How to create a Vision Board

How to create a Vision Board

A number of books I have read about the Law of Attraction have spoken about the benefits of Vision Boards, and indeed I made one in a course I attended a while back. But I must confess, I never really took the process very seriously, as I associated it with being back in junior school and making collages.

However, as I see the Law of Attraction having a beneficial effect in my life, I realise that, by manifesting my mental and emotional vision in paper and glue, I can hasten the manifestation into reality.

Having decided to do the visionboard thing ‘properly’, I guess that I attracted to me a piece written by my friend and colleague Ralph, from London. I found it valuable, and I think you may also be inspired by it to get snipping up those old magazines (but with the right, focused intention).

See what you think:

“The vision board is a powerful, graphical visualization tool to help you use the Law of Attraction to your own benefit. Also called The Treasure Map, or the Graphical Psyche Map, it focuses the mind so that you draw to yourself the things you want to see in your life come to you.

Like all techniques using the power of the Law of Attraction , the vision board requires that you understand fully the implications of the powerful forces you’re drawing on. The Law of Attraction means that like draws to like, and you need to be careful for what you wish for – because you’re likely to get either it, or be battered around by the way the Law of Attraction is used subconsciously by other people in your life. A vision board is a collage, or map, of pictures, and words and symbols that represent the positive influences you want to invite into your life, and can be used as not just a road map to future happiness and success, but as a means of deflecting the negative influences away from you.

To make a vision board, clear your mind of all extraneous thoughts, for a good 10-15 minutes before starting this project. A good vision board should be something that you can focus on, and have it fill the entirety of your peripheral vision while you’re focused on the center. To populate your vision board, collect a series of magazines, pictures, and inspirational words and poems that mean a lot to you. You’ll also need a white glue stick or tape, and some scissors.

After clearing your mind for 15 minutes, spread the pictures and images around you. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, holding your breath for a count of three heartbeats, with your eyes closed. Focus on the things you want to draw into your life, and open your eyes as you release your breath and all the tension in your body – one of the images on the floor will pop out at you. Pick it up, see how it makes the connection with the process you were visualizing, and cut it out. Repeat – close your eyes, inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth after a hold of five beats…and focus on what you want to pull into your life. Keep doing this while you can feel the energy cycle through you when the energy fades, it’s time to collate what you’ve got.

Don’t be judgemental about what your subconscious mind has picked out – that’s the negativity trying to re-establish the equilibrium of the Law of Attraction . What you’re doing is very powerful, and it’s like placing a rock in a rapidly flowing stream of other people’s subconscious manipulations of reality – don’t get tugged into the currents of it by being overly critical.

Just place the elements you selected on your vision board. We recommend sorting them by a sense of resonance – the most resonant images should go in the center, and work out from there, layering them as you go. You’ll find that as you work with your hands on the images your subconscious mind has selected, that you’ll make associations you weren’t expecting.

Eventually, you’ll have a vision board to use as a roadmap for achieving your dreams and lifelong goals.”

So that’s it - good advice, I think. Do tell me how this works for you.

Regards,
Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I to had the same feelings when I created my very first vision board, I did feel like a school kid let loose with my cuttings, scissors and paste. I thought this is ridiculous, what is this rubbish. At the time of pasting in all my clippings, that’s all they were to me just pictures I had cut out of a magazine, I thought how is this suppose to help me, these pictures mean nothing to me.
    It wasn’t until I had finished it and was then asked to explain my vision board and what it meant to me, that I had a good look at it, at it all just came to me suddenly, it all made sense, I had actually pasted all my dreams and goals and at the time of cutting them out it, I hadn’t even realised.

    So Yes a vision board is fantastic and I look at mine daily, and everything is now falling into place, I am reaching my goals and dreams.
