Visualization (Thought) Exercises

Everyone has an aura. This is a personal energy field that extends out from your body. Some people have the natural ability to see auras.  Other people may have to learn to see and read auras.

This brings us to an important question. What does psychic energy look like? The simple answer is that psychic energy can take on different properties, colors and density. The most commonly seen psychic energy is surrounding us, as auras. And auras are like mood rings. They can change in color and appearance.

Psychic energy may present itself as misty or glowing. It can be white, gold, green, blue or yellow. Think in terms of electricity, a burning fire, or even vapor. The point is if you can see it in your mind’s eye, it is easier to focus and direct it later.

Here are 2 visualization exercises that may help.

Hand-to-hand Visualization: Begin with this simple exercise. Visualize your own psychic energy gathering in the palm of your hand. It helps if you bring the energy from your chakras (energy power centers) through your body to your hand. If this visualization gets distracting, you can keep it simple. Look at the palm of your hand and envision a growing source of psychic energy.

This is like an “energy transfer” to the palm of your hand. It won’t deplete the psi energy that is in your body. Psi or “chi” energy is like oxygen. When you take deep cleansing breaths, you are distributing the psychic energy throughout your body. You won’t run out… just like you won’t run out of air from your lungs.

Now open up both hands. One hand is filled with your visualized energy. Pass it back and forth between your hands. Allow yourself to see the energy as it presents itself. Allow yourself to feel the weight and heat of the energy as you pass it from one hand to another.

Room Creation: Picture a room. This is your creation. Allow yourself to see the details. What size is the room? What colors? Is there furniture? Is it dark? Try to let the scene develop automatically. It’s as if the room is developing on its own. Let your mind take you wherever it wants to go. Get comfortable and observe.

Continue to completely decorate the room. As soon as you feel comfortable with one phase and you grasp the details, move to the next. Concentrate on objects and furniture you want in the room. Where are the windows located?

So visualization is step one to manipulating energies. Step two is using your thoughts to focus and direct where you want to send the energy.

For instance, when you are envisioning the energy in the palm of your hand, you are focusing on it then directing or moving it to your other hand. When you create your room and decorate it, you are controlling and moving energy through the room. Don’t just see in your mind’s eye; understand that you are moving your energy with your mind.
