The continued popularity of the 'law of attraction' is apparent in the recent successes of The Secret and other similar books, including The Complete Idiot's Guide® to the Law of Attraction. A 'hands-on' approach visualizing goals is using Vision Boards.
A Vision Board (sometimes called a Treasure Map, a Visual Explorer, or Creativity Collage) is typically a poster board on which readers paste or collage images that represents goals they want to accomplish. These images can be photographs, drawings, pictures torn from magazines, or even three-dimensional representations (such as necklaces, shells, or other keepsakes) that assist the reader in imagining the goal he or she wants to accomplish. The idea behind the creation of these Vision Boards is that when one surrounds one's self with images of what they want to accomplish, they will be more likely to take steps each day to attain these goals. Vision Boards add clarity to people's specific desires, and feeling to their visions. Taking the time to illustrate these desires makes the goal indelible in the reader's mind.
In The Complete Idiot's Guide® to Vision Boards, author Marcia Layton Turner takes readers through this effective means of implementing an improved future through the power of visualization. She teaches readers to make strides toward achieving their most important goals through step-by-step instruction in:
- Learning how to vividly imagine the desired results (e.g., attracting the perfect mate, achieving improved health, creating improved career opportunities, building stronger relationships).
- Breaking through unconscious that limits belief and opening one's self toward the possibility of transforming the future.
- Utilizing visualization techniques to truly see an improved future.
- Using creative methods to craft the Vision Board that is ideal for each reader, regardless of their level of creativity or artistic skill.
- Using the Vision Board to 'retrain the brain' to start believing that these aspirations and ideas can be accomplished.
