What is A “Vision Board” and how can that help me?

Astonishing things can happen for you when you get your dreams in concrete form. The easiest way to do this is to create a “Vision Board”

A Vision Board is a collection of pictures and words that symbolize your hopes and dreams. It can be for one specific topic or it can be for a period of time. The power of a vision board is phenomenal for it brings ideas into physical reality and makes them concrete. You will be astonished at how many things will come true- all you have to do is make it and look at it

What makes a Vision Board work?

Simply by looking at he pictures, words and symbols you place on your board you are activating the “reticular Formation” in your brain. This is the part of your brain responsible for bring things to your awareness that are important to you.

ie) Say your friend gets a red sports car and shows it to you…you will start seeing red sports cars everywhere. They were there before but your “reticular formation” knew they were not of interest to you.

The best book on this topic is “Visioning, Ten Steps to Designing the Life of your Dreams” by Lucia Capacchione PH.D (I was personally trained by Dr Capacchione in her extensive training program)

Supply list:

  1. Poster board or foam core board (foam core makes a nice sturdier vision board- about 12.00 for a package of 3 at your office supply store)
  2. Scissors
  3. Glue (liquid or stick)
  4. Old magazines to get pictures out of (a variety gives better choices)
  5. Soft Music (without words, language activates the left brain & for this creation we need our Right brains)
  6. Your beautiful imagination for your heats desires.

The Process:

A. Gather your supplies and find a large, quite space to spread out. It can be a tabletop or the floor.

What you are looking for here is space to be alone (unless someone else is vision boarding with you). It is important to create the vision board with no talking or interruptions. You want to be in a state of “flow”.

Talking activates the left side of the brain where the language centers are located. For creating of any kind, we want the Right side to be activated.Creativity and spirituality come only through the Right side.

B. Get Focused: Before you cut a single picture out of the magazines, get focused on what you want. Place your hands on the poster board in front of you.

The easiest way to begin creating is to be still and focus on your physical heart center, Ask yourself, “What is most important to my heart now”.

Just relax and you will be surprised at what comes up. (It is helpful to touch your favorite EFT point or to hold the TAT position)

C. Create a “focus phrase”.

Going by the thoughts, feelings, or images that came up for you, craft a “focus phrase” that sums up what you desire.

Some examples could be:

  • More love in my relationships
  • More ease in my financial life
  • More Personal peace
  • Direction for Career change
  • How to attract More clients

The important thing here is to follow what came up for you in the meditation on your heart center. Your heart’s going to rule anyway… Now WRITE your “focus phrase” in the center of your poster board. This is now your mantra to keep you focused.

D. Search for Images and words

Begin to go through your magazine searching for images and words that symbolize your focus phrase. Resist getting caught up in reading articles etc. let nothing deter you from creating this vision board of your dreams.***Important*** You will not be doing any cutting with scissors yet.

When you see an image and words of interest, rip the whole page out and put it in a pile.

Because you are going to have way more images than you have space for, there is another sorting process later. For now…rip away.

E. Begin sorting process:

After you have assembled quite a nice pile of images and words, start the final sorting process. (Remember to have only soft music with no words playing and no talking)

Pick up each item and ask your heart “Does this fit in with my focus phrase?”

This will narrow it down quite a bit.

F. Choose the image that best represents your Focus Phrase.

Trim this up and place it right in the center of your poster board. This is representing your focus phrase and is the cornerstone of you vision board.

G. Begin to trim the other pictures and words.

It is better to get them all trimmed BEFORE you start placing them, on the board. You can clip different words and make them say what YOU want them to say.

(Make sure to trim off anything you don’t want-IE: if there is a perfect picture but it has a cat in it and you don’t want a cat, trim the cat off)

H. Play with the placement Before gluing down.

You will want to place the images and words in ways that are pleasing to you. Don’t rush this part- it is very enjoyable. Pretend that you are “ordering” your future and have fun with the placement.

The images and words can overlap and be arranged in any position that pleases you. (I never make a neat collage; I overlap and get as much of my dreams on the board as possible.)

I. Begin gluing down:

Once you are pleased with the look, begin gluing down.

You are still in a state of meditation, still contemplating your focus phrase.

J. Contemplate your creation:

Just sit and contemplate your vision board. Take in all the beautiful symbols of your desires. You can take this a step further by journaling with different images on the board. I suggest you use non-dominant handwriting to dig really deep into your creative brain.

ie) Write a question with your dominant hand and answer it with your non-dominant hand. It doesn’t matter if you are right or left handed just answer with the “other” hand.

(See my book, “30 Angel Steps to Prosperity” for more detail, Available on my site for no charge)

K. Put your vision board where you can see it everyday.

The power really is in looking and activating the reticular formation. I take pictures of my vision boards and place the pictures in other places as well. I will put one in my car, one in my bathroom mirror, one in the kitchen and place the original large one on my altar.

L. Just enjoy your vision board, let it be easy and watch out for miracles.

    Hello Rebecca,

    I attended the Azna Powerful Financial Blessing on January 11, 2009. I thankful for the free class and I really needed it. I stumble on to your website months ago but didn’t pay much attention to it. I did sign up for your email updates. Although I briefly look at your email, something caught my eye this time. It was the emphasis you put on Azna and the great need for breakthough in my life. When I listen to your Azna clip another thing that caught my attention was your voice. I’m an empath. I felt the love and sincerity and love in your voice. I knew I wanted to be apart of your teachings. In the teaching I felt relax and inspired by Azna and you. I like that you could indentify with our pains because of your own experiences. I got a feel you wanted the best for us and wanted to help us move away from our old ways. I wish you were someone I knew in my everyday life because so few gems have I come across. Often times we keep coming across people that keep us reliving our past woes. Please keep doing what you do because you are an inspiration to us all. I don’t say this lightly either.

    Love and Light,

    Dear Rebecca: first of all, thank you for the Azna call today, 1.11. I believe I have an amazing vision board story. I was housesitting and needed to find a place to rent. The house I was in had no magazines, and I felt this urgency to start a vision board before I left the house to go to a meeting. So I grabbed my own copy of New Age Magazine (not known for its photos of houses!) and went to the back of t he magazine, ripped out a page, stuffed it in a folder and left the house. I remember thinking “This is not what I had in mind!” Fast forward a couple of years. I came upon the folder, opened it and gasped. The ad with the house in it was for Deltec round houses. Guess what shape the house is in where I live now. You guessed it. This is powerful stuff!

    Azna rocks. So do you. We need her SO much. Thank you. Patricia Horan, Kent, CT (in a round house!)

    Thank you Rebecca, for this guidance on creating a vision board. I am reminded of the power of the board I created a few years ago when I wanted to find a house to buy. I made it at a workshop at Unity Church here in Dallas.
    Up until making the vision board, I’d been very disheartened as I looked for something I thought I could manage financially. But within a few days of making the vision board I found the perfect house for me….and about three months later I moved in. When I made the vision board I had no money for a downpayment, no idea how this would happen, but it all came together. I still have the vision board. This particular one began with a picture of myself in the center…surrounded by all of the wonderful things, feelings, words that expressed the feelings I anticipated, etc. I’m convinced of the power. I hope to have one ready for the call on Sunday. Thanks!

    Dearest Rebecca!

    Your e-mail dropped in minutes after I had finished a visualization exercice regarding my new home – what a “coincidence” (anyone still believe in those these days???)

    I’ve found this wonderful interactive tool for creating a kind of vision board: mind42.com!! I find it very intuitive, simple of use and easy to build on – and it’s free! Now I just have to find a way to get it out from there, so I can display it everywhere and really become one with my vision! I feel so empowered just having done this…

    And I hereby solemnly display it to the World:
    http://mind42.com/pub/mindmap?mid=dc70e9c7-bfb8-4e5e-ba01-3339e628f01e Thanks to those who take a minute to admire my Dream, I’m sure that will help it to become reality even faster!

    I’m bringing this to be blessed, along with all the rest, on Sunday, be assured!

    Thank you Rebecca for being such a source of inspiration and mind opening!

    Love & Light,

    Maria
