Find Your Mind'S Eye

The mind's eye is that place where you picture images in you brain when you close your eyes. It is the dream center that allows you to visualize your hopes and dreams. It can also bring your fears to life. To find the mind's eye you only have to think hard and imagine. Modern neuroscientists have even done studies that suggest visual images are created in one particular region of the brain. Being able to visualize something and actually see with accurate detail is a positive life skill.








Instructions


1. Clear your mind of distractions. Some people use meditation to reach a relaxed state of mind. Once your mind is clear, you can focus on one thought.


2. Think about an ambition you have or a goal you wish to accomplish. For example: If it is a better job, picture yourself behind the desk that goes with that job. If it is learning to play the piano, picture yourself sitting at a piano. Do this for whatever it is you seek to achieve.


3. Expand on the image in your head. You must be able to see the image vividly and in full clarity. It is not enough to be able to see the image; it has to come to life like a movie playing in your mind.


4. Feel the image in your mind. As you see it, you must also hear it, smell it and believe it is happening. For example: If you envision playing a piano, you must hear the actually music coming from the piano and see your fingers moving over the keys. Think about where you are playing the piano and how many people are enjoying your performance. By connecting emotion to the visual image in your mind's eye, you are training your brain to accept this image as reality.


5. Visualize images in your mind's eye frequently. Whatever images you are imaging must be repeatedly viewed in your mind. The more you visualize, the stronger your mind's eye will get.








6. Hold the images in your mind, undistracted, for as long as you can at a time. The more you can convince your mind that this is reality, the quicker your brain will begin to think and act in ways that allow you to achieve your goals.
