Lets make it really simple to understand:

"Imagine," with your eyes open or closed, walking into your bedroom. With vividness, walk in your door and look around at your bed, dresser, clothes etc. It's very easy.

There done! You just did a visualization.

The reason people say close your eyes is because many people get distracted with visualizing the picture in their mind's eye by things that are happening around them in that moment. That's the only reason. With practice, you will get to the point that you can sit in your living room with the TV on and your family running around and making all kinds of distractions and still be able to visualize with ease.

Now here's the trick to make things manifest for you:

For example if you wan a new bed; use that exact vivid visualization of walking into your bedroom and see your new bed, visualize yourself sitting on the bed from your own eyes as if you already have your new bed. Imagine "from" the scene with your new bed....DON'T imagine looking into the scene "of" your new bed.

There are many different techniques, choose the ones that feel right for you, do it whichever way you want, whichever way appeals to you and generates corresponding emotions in you. Even if you see a red flying carpet and are convinced that it is a ferrari, it will work ... in the same way a box of matches can become a vault full of gold.

Visualization is the creation of vibrations following your mindset, so the technique is of little importance, whether two dimensional, three dimensional or even seven dimensional, that's ok ;-) ... in essence you are creating the virtual pattern of what you want in reality. What is important is to do it as per your temperament and mindset.

Let the fantasy element flow freely, if your red ferrari starts flying all by itself, that's great ...

This is a good question that a lot of people new to visualization ask. This is the same as imagination. I use this a lot for finding out what the masters intended with my karate katas. I imagine my opponent in front of me while I perform the kata side. Then I play the opponent and imagine the kata side what is affecting me.

We don't really see something like it is solid just more imagined or like a memory.

If you tried to get the details of the car a piece at a time, you will find it will come to you.

Hi,

Visualization´s purpose is to get you into a state of being, different authors and sources call it vibration, others frequency, feeling, etc. Such state of being, frequency, vibration ( whatever name you want to give it) will manifest the circumstances related to the vibration you got with the aid of visualization.

Think of a friend for example, remember what is like to be in his/her presence; now think of another friend and what is like to be with him/her, thinking in each two of them gave you a different feeling, right? Well, that´s the deal, that´s a state of being. that´s what matters, not the image. In my experience, in this case for example, holding the image/feeling of a friend will get me to, in any mean, stumble upon with him/her eventually by any means.

So, the image isn´t really important, but the feeling it gives to you, that´s the thing that manifests.

Best,

Creative visualization is an effective method of generating positive vibrations. Pl find an article in this regard About Mydhili M Nair
