Creative Visualization Creative visualization refers to the practice of seeking to affect the outer world by changing your thoughts and expectations. Creative visualization is the basic technique underlying positive thinking. Creative visualization is the technique of using your imagination to visualize specific behaviors or events occurring in your life. Our faculty of imagining is our ability to form new images and sensations that are not perceived through the senses (sight, hearing and the other senses). Imagination helps make knowledge applicable in solving problems and is fundamental to integrating experience and the learning process. A basic training for imagination is listening to storytelling (narrative), in which the exactness of our chosen words is the fundamental factor to evoke worlds. It is a whole cycle of image formation or any sensation which may be described as hidden as it takes place without anyone elses knowledge. Advocates of creative visualization suggest creating a detailed schema of what you desire and then visualizing it over and over again with all of your senses. In other words, visualize: what do I see? what do I feel? what do I hear? what does it smell like?. In sports a baseball player may visualize the perfect swing over and over again to mentally train muscle memory. Many celebrities - Oprah, Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Anthony Robbins, Will Smith, Jim Carrey, among others - endorse the use of creative visualization in overcoming challenges, and claim it had a significant role in their success. Visualization practices are a common form of spiritual exercise. In Vajrayana Buddhism - a multifaceted system of Buddhist thought and practice which evolved over several centuries - for example, complex visualizations are used to attain Buddhahood.
