actualized), which is after all God’s Will for each of us.

“OK You’ve got my attention. How do I do this?”

Creative Visioning begins with a deep sense that we’re surrounded by unconditional love. Using whatever method you are comfortable with go into a light meditative state that establishes your connection to Spirit. This is the foundation for Creative Visioning. We then declare what it is we are doing the visioning about. For example, we may ask, “How does God express Itself through me?” Then wait to inwardly hear, see, and catch what comes.  What it looks like, what it feels and sounds like, so pay close attention to any symbols or metaphors that appear. All of this is done without judgment. We are opening ourselves to whatever comes and we notice what begins to flow through so we can articulate it, write it down, express it, dialogue about it, and be aware of how it feels, not just emotionally but spiritually.

At this point, you might ask, “What is it that I have to embody or become in order for this vision to manifest?” As we begin to get a picture of how we need to develop and grow and unfold it is then time to begin to document these ideas and feelings. A good place to begin is to look for the pictures that express these ideas and feelings. Spirit Calls Me.com provides all the tools needed to facilitate this process. You may watch this short video for directions or follow the instructions below:

Step I:  Create a new file on your desktop by right clicking your mouse and selecting new, then folder. Label it vision board. You might want to make several folders and assign a theme to each one. Health, Career, Home, Spirituality, Relationships, or Symbols for instance.

Step 2: After your meditation go through the images on the websites and download the ones that delight you. (Click here to go to a list of sites where you can obtain free images. As you see these images –download any that appeal to you. Don’t ask why, just keep downloading. Just have fun and be open to whatever calls to you. Then, when you have all the pictures downloaded into a folder, look at them and ask yourself what this picture might mean. What is it telling you about you? Does it mean you need to rest more? Does it mean you need to meditate more? Or stop hanging out with a particular person who drains you? Most likely you’ll know the answer. If you don’t, but you still love the image, put it in your vision board anyway. It will have an answer for you soon enough. This process can be a powerful guide for you in alignment with who you really are.
