Preparation for visualization

Preparation for visualization

- [Instructor] Let's talk about visualization. I kind of think of this as a performance-based meditation. In some traditions, meditation is used a way of just being without much focus on a specific outcome. I really appreciate visualization as it helps me generate or create the life that I want. I sometimes use visualization to achieve a certain state. For example, if I'm headed into a meeting where I'm presenting, or I know that the meeting might be stressful, I might use a visualization to access that confident part of myself. And while many meditations can leave us feeling very calm and relaxed, and that's great, we can visualizations or something similar to actually generate more energy. In the following exercise, we'll use visualization to create a sense of joy. But you could use the same technique to create a sense of confidence or strength, or nearly any other state you'd like to achieve.
