A long time ago a friend of mine told me about a job opening in a well known cartoon animation company.  I was excited to get an interview however did not think I would get the job as I had no experience whatsoever.   When I did not hear from the company , even after numerous follow up calls from me, my friend told me something that stuck in my mind to this day.

He said: “Put into that little (!) head that the job is yours.  See yourself sitting at that desk drawing cartoons.”  I think he wanted to smack my forehead to make a point as he said this but thankfully he refrained.

Fast forward almost 15 years and I can see so many examples where the power of thought and visualization has created magnificent opportunities in my life.

A book called “Creating Money” by Sanaya Roman was instrumental in teaching me the art of visualizing and magnetizing.  The exercises are very simple yet very powerful.

In this book I  learned that writing, imagining and visualizing in terms of qualities & emotions is more powerful than specifics such as job titles or names of potential boyfriends.  :-)

Tip #1:  Visualizing on the “essence” of what you want allows more space for the Universe to surprise you in magical ways

So I started making a list of my new ideal job. My list became 10 pages long!  Had I shown this list to any of my friends they would have said: “You are crazy, a job like this doesn’t exist!”  So I kept it to myself.   Everyday I would add to the list and I would sit, meditate, visualize and feel the essence, the qualities, the emotions this new job would bring me.

Tip #2: It’s important to spend time everyday to visualize your dreams and goals.

I did end up getting the job thanks to my friend and thanks to me for doing the work.

Tip #3: Visualize first THEN take action.

Tip #4: Not taking action will not get you any closer to reaching your goal.

Here are a few examples of things you can write or repeat like a mantra:

“I am in a wonderfully fulfilling, loving relationship with a man who respects and adores me.

“I create successful work opportunities where I am appreciated and abundantly paid for my talents.  I feel creative and challenged as I am working with fun people who are stimulating. “

“My work brings me great joy, fulfilment and financial stability/abundance.”

Or my favorite from Gay Hendricks: “I expand in love, abundance and success everyday as I inspire others to do the same.”

Tip #4:  You will always get you what you focus upon so CHOOSE your words  and thoughts carefully!

Not surprisingly, the cartoon artist job I was hired for matched exactly what I had written on my list.  All of it!  The challenge, the creativity, the flexible hours, the abundant pay, the freedom, the fun team members, even my amazing boss reflected the essence I had envisioned!

Tip #5: Dream big!  It’s your life!

Tip #6: Keep it to yourself until your manifestations come to life.  Do not share your dreams and goals  with party poopers.

Bonus: A Powerful Visualization Technique

1. Sit in a comfortable position in a quiet place

2. Take deep long breaths and relax your body

3. When you feel your mind quiet, take your list and read it, taking the time to feel the sensations and emotions this dream or goal evokes in you

4. Spend enough time in this space until you feel filled with this energy you are evoking

5. See your heart center shining like the brightest diamond.  Imagine your heart center beaming the most glorious light.

6.  Let the image of a symbol representing your goal or dream come to your mind.  See it clearly in your mind’s eye or give it a name if it’s easier for you

7. From your shining diamond  heart center imagine a coil spiraling towards your symbol

8. From your coil send this bright loving light from your heart to your symbol until you see your symbol illumined, glowing with light.  Spend a moment here and use your breath to direct the light from your coil.  You are now magnetizing your goal.

9. End this visualization by bringing your symbol into your heart

Do this technique as often as it feels right.
