When you take a closer look, using creative visualization is much like planting a garden. Similarities exist between harvesting a tomato crop and manifesting a tomato-red sports car. There's a certain process to follow to reap the desired results and when followed, those expected results are almost always a sure thing.

Both visualization and gardening are tools of manifestation.

With visualization, you can create whatever you want, provided you're able to settle on one thing and follow known processes through to their successful completion. You can use creative visualization to land a new job, find a new relationship, improve your self confidence, or manifest a new home. In fact there's nothing you cannot be, have, or do by using creative visualization effectively and consistently.

Gardening has its own known processes. But if you follow these proven procedures you can realize a bountiful crop of your own choosing.

When gardening, you first choose what seeds you want to plant. If you choose corn, you can expect to harvest corn. And nothing but tomato seeds can produce tomatoes. You prepare the soil and then plant the seeds. But it doesn't stop there. You have to water those seeds, feed them with nutrients, nourish them with sunshine and repeat this process over and over again. After a period of time, tiny sprouts burst through the soil, pointed towards the sun. Once a solid root takes hold, obstacles mean nothing to them.

Using creative visualization, the process is similar. First, you choose your desired outcome. In other words, you settle on the outcome you plan to ultimately manifest. Next, you prepare for it by creating sensory-rich images in your mind and you imagine already having whatever it is you want. Continue to nurture your goal by visualizing the image and feeling its presence, hence activating the creative process, just as water and sunshine engages Mother Nature to produce an abundant crop.

But you can't stop too soon or the whole process shuts down. You need to nurture your goal and repeatedly visualize it to bring it to life. In other words, you must pay attention to the seedling and not neglect it.

Stick with it and then you can start to look for evidence of manifestation. Just as the seed begins to sprout, so too will your ideal. But you need to be tapped in and alert to the messages you receive. And you have to be willing to act on those impulses at once.

Both processes work. Whether you are gardening or using creative visualization, you have to be prepared to take repeated action, nurture your seed or idea, allow for the required time, and engage Source Energy to assist in the process. It's also important to note that you will manifest in accordance to the seed you plant.

Make your creative visualization clear instead of cloudy and stick with it and you will have complete dominion over your world and everything in it.
