Let’s Get Clear on the Vision
There is nothing like a dream to create the future.
~Victor Hugo~
As we go about weaving the tapestry of our lives through our words, thoughts and actions, it is of the utmost importance that we have a very clear vision set forth for ourselves. We are the Creators of our reality and we are going to consciously magnetize our future by taking our goals, infusing our own energy into them, and birth this into a visual form. This is an incredibly powerful process, which also happens to be a lot of fun! No matter who you are or where you are in life, you have yearnings, desires, and, hopefully, clear goals stemming from that deep voice within which wishes to express the very best of it’s True Self. What do you Really want for yourself in all areas of your life? Personally, professionally, or even goals you may have for the Globe. It’s time to let that inner voice speak of what makes your heart dance, so you creatively (and consciously) manifest your goals and magnetize your future. It’s time to bring the vision to life.
Sample Vision Board, but not mine!
I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
~Henry David Thoreau~
I find the act of bringing goals into a visual, feeling form so inspiring and motivating! It’s a very powerful creational process in and of itself, and has been given quite a few names: Vision Board, Vision Collage, Dream Board, Treasure Map, Mission Map, etc. My board reflects both my personal and professional desires, but I’m here to tell you that there are no rules. That’s right!
This isn’t about anyone but *you* and what *you* want for yourself and putting that into a form which inspires you and allows you to Feel your future. When embarking on this Beautiful Adventure, ask what communicates and motivates you. I began with a large poster board, colored pencils and clipped images. Draw, paint, collage, or add stickers. Don’t rely just upon images from magazines, find the exact image you want on the web and print it out. Be specific and clear. May I tell you that there were images I had clipped which I manifested prior to even getting them glued to the poster board?
Yes! Awesome! And, for those of you on the go, may I suggest an Attraction/Vision Book?
Another Sample Vision Board, also not mine! *giggle*
Your Vision Creation is going to be a tool allowing you to enter into your future in a Feeling way, so specifics are very important. What does your dream home/car look and feel like? Where do you want to go on vacation? Do you want to be making X amount of money by a certain date? Seeking a book deal, new business partner, or business successes? Step into this new reality, experience it as though it has already occurred and then set that into a visual form which will allow you to bring it into a tangible form. Add certain words or phrases as well, such as “Let your life speak” and “Sacred Peaceful home”, which are among the words on my board. I chose to section my board into the more masculine/yang (right) side of myself and feminine/yin (left) side of myself. At the heart of my vision board sits the image of a Beautiful pink lotus blossom, a symbol mirroring the importance of, and desire for, my continued emotional and spiritual growth, expansion, and development. I have a corner devoted to the Beautiful, Harmonious, Loving relationship I am already creating, as well as a corner devoted to the travel I desire and will manifest for myself. But this isn’t about my vision, but yours! What is it that calls to you? Be patient with yourself and be willing to revise the vision as you go along until it represents the best of you and your deepest innermost desires.
Resolve to succeed. The greatest discovery one can make is that nothing is impossible.

Once your Vision Creation is completed, and Feels like a reflection of the goal, you are going to use it daily to envision and magnetize that future. Spend time experiencing the reality in as great a depth as possible. The magick lies in knowing that you can and will create the Best life for yourself, and Trusting that it will manifest. That said, we are co-creators with the Universe and sometimes what we think we want and what are best for us are not in alignment. I consciously energize that which I wish to bring forth, but ask for my Highest Good and Trust that this will be brought forth. What more could we ask for than that? You Can do it!
Love and Blessings,
Antonia
