Visualisation is a powerful way to help you turn
your dreams into reality. That's quite a statement to make, but there's a
lot of evidence out there to support it.
Actor Jim Carrey, for instance, is famous for
parking his car on Muholland Drive (a very famous road in LA which is featured
in innumerable movies, songs, and novels. David Lynch, once said that one can
feel "the history of Hollywood" on it) every night before anybody
knew about him, and visualizing becoming the Hollywood star that he inevitably
became. He even wrote himself a ten million dollar check for a movie deal, and
dated it five years from that very day. Can you guess what eventually happened?
Not long before that date came along, he secured ten million dollars to star in
the movie Dumb and Dumber.
It's not just Actors who have realised the power
of visualisation, but the elite and successful people in every field:
professional athletes, business CEO’s, speakers, singers, and performers.
Simply by replaying over and over again the mental images of where or who you
would like to be is the key to turning your vision from a day-dream into
reality!
Between the 1950s to the 1980's the Russians
dominated the Olympics. Why? Because part of their Olympic Team
included a number of Hypnotists who helped their athletes develop mental
clarity through visualisation!
Muhammad Ali used visualisation to help him
win boxing fights. Andre Agassi repeatedly imagined himself winning the
Wimbledon long before he actually won it in 1992 and even Jack Nicklaus,
Golfer, would never hit a shot without having a sharp, focused picture of it in
his mind first.
Need more evidence? Science has
demonstrated that your brain cannot tell the difference between a visualized
image and reality. A Harvard study taught two groups a simple 5-fingered piano
melody; one group physically practiced the melody for 2 hours a day over 5
days. The other group merely visualized playing the melody. As you can probably
guess, the new neurological wiring that took place were almost identical
between the two groups.
So whatever goal you have, try using
visualisation to help you to achieve it!
