The power of using positive visualizations is well known. Athletes visualize their performance, others use vision boards and so on. But from a spiritual point of view, using our imaginations to create visualizations is extremely important.

In his lecture “Imagination – Your Only Creative Faculty,” Master of Yoga Dr. George King said:

“When you begin to use visualization everything is enhanced. You are sending out a request. You are creating something. You are creating a set of conditions in such a way that, if they are done strong enough, those conditions must be brought into being.”

He goes on to say:

“You, in your visualizations, think of a certain thing, make it out of mind substance and, sooner or later, it will be made out of physical substance. Let us never, never forget this.

The great secret — nay, the most profound secret — behind a raising of the kundalini is the correct use, in the beginning, of this great, great power of visualization. The great secret of opening the chakras and the psychic centers is the correct use of visualization—and, in this particular case, the correct visualizations.”

So not only does developing our imagination help us become more powerful spiritually, it also is an important step to take in our evolution.

Something you can try
The imagination is an essential tool when sending out spiritual energy in prayer to the world or individuals. This typically involves visualizing white light flowing to the recipient. Here’s a short video explaining how to do it. 

Practice makes perfect. In his lecture, Dr. King said that sending absent healing is a wonderful way to practice using our imagination. He uses an example of someone who has an injury to their shoulder:

“If you are sending healing to your friend, try to visualize them as being perfect. Don’t see that shoulder. Now if they have some kind of a complaint and you don’t consciously know what it is, then you’re not going to see it. But it might be a stiff shoulder or a stiff back, or a stiff neck, or something like that.

Try not to see it. And if you do see it — if you do see it — then immediately counteract. Because you see it, you’ve visualized it, you’ve sent out a mental picture towards them. Immediately try to counteract that by charging them with brilliant White Light or many other colors.

… charge them with an energy and do not see that complaint, but try to visualize them as being perfect.”

Take a moment and send out white light to someone you know is in need of healing. How did you find it?
