Both visualization and visioning involves the use of active imagination while you relax. \u00a0\u00a0When you visualize, there could be many scenarios that you play in your mental studio.\u00a0 One such scenario is a projection into a time in the future.\u00a0 And so, visualization and visioning are often assumed to mean the same thing, as the latter involves picturing an ideal picture of your future self.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, I did not realize that there could be a difference between visualization and visioning.\u00a0 I had thought them to be the same.\u00a0 Thus, I had used the terms interchangeably.\u00a0 It was only when I started learning more about what visioning is and entails that made me become aware of the difference.<\/p>\n


\nKnowing what the difference is offers benefits.\u00a0 You are able to reach a higher level of understanding about yourself and thus, elevate your success.\u00a0 You begin to realize that there is much more to just sitting down and imagining an ideal picture.<\/p>\n

What is Visualization
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visualization is a singular process.\u00a0 You allocate a couple of minutes to visualize.\u00a0 By letting go of your tension and stress, you first reach the alpha state of relaxation.<\/p>\n

Then, in your mental mind, you invoke your imagination to visualize a desired state of outcome in the future. \u00a0Alternatively, you could be visualizing meeting your spirit guide, healing your chakra centers, cleansing your negative energy, connecting with your inner wisdom for answers and so on.<\/p>\n

What is Visioning
\n<\/strong>
\nVisioning is a life planning process that takes you into deeper self-knowledge.\u00a0 And from here, you become aligned with your creativity, gifts and strengths.\u00a0 You develop a heart-centered vision that will enable you to become your highest potential.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A heart-centered vision is one that is meaningful to you.\u00a0 You are on your way to living a life that matters.\u00a0 Included in the visioning process are visualization exercises that can help you to activate your dream.\u00a0 You do this consistently until your dream manifests.<\/p>\n

Envision From the Inside
\n<\/strong>
\nYou could be shortchanging yourself if you do not know yourself enough when you visualize your future self.\u00a0 The thing is that you want to be able to design the best life possible for yourself.\u00a0 You may be engaged in active imagination during the visualization process but you could be visualizing some thing that you do not really want in an ideal picture.<\/p>\n

It usually happens when you simply adopt other people\u2019s dreams without question.\u00a0 We immediately assume that we want the same things: the red sports car, the bungalow with the swimming pool, a gorgeous romantic partner, success and recognition and so on.\u00a0 We believe that we will be happy with these.\u00a0 And so without spending some quiet time to gain deeper inner awareness, we could be mistaken into visualizing a dream that does not truly resonate from within.<\/p>\n

When there is no complete resonance, you can find it difficult to manifest the ideal picture in your mind.\u00a0 This is because you are sending conflicting signals to the Universe.\u00a0 The Universe is not able to act when you are not clear on your desire.\u00a0 You are not able to keep your focus.<\/p>\n

Hence, it is important to align with what is in your heart.\u00a0 Visioning is a heart-centered inside approach because it requires you to follow your passion, doing what you love and loving what you do.\u00a0 The vision of living a full life incorporates living and expressing your unique and innate self. \u00a0Holding on to this vision, you leverage on the Law of Attraction powerfully to bring it forward.<\/p>\n
