Following on with our theme on Goal Setting, Children and The Law of Attraction, here is an area where you as an adult may indeed learn from your own kids.

Visualization is a tool that many of the world’s top athletes use with great success, so why not show your kids how to use this method to achieve their own goals?

And as you begin teaching them how to visualize, you will probably be completely blown away by how good they are at it, and more than likely, you will end up learning from them.

If you are excited about the Law of Attraction and how consciously applying it betters your life, you’ve probably wondered if this is something you could teach to your child. What is the right age for kids to learn this principle, and the wonderful practice of visualization?

A child can be taught to visualize as early as age 4 or 5, and the Law of Attraction can be understood by some kids at that age while others will better comprehend it at age 7 or 8. Intellectually understanding how the law works takes a certain level of cognitive development, but intuitive understanding it is possible at a much earlier age. This is why a very young child can visualize, and be practicing the Law of Attraction with great success, long before they can pronounce the term or explain it in words.

And of course, explaining it isn’t as important as living it. Visualization, the key strategy at the heart of LOA, is a skill that kids take to like ducks to water. In fact, learning to visualize is much easier for children than for most adults. That’s because visualization operates on the principle of imagining, and children imagine all day long. It’s a skill they are born with, and one they tend to forget as they grow up. That’s why it’s important to teach them the power of visualization while they are young enough to imagine spontaneously.

If you teach them that skill early, they become established in it and confident of their ability to make their wishes come true years before the world tries to talk them out of the importance of imagining. Having experience with the creative power of their mind through visualization, they will be resilient to influences that tell them imagining is frivolous.

If you aren’t confident of your own ability to explain the concept of Law of Attraction and to guide your child through the steps of visualizing, get a good children’s book on the subject and give it to your child. Review it yourself first, so you can answer basic questions as your child works through the process.

Don’t think you have to be an expert with all the answers before you can share what you know about visualization with your little one. You can learn together, mastering the fine points and sharing your successes. Because of your child’s natural ability to imagine, you may very well find that much of the time your child is teaching you.

The important thing is to make a start, to make a commitment to convey this most important knowledge that empowers your child to create her life and reality through her own conscious choice. It is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child, and it will bless her life forever.

Visualization: How to Tweak It for Better Results

Have you tried practicing visualization and applying the Law of Attraction but with less than stellar results?
Don’t be discouraged, because you are not alone. While the principles are simple, the practice of visualization is a skill, and like most skills, it sometimes takes a little study and “tweaking” until you get it.

Neville Goddard (or just “Neville” as he preferred to be called) was a 20th Century teacher of visualization who wrote an outstanding primer on the subject called The Law and the Promise. It’s an excellent place to start your study of effective visualization.

Neville taught that the biggest mistake people make when they visualize is failing to imagine from the perspective of the wish fulfilled. Instead they imagine from the perspective of their longing. For example, if you want a gold necklace, it does no good to imagine it sitting in the store window. You need to imagine wearing it on your neck. Imagining the object as something apart from you, as something you don’t already have, keeps the object forever in your future!

When you imagine your wish, do so as if it already has come true in your life. Close your eyes and let yourself feel all the joy and sensations you expect to feel when your dream actually manifests. Imagining in this way, says Neville, builds a bridge between ourselves and the object of desire. You could call it a wormhole in time, a channel through which the object can travel to reach us.

Until your desire manifests, imagine on it daily from a dreamy, drowsy state. The most effective times to visualize are when drifting off to sleep or in the twilight state as you are waking up. That’s because the Subconscious is most alert when the conscious mind is least active. Visualizing is dropping a wish into the Subconscious, which then goes to work to make the wish come true in the world.

Don’t put deadlines on your dream, or decide the means and schemes through which it will manifest. Leave the universe free to work out those details. Fall asleep happily on your wish every night, and in time it will manifest in your life.

Sometimes deep-held attitudes (such as low self-esteem, the belief that money is evil, or the belief that a certain illness can’t be cured) can temporarily block our ability to manifest a desire. If you’re visualizing something when you go to sleep at night, feeling excited about your dream, then find yourself during the day thinking, “What am I doing? This can never happen,” you’re victim of a subconscious blocking attitude.

When that doubting thought arises, slip away to somewhere quiet and ask your subconscious mind to tell you precisely why it feels that way. If you listen, it will reveal to you (then or as the day progresses) the long-held, subconscious belief that holds your current attitude of lack in place. Listen to the objection, consider its merit, then explain to your Subconscious why this old belief is not true (or is no longer true). Then re-state your wish as an affirmation, repeating it three times with focus (aloud is best). After that, resume your daily routine.

If doubtful mind-chatter starts up again, get quiet once more and ask why. Another layer of the onion of doubt will surface. Patiently consider the objection, and explain to yourself why it no longer holds, just as you did before. Keep doing this until all the objections are cleared and you can be in one piece about your goal. This will dissolve any personal blocks in the path of your desire coming true. When your conscious and subconscious minds align in the belief that a wish is good and attainable, no doubtful mind-chatter is left to stop the wheels of creation from delivering your dream to your door.

The universe is a magical place, and mind is the magician. Learn to visualize skillfully, and nothing will stop you from actualizing any golden imagined thing you intend to make real.
