When you make the time to tune into the bigger vision for your life – to steep yourself in it with all of your senses, you can literally call it forth into your life.   Napoleon Hill said “What You can conceive and believe, Vision = Clarity and Focus! When you make the time to tune into the bigger vision for your life – to steep yourself in it with all of your senses, you can literally call it forth into your life.   Napoleon Hill said “What You can conceive and believe, you can achieve.”   Most folks don’t spend enough time in the conceiving part, so there’s no way they ever get to believing.   That’s where visioning comes in. The visioning exercise posted below was recorded during our first 2011 VisionCasting call, a monthly, free opportunity for you to tune into the vision for your life from the perspective of your Higher Power. For more information on visioning, click here for the Visioning FAQ. To share your experience or wisdom with our Network or to sign-up for bi-monthly inspiration and tips, please contact us. 30-Minute Visioning Podcast (Facilitator, Sue Zeal Oliver) (down-loadable version at the bottom of the page). Transcript from the 1.6.2011 Visioning Exercise: We'll create a reflective, contemplative place for about 15 minutes and then will ask our Higher Power to share this vision with us. We'll open up the phone lines at the end, for anyone who wants to share. Please get at least 2 pieces of paper and pen, pencil, markers, or even crayons. Write the words “Vision” on one page, in small letters in the top part; then, “Be” on the back of that page (or use a new sheet); write “Release” on another side or sheet, and then “Anything Else” on the fourth side or sheet. You can use these sheets to write down any images, sensations, words, etc., that come to you during the process, either as they come forth or at the end. I highly recommend doing so throughout. Background of Visioning Visioning is a tool for connecting with the realm infinite possibilities – your true nature. That which you do not know with your five senses. It goes beyond visualization which is limited to what you have actually seen with your eyes (for example, imagining yourself successfully dunking a basketball through a hoop). In visioning, you ask your Higher Power to share the biggest possible vision for your life. Or for a project, situation, venture – it can be used for any area of your life. You can create time for visioning monthly, weekly, even daily…from a few minutes to several hours. I include it for about 10 minutes in my daily spiritual practice and for a few hours each month. The technique here includes Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith’s line of simple questioning. You can find out more about his programs by Googling Life Visioning or going to his website. I’ll be sharing four simple questions that you can record on your IPOD, phone or other device and use during your own meditation and journaling practices. Ground rules: Ask your censor, left brain, and inner critics to take a break. There’s no right or wrong way to do visioning. It’s highly likely that some of what comes forth will not make sense. That’s OK! Sometimes the answer will come later down the line, and other times, it may not. Please honor the reflective space and the variety of spiritual traditions. Allow each person to share AND be laser like, focused in your sharing. Visioning Questions: What is the Greatest Good for my life in 2011? What does it look like? Sound like? Feel like? Smell like? Taste Like? What am I to be in order for this Greatest Good to unfold? What am I to release in order for this Greatest Good to unfold? Anything else for me to know about this Greatest Good for my life? Giving great thanks for what has unfolded and for the truth that as we believe it, it is so. That we are indeed here for a Higher Purpose – spiritual beings having a human experience. ************************************ Happy Passioneering!
