Creative Visualization

The incorporeal (non-physical) soul, situated in the centre of the forehead manifests (reveals) itself as three energies. Although each energy can be given a different name, it is actually the same energy, the soul, functioning on three different levels at the same time. These are the mind, which is the thinking faculty (energy) of the soul; the intellect, which is the decision-making and visualizing faculty (energy) of the soul and the personality characteristics, commonly called ‘sanskaras’.

In the practice of meditation, on one hand, the mind is used to create pure, positive and powerful thoughts or affirmations based on the basic qualities of the soul like peace, contentment, happiness, love, joy, power, etc. Along with that, the intellect is used to create visual images of the same thoughts, which is called “creative visualization”. Creative visualization may be used in various ways to experience true relaxation of the mind.
