Successful Visualization and Imagery

Successful Visualization and Imagery Training Has the Following Components



Regular practice. Schedule a time for visualization and imagery. Begin by visualizing two or three times per day—morning and evenings while in bed is a good time and place. Start with 15 minutes of visualization. As you become more skilled you will need less time to practice.

Keep thoughts purposeful and directed. This will lead to a positive experience. Learn to direct and control the images in your head. Let the mindless chatter enter in and exit out, do not pay attention to it, the more you practice the more skilled you will become at controlling your visualization technique.

Two visualizations themes- The more sensory components you add, the more real the visualization
