A Lesson From Survivors.

You hear stories all the time about people who survived accidents, being trapped or washed away at sea, the horrors of war or imprisonment. Almost all of the time, the ones who survive the ordeal are the ones who had a strong vision of something that they still had to experience in life. A vision of something left undone that they were committed to making a reality.

We all think in images.

Don’t believe me? Let’s say I ask you about your car, your home or your kids. I bet that you cannot think about them for a second without having at least a fleeting image of them in your mind. Can you? You know you can’t.

That is why having a vision of who you want to become and where you want to go is so important.

Think back to any point in your life where you wanted something beyond your current situation – maybe it was a new car, or bigger place to live or something else that required you to expand from your current situation. How did you make it happen?

First you knew what you wanted, then you had to see yourself as growing into that new situation.

Once you saw yourself, once you got the vision of yourself in that new situation, that is when you developed the CERTAINTY that you could do it.

Once you see yourself as a new person, it changes how the world plays out for you. It really does. Remember when you bought a new car; you started seeing other similar cars more often? Or when you joined a new club or school, you started to notice others that were also a part of that new school. Did those other cars and other people just drop out of the sky? No. They were always here, always around you but you never noticed them before you became ‘open’ to them. When you see yourself as a new person, the whole world opens up those new experiences to you. It’s like when you first got married.

Let’s say for a moment that I will give you $1,000 if you can get your hair trimmed in the next hour. What did your mind immediately do?

It came up with solutions, right?. You may have started to think that Celeste can get me in for a hair appointment with no notice, or that your neighbor does hair, or maybe you thought of the new place you drive by the other day or maybe you said to yourself that you have scissors and no one ever said that someone else had to actually do the trimming.

The idea of using a Steam Room or Dry Sauna for Weight Loss or to cleanse one of impurities is nothing new. Many tribes of American Indians have a history with them as do other regions of the world, such as Finland and Turkey. If you’ve ever experienced one, and most of us have, you know how refreshing it can be to sweat out the impurities that we accumulate simply by living and breathing in our toxic world.

Visualization is basically using the ‘Mind’s Eye’ to see things in your head. Fact or fiction. We all have the capacity to visualize. And, we all think in images to begin with. Don’t believe me? Let’s say for a moment that I ask you about your kids, your home or your car. I bet that you cannot even think about them for a moment without at least a fleeting image of them in your mind. Can you? You know you can’t.
