You Are There

Description

"You Are There" is a guide book offering various types of scenarios that can be used for visualization purposes. This book offers visualizations for three different areas: relieving stress, manifesting, and dealing with fears and phobias. Each section contains a nice variety of scenarios for you to visualize in your mind's eye.

The visualizations outlined in this book can be extremely effective, but are meant to be used in conjunction with an action plan. This means for example, that if I visualize myself being a millionaire, the money won't just magically fall in my lap. The visualization however, would keep me motivated to take the appropriate steps to becoming a millionaire.

Unlike other self help books, this one does not make bold promises that it can instantly turn your life around for the better. Making life improvements is a daunting task, and the visualizations outlined in this book will help you get there, but ultimately, it is up to you to act and step out of your comfort zone.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome! If you're reading this, chances are that you're interested in creative visualization, and are looking for some reference to guide you through the process. Look no further, as the title suggests, You Are There: A Complete Guide of Creative Visualizations for Relieving Stress, Manifesting your Desires, and Treating Fear and Phobias , is a comprehensive guide book that provides a nice variety of visualizations to suit your needs.
Whatever your purpose is for visualizing, be it relieving stress, attracting opportunities, or confronting a specific phobia, You Are There provides a scenario for you to place yourself in your mind's eye.
This book is divided into three sections. The first contains visualizations for anyone needing a quick stress reliever. They are especially useful after coming home from a stressful day of work, or if you just need to momentarily escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Section two is ideal for anyone working towards a specific goal. Whether you're a believer in the law of attraction or not, section two has scenarios that will get you thinking positively, and motivate you into taking the right action. Section three is all about phobias. If you have a certain fear, this section allows you to confront it safely in your mind. This will build confidence and prepare you to face your phobia in real life.
You may also notice that this book is completely pictureless, which may seem unusual for a book that is suppose to be about visualizations. This is done on purpose. The key is for you to use your own imagination based on how you envision the scenario, and not as how I see it.
Let me also stress that while these visualizations can be extremely effective, they are not magic pills. They won't make you %100 stress free for life, opportunities won't be knocking on your door right away, and your difficult problems won't just instantly go away. However, if you use them in conjunction with an action plan, and that means getting your butt off the chair and doing any necessary work, then you'll be amazed at your progress.
If you're reading this book, it's probably because there is some area of your life that you want improved, and it's my sincere hope that there is something within these pages that will help you make that improvement possible. Good luck, and have fun experimenting!
 
SECTION 1: ESCAPE YOUR REALITY
This section is titled “Escape Your Reality”, named so because it provides you a temporary getaway from your hectic life, and places you wherever you imagine yourself to be. The multitude of brief visualizations you are about to delve into are meant to inspire your heart and ignite your creativity.
If you're like the average American citizen, chances are that you work a dull 9 to 5 job 40 plus hours a week. Everyday you are hounded by the constant blare of traffic, and strangers chatting away on their cell phones. These sounds are a reminder of your constant routine. If the pressures of city and work life ever become too much, then perhaps you need a vacation. Not a physical one, as that would be costly, and how would you ever find the time off from work? What you are about to read offers an alternative that is free and can be done anywhere and anytime, even if all you have is five minutes.
These mental vacations can be done while meditating, while sitting in a warm bath with your eyes closed, or during a work break. Personally, I like to have one before bed, as sometimes it can be carried over into my dreams. I'm confident you'll be amazed at what these escapes from reality will do for you inside and out. Everyone needs to unwind now and then, and I believe a good mental vacation soothes your well being, as well as your mind and soul.
It is my hope that these escapes from reality will give you the inspiration to run wild with your imagination. As Albert Einstein once quoted, “imagination is more important than knowledge”. So allow yourself to experiment with the visualizations outlined in this section. You may find one that you particularly like, and stick to that one, or you may rotate between visualizations depending on your mood. Just have fun with it, and remember there is no right or wrong way of doing it.
SUNSET BY THE BEACH
You are walking barefoot, and you can feel every grain as the soles of your feet make contact with the pure white sand. You turn your gaze towards the sun just as it begins to set. You appreciate the warmth as its rays of light penetrates your skin. Just below the horizon of the sun you see a flock of seagulls, and you hear them caw, their calls signaling the end of daylight.
You continue your walk and scan the area, kelp and seaweed lay strewn in the sand. Your gaze locks with the setting sun and the vast ocean. You are so immersed by the brief moment of tranquility that the rest of time comes to a stand still. This moment is abruptly halted as the laughter of children can be heard off a short distance. You turn in their direction, and see two small children, laughing like there is no tomorrow as they chase and kick sand at each other. They could be your own children, if you have any. Either way, you sense their ecstasy as they enjoy this natural wonder in their own little ways. You return your stare to the ocean, its waves rising and crashing to the shores. So powerful are these waves, yet it seems to rise and fall in conjunction with the gentle beating of your heart. You can almost breathe the scent of ocean water. With each inhale of breath, you intake this pristine moment into the center of your soul.
Allow yourself to be absorbed completely by the inner peace this brings you. Be here as long as you like, time is infinite. When you are ready to leave, take a look behind you, and notice the trail of footprints you left behind. Though these prints will be gone the next time you return, they represent your presence here today. In this beach the sun is always setting, and will always greet you with its warmth whenever you decide to return. Feel free to create as many footprints here as you like.
BUTTERFLY GARDEN
You are in a beautiful garden, with the sun shining directly overhead. Its rays of light are casting down, and providing the plants with all the essential nutrients for a healthy growth. If you already have a garden in your own backyard, then you could use that one for your image, or you could create your own, and make it as grand and lively as your imagination allows. Keep your presence in this garden. Look around, it is filled with a nice variety and assortment of plants and flowers, both common and exotic.
In the center, you find a large fountain crafted out of fine granite. In the middle of this fountain stands a beautifully carved statue of a goddess. With both her arms she is hoisting over her shoulders an elegantly shaped vase. Water continuously pours from this vase and into the fountain. Take a seat at the edge of the fountain, and stare into the stream. The water is crystal clear, and you see your own reflection smiling back at you. This is of course, because you are smiling. You are smiling because you feel a sacred connection between yourself and every plant life adorning this garden. You recognize that each and every one of the plants and flowers has its own soul, and you feel the bond between their soul and your own.
As you sit and absorb the timeless beauty, you see a wave of butterflies making their way to the garden. Each one finds an available spot on a flower or leaf and rests or sucks on the nectar. They are of all shapes, sizes, and colors. You feel grateful for the opportunity to witness such an amazing site. As you continue to watch, a butterfly land on your index finger. You lift your finger to eye level, and lock gazes with the butterfly's. For a moment, you feel an intimate connection with the butterfly's soul, just as you did with the plants. The butterfly seems to acknowledge this connection, and then flies off to be with the others.
It makes you wonder, despite how fragile it is, its petite size, and short life span, its existence has brought beauty wherever it was present. You silently thank the butterflies for making your visit here much more memorable.
In this garden, the plants never wither, and the flowers are always blooming. Whenever you decide to make your next return, that is when the butterflies will be returning as well.
MIDNIGHT BONFIRE
It is nearing midnight, and you are at a beautiful beach huddling next to a bonfire pit. You are in the company of your closest friends and relatives. The temperature is dropping, and the cold gust of wind makes you shiver in your fleece jacket. You're watching your friend as he sets the last piece of wood into the pit, and with the light of a match, the bonfire is set.
Move closer to the flames with your arms outstretched to absorb the welcoming warmth into your hands. Everyone in your party huddles closer together and takes a seat on the sand. If you have children, spouse, or a significant other, imagin
