The first tool we're going to touch on is visualization. Now research has shown that there is a strong scientific basis for how and why visualization works. And it's also a well known fact that we stimulate the same brain regions when we visualize an action, and when we actually perform that same action. So for example, as a speaker, psychiatrist, and a Huffington Post blogger, syringes on pill Yay, author of life unlocked and your brain and business shares when you visualize lifting your right hand It stimulates the same part of the brain that is activated, when you actually lift your right hand. This shared area of brain activation when we imagine in action and perform it has been demonstrated extensively in science. So play also reports that the striking example Of how visualisation increases brain activation is seen in a stroke.

So, when a person has a stroke due to a blood clot, in a brain artery blood cannot reach the tissue that the artery wants fat with oxygen and nutrients, and then that tissue dies. So, this tissue Jeff death then spreads to the surrounding area that does not receive the blood anymore. However, if a person with a stroke imagine moving the affected arm or leg, brain, blood flow to the affected area increases and the surrounding brain tissue is saved. Imagining moving a limb even after it has been paralyzed after a stroke increases, increases brain blood flow enough to diminish the amount of tissue death. This is a very, very clear indicator of the power of visualization. Another reason why visualization works is shown in many, many Olympians and athletes.

So, when used this power for a long time using imagery and visualization to, you know run races and to achieve you know specific goal time studies show athletes first imagine running a race in goal time in as much detail as possible, and then are able to execute it after practicing the visualization. To cite a few of the many studies one show that visualizations under hypnosis enabled nationally ranked Stanford male gymnast to execute for the first time several complex tricks that they've been working on for a couple of years. And the gymnast were able to eliminate timing errors in the tricks to increase flexibility and possibly to concentrate on their strength. Another showed that you soccer players increased their confidence in playing when they visualized their moves. visualization has also been shown to improve high jumpers clearing the bar. So clearly there is enough scientific evidence to prove that visualization actually works and how we can incorporate this powerful tool into our manifest manifesting and into our abundance rituals is simply by visualizing what we want visualizing, excuse me, I'm like getting all Tongue Tied here.

Visualizing what it is we want an abundance of isn't an abundance of money or love or joy or wealth. When we take the time to actually visualize in depth what it is we actually want. It allows the manifestation process to become stronger Therefore, a much, much brighter chance of things coming into play. One thing that I do want to say is I speak about Abraham Hicks. Often it is a abraham hicks is a channeled energy from Esther Hicks and really teaches us about the law of attraction. If you are interested in this, I highly suggest checking them out on YouTube, there is a ton of information.

But one of the tricks that Abraham Hicks teaches us is doing 15 minutes of mindful meditation a day and 15 minutes of visualization every day and they say that 15 minutes of visualization is more powerful than nine hours of hard work. So just keep that in mind. And just for me, you know, visualization is really focusing in on every tiny little detail of what it is you are trying to manifest. So whether that be a new office, a new house, trying to manifest the tiniest little details in that and you know, set a timer for 10 or 15 minutes and you don't even need to really and this is the thing with visualization too is when you have a couple of minutes to spare during the day, you can really just sit there and practice your visualization as well. So this is the first tool that will help with abundance and manifestation
