I believe in the power of visualization and law of attraction, etc. Sort of at least...(keep reading). I have used these methods many times, occasionally intentionally, but often more unconsciously. I could share example after example of things in my life that I seem to have manifested. ✨ Frankly, I live such a dream life that I could be a poster child for manifesting one’s dreams! I like the idea that these practices work like virtual magic. That notion is attractive to my nature. Like, if you wish hard enough you can nearly make any dream come true. But the truth is that I see visualization and law of attraction (LOA) not as magic powers, but as tremendously powerful tools.
For instance I have visualized and overcome several of my fears recently. I let myself imagine, in great detail, some things that were terrifying for me actually coming true. I let it all play out in my mind, and guess what? It wasn’t so bad! So I worked through and overcame things that were really holding me back from living my dreams using the tool of visualization in this way. I didn’t just manifest myself to a better level of living. I didn’t sit and repeat a mantra, like “I live my dream life. I live my dream life. Ooommmm...” Instead I used the TOOL of visualization to work through my mental blocks.
Visualization, or LOA, also helps you specify what it is in life that you want. You can’t visualize something that’s vague and unspecific. So just that process of clarifying our desires helps us feel like we are then making them happen afterwards. Really great things can be happening to you in life, but if you’re unclear what the hell your real dreams are then you could be living said dreamy life and feel rather meh 😏 about it.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Do you use the practices of visualization, Law of Attraction, and manifestation? Do you see them as super powers, magic, tools, or maybe something else?

"Do you use the practices of visualization, Law of Attraction, and manifestation? Do you see them as super powers, magic, tools, or maybe something else?"
Yes. I see it as technology.
Okay great. Please share how you define technology?
"The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes" :)
What is dismissed as 'magic' is merely misunderstood technology.
The movie "The secret" was the one that opened my eyes towards spirituality, yoga and related literature.
The first thing that I manifested using the visualization technique was a bag to put my stuff in before going to college. I didn't want anything fancy, but it had to be big enough, not ugly and 100% on wheels. I did visualize a couple of times going in a store, finding it and buying, but it didn't happened this way. It actually came free and I didn't even had to go to a store. It was brought to my door. There were some of my neighbors friends form Germany visiting them and they knew my father and my mother also. They talked about families and stuff and they found out that I was going to college also in autumn. The day before going back to Germany they came to me and said: don't you need an "almost new" bag to start your college with?. We brought to many with our stuff, gifts and everything and we thought it would probably be more useful for you than for us to get it back to Germany?. You can only guess my answer and my reaction towards the "visualization technique."
It was a small thing that fit my visualization even better as I imagined as it came free and actually at my door. I started to trust visualization since then, but I have to admit you have to be very precise to make something happen and it's also some karma involved making me think that you can't manifest everything, but there's a lot of potential in us that needs to be discovered and used.
It's all mathematics in different forms and equation in the Universe that we are not fully aware of, but gradually we unveil them. I guess that's the purpose of human kind. To acknowledge its true potential and the true Self that's beyond limitations of any kind.
The Secret is a great book/movie and inspired me as well. And, How lovely that your neighbors provided just the item that you wished right when you needed it! Maybe it was a manifestation and it was based upon metaphysical formulas, or waves of universal energy that we don’t yet fully understand? But, couldn’t it also have been that same situation was likely to happen no matter what, and it only FELT like you manifested it because of clarifying in you mind only the day before specifically what you desired ?
Without that mental clarity process the bag would have appeared and you would have appreciated it, but it wouldn’t have felt as notable.
I blooming love magic and serendipity. I’ve long been a believer in the LOA. I showed The Secret movie to my children 10 years ago. I’m not trying to argue or convince anyone else to change their beliefs, But lately I’m really examining my own thoughts for truths...and it seems to me that mental clarification of what we desire seems like a more simple explanation than magic manifesting.
Love this topic, and you are right, visualization is a key tool to create your dreamed life, affirmations as well... What they do is they make you feel you're living already that reality and that's the moment when the vibration of that new reality equals your current vibration and it has no other option but to manifest in this reality.
Check out my blog, I even make videos on this topic. I'm now following to read more of your posts! Cheers . :)
The Law of Attraction is a remarkable law. One of the studies and scientific research confirmed that the law of attraction for humans contributes to the creation of a substance in the human body that dreams and seeks to achieve his dreams and give him the power to achieve what he aspires to.
There is something else about the power of attraction. Sometimes we are accompanied by someone and we remember someone else. It only takes a few minutes to see the person we mentioned next.
Very intriguing topic.
I can see this approach as both a tool or process and something more magical. First it's a tool to use, clear you mind and walk through the steps of visualization in order to learn and grow and overcome. I personally haven't had the patience required or put in the effort to do this well. I'm certain yoga and meditation are great bridges to this but I just haven't had the conviction.
I have spent more time trying to approach manifestation / attraction from a magickal approach however. I say magick but I believe it's more a science. It's just not mainstream knowledge I think. I have tried to focus and visualize on an outcome with all the emotion and feelings that come with it. Then I sat back and waited for it would manifest. I feel like this approach both worked and didn't. I just don't know if I can attribute any of the actual successes to this method. Maybe I just accomplished things on my own accord. I don't know. But I still think there's something to it. Cheers!
Right. It’s very hard to tell if it works, or not, and if it does work if it is some “magic” or just a tool that gives meaning to coincidences.
Thanks for your comment on my other post that inspired this one. 😊🙏🏽
:)
I use visualization quite a lot, I sit an imagine what it would be like to have the things I want and how it feels, everyday. It keeps me motivated and positive and since I started I have definitely noticed things happening! :D
That’s lovely. I’m glad it seems to work for you. :)
Yeah its really worth doing :)
