Decide What You Want, Assume You Can Have It Charli Williams

In this chapter, we are going to learn how to practice visualization. Visualization is one of the most powerful tools we humans have for manifesting change in our lives.

The word "visualization" is really a misnomer. It is not necessary to see something with your mind's eye, as you would with your organic eye. It simply means to see, sense, feel (emotionally and with the physical senses) or imagine your desired outcome, or goal.

Decide what you want; assume you can have it; visualize it with as much energy as you can; then let it go (as discussed in the previous chapter), and go into your day with a sense of joyous anticipation.

Energetic Visualization: Neville, in his book "Resurrection," says: "If we would become as emotionally aroused over our ideals as we become over our dislikes, we would ascent to the plane of our ideals as easily as we now descent to the level of our hates…for we become that with which we are en rapport."

This refers to the fact that your thoughts have the power to create your reality. The energy of thought is real. Worry, doubt and fear are powerful emotions. So are love, joy and delight. When you decide what you want and assume you can have it, you feel a great sense of joy. Use this powerful emotion of joy while focused on having already accomplished your desire.

For example: Eric wanted a particular house, and wasn't sure he was going to qualify to buy it. Rather than worrying about it, he did this: He assumed he would own that home. He sat in the backyard of his rental residence, closed his eyes on his current world, and put himself into the space of the new home. He imagined he was in the backyard of that home. He listened to the (imagined) sound of the wind in the pine trees. He (imagined) the scent of the flowers growing in the "nearby" flowerbeds. In his minds' eye, he "saw" the back of the house, from the perspective of the yard. The home he desired had a swimming pool with a waterfall. He listened to the sound of the water falling, and he smelled the slight scent of the chlorine in the pool. He could "hear" the muffled sound of the pool filtering system, hidden in its enclosure.

Emotionally, Eric "felt" the joy of having achieved ownership of that home. He stayed in that space of enjoyment for a while. Then, breathing deeply and smiling, he gave a silent "thank you," and let go of the visualization.

Opening his eyes, he "knew" he would be moving into that home. Therefore, he began taking the steps necessary in order to make the move: planning the packing, getting rid of items he wouldn't be taking with him, finding a moving company and getting estimates. Because the new home was bigger than any house he had lived in before, he even called the utility companies to get estimates of monthly charges for gas, electricity and water in a home that size, in that community.

To visualize successfully, close your eyes on the world around you and enter the world of your creative imagination. It is from here you create your future.

NOTE: When the financial goals have been met and continue being met, when the material, physical and romantic goals are met; the only things to focus on now are helping other people and enjoying life. This is where you want to put your visualization energies.

Have fun with this. Spirit wants you to win, and Spirit has a great sense of humor.

Assume you will accomplish your goal. You are going to assume something, so you might as well assume something that supports your desires. (Again, use Old Path, New Path) Act as if … by preparing for it. Go into your day excited, knowing you will accomplish your desire. If you are honest and honorable, if you give your gift to others and serve them well, you can have what you want in life.

In more than fifteen years of working with entrepreneurs and business owners and more than five years of teaching my clients intuition development, this is my honest and sincere experience.

Use that Spiritual part of yourself to enhance your humanness. That's not cheating; that is living life more fully.

When you are Living in the Rhythm, stress will disappear. When you lose your stress, your body will be healthier. When you are used to Living in the Rhythm, you will have your own personal experiences to share with others, and encourage them to Live in the Rhythm, too.

Just as you want your own children to be healthy, wealthy and happy, Spirit wants the same for you. Life was not meant to be a struggle. It can be easy and fun, if you are willing to have it be so. You can be as happy as you are willing to be.

You are the coach and the quarterback in your own life. Spirit will support your choices in the game of life, whatever they may be. If you are self-confident and determined to find a way to win, Spirit is your A-Team. If you are timid and unsure, Spirit will sit back and wait for you to change your mind. Help and guidance are always available to those who ask for it.

This thought reminds me of the remarks of a professional football coach during the playoffs one year. His team was down at half time. When the media man on the field asked him his plan for the second half, he replied: "We just have to go out there and try to win." His words and his tone of voice said it all. Of course, his team lost. The coach had no confidence in them.

"Try" is a word in our language, it is not an action. It is an excuse in advance for not succeeding. "Well, I tried to get to your dinner party last week."

When you decide to win this game, you will. With the help of your A-Team, you will find a way. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers go into a football game, they have a goal and a plan. The goal is to make more points than the other team, and win the game. They have a game plan. Then the game begins. The other team will make some moves that cannot be predicted in advance, and the plan changes. But the goal doesn't change.

It is same for you: Decide what you want; assume you can have it; ask your A-Team for guidance; and go into your day with a sense of joyous anticipation as you follow your plan. Listen to your intuition, enjoy the magic and follow up on your telepathic guidance.

If at first you do succeed, try not to look surprised. And do enjoy! You are Living in the Rhythm when life is easy and fun.

An important note: As with anything new, success comes with practice. One does not get up off the sofa and run a marathon. One gets up off the sofa and walks around the block. After doing that for a while, one walks around two blocks, and so on.

Unlike other practices, though, Living in the Rhythm (LITR) will come to you quickly. It doesn't take much: you could be seeing results immediately, or it could take a few practices. Be patient with yourself, and keep practicing. You will succeed. Remember that you are responsible for your own results. There is great personal power is recognizing your responsibility.

Remember, too, that intention is more important that technique. Take these ideas I have given you, practice, and adapt them to doing what works best for you. Keep good notes, so you will remember your progress.

If you are "trying" to follow a particular technique, you are not focusing on the results. Focus on results.

Winning and success - as I define those words - is having what you want in life. Being happy, healthy, having good relationships with your family, clients and friends. Having the business success that makes you happy.

After all, you live in America, you have freedom of choice, and Spirit is on your side.

Practice with these tools. As with any tools, it doesn't matter how powerful they are, you will only get results when you pick them up and use them.

Keep track of your results in writing, to help you remember. Notice how the results are the same or different than your desired results, and then - most importantly, pay attention to your response to the results you have achieved. Fine tune your techniques by looking at what worked in the way you wanted it to and what didn't. Then practice, practice, practice. You will succeed very well, and very soon as long as you keep practicing.

Keep your own counsel: Jesus is quoted as saying, You are either with me, or you are against me. I have always thought that was a little harsh, until I started studying energy fields of the body. The fact of the matter is this: you are either adding to my life force energy, or you are sucking it away. Therefore, have a care with whom you choose to share your LITR work. Discuss this material with like-minded friends; do not bother attempting to convince the skeptics. If someone asks you questions out of a true curiosity and interest in learning, okay. Otherwise, keep your own counsel.

Attempting to enroll non-believers in your new beliefs and abilities will only undermine your results and slow your success.
