How do you intend to use creative visualization? A great majority of people utilize it to obtain material possessions. Of course, there’s not a thing wrong with this, but what you may not know is that creative visualization allows for the manifestation of much more than simple objects!
If you utilize creative visualization as it is intended, you can actually change your entire life. Whether it is the power of suggestion or something bigger, the belief in what you’re attempting to obtain is stronger than you realize. Concentrating and focusing on a very specific outcome can, indeed, lead to it.
The Ballad of Morris Goodman
You probably haven’t heard the name Morris Goodman. That’s no surprise. He’s very well known in Creative Visualization circles. Goodman was a very successful insurance salesman who was well-versed in creative visualization. He had, in fact, used it to build his entire insurance business.
But in the 1980’s, after a plane crash, Morris was rendered paralyzed, unable to use any part of his body other than his brain, and unable to breath on his own with the help of a ventilator.
Sadly, doctors were not hopeful that he would ever walk or breathe on his own ever again. His family was notified and plans were made to give Morris the best quality of life that he could have within his new limitations. You know how friends and family are. They always want the best of you but very few see your potential. Loving someone unconditionally means loving them as they are and so it was with Goodman’s family. They would not ask him to be anything the medical profession claimed was impossible.
While still in the hospital, Morris communicated with the staff and his own family by blinking his eyes. What he told them surprised everybody – that he planned on walking out of the hospital on his own.
Morris had practiced creative visualization for years and had achieved great professional success. Since this practice had brought him success before, there was no reason for him to not try and use it to heal himself.
Can you imagine walking out of a hospital when the “experts” have told you it will never happen? The only way you’ll get there is to use the one gift that wasn’t taken away – the ability to harness your imagination. The more detail you can envision, the better.
How Morris Goodman Overcame the Odds
Morris used the process of creative visualization to see and feel himself breathing and walking all on his own. He saw what it would look like when he left the hospital, and even the very route he would take home.
He envisioned the astonished looks he’d get from passers-by. He envisioned the smile he returned that mirrored the inner pride of his accomplishments.
At one point, he convinced the medical staff that he wanted to attempt breathing on his own. He claimed he had an urge to breathe on his own and he wanted to try. They removed the ventilator tube, and he did indeed breathe on his own.
From that point on, his recovery took on a life of it’s own, and in time, he walked out of the hospital on his own two feet – something that the hospital staff never thought they’d see.
He continued on with his successful insurance business, and also became a motivational speaker, proving that it only takes the brain and creative visualization to change your entire world.
Practice makes perfect and practicing visualization will pay you dividends in ways you can’t even imagine… or can you? The miracle is actually just using a skill we’ve all been given but have forgotten how to use. When we practice creative visualization, we can turn miracles into ever day occurrences.
