“Commitment unlocks the doors of imagination, allows vision, and gives us the "right stuff" to turn our dreams into reality.” James Womack.
SIMPLE
Making a Vision Board is a simple process. Remember, simple does not necessarily mean easy.
You will need magazines, scissors, glue stick, poster board, a notebook, and a few friends if you want to make this a group event. In a group setting everyone is able to share in the process of finding the perfect pictures, which makes for great fun. Making a vision board can also be done on your own. Once all the materials have been gathered, you are ready to do some soul searching. Listen to the meditation, and follow the exercises on the audio portion of this work.
WISDOM
In the late 70’s, Shakti Gawain was a pioneer in the resurging field of new thought. In her book, Creative Visualization, she talks about using imagination to manifest what we want in our lives. Not until 20 years later – with the release of the movie, “The Secret” – did this notion of using our natural power and energy for the purpose of creation and manifestation, become widely accepted. Although this premise of creative manifestation had been known for centuries, the time was right to be reminded of the incredible potential residing within every human being.
Shakti Gawain said, “Imagination is the ability to create an idea of mental picture in your mind.” Today we hold the notion that feelings are are a keystone to creative expression. We believe it is more important to be able to “feel” ourselves in the perfect relationship, reading out loud to one another, cooking together in the kitchen, or hugging and kissing each other. Conjuring up an image without feeling is not enough.
Where is the mind located? You might believe it is in the head. Popular science has discovered receptors in our gut and throughout our body. I often ask my clients, “Where do you feel this in your body?” Remember this as you flip through the pages of magazines, looking for pictures that bring a smile to your face. They may have little to do with your ideas of what you feel or think you want or need. Example: For years, trees and lakes have been showing up on my vision board, even though I live in a desert? Trust that your inner wisdom knows exactly what your soul needs to flourish.

NOW
Doing a vision board requires that you be totally present in the moment. Turn off your cell phone, TV and computer. Don’t be concerned with the outside world. Take this time out and make the most of it. 2015 is a time for you to recalibrate and rejuvenate. Making a vision board is an essential part of the rebirthing process.
ENERGY
Many years ago while I was in Chile, a Mapuchi Shaman said that women no longer get together to craft. It used to be a sacred aspect of community living. Something happens when two or more souls join forces and share. This is why I suggest that friends meet for manifestation circles; creating a vision board is a great place to start.
Vision Boards require faith. Faith believes in something that has not yet manifested in the physical world. Over the years I’ve conducted hundreds of Vision Board Playshops, and I’ve witnessed amazing results. My clients would call me a year later to tell me that practically everything they had envisioned on their board had come to fruition. Example: One woman wanted to visit her brother in Texas but couldn’t fit it in to her busy schedule. A month she learned that his company was holding a seminar in Dallas where she resided. Coincidence or Synchronicity? Refer your vision board once a week to see how you are progressing. Do this exercise several times a year. Please let me know the results of your Vision Board a year from now!
