Creative visualization is a technique that utilizes the power of the imagination to manifest balance and healing in life. This practice can be used to address disorders on all levels of existence. We can use the imagination to bring about all things desired through creating an image, feeling, or idea in your mind, then focusing positive energy toward it until it becomes a reality. The fundamental foundation of this method is the idea of working with the mind to heal the human energy system, therefore addressing illness and disease, which had previously developed in the body.
Creative visualization can be implemented in an endless variety of settings and used to work with a myriad of disorders. Both traditional medical and alternative care practitioners utilize forms of visualization in assisting their clients. By imagining only health, well-being, and balance in your life, you can reduce pain and ease anxiety. Paint your life’s portrait with the colors and moods you find calming and nurturing. Your own intuitive guidance system will lead the way to creating a picture, which will restore your body to its ultimate state of being. This is an amazing technique to put into practice with children, as they are masters of imagination and accustomed to the world of creativity.
Families from all walks of life can deeply benefit from this method, as it simultaneously addresses concerns and conditions in both the child and the parent. A mother caring for a son with cancer can take the child on a beautiful healing journey of imagination with a colorful narrative focusing on joy, love, and fun. This process not only benefits the recovering patient by balancing energy, reducing pain, and easing symptoms, but also heals the storyteller by infusing peace and minimizing anxiety over their child’s illness.

This method allows the loving vibration of the Divine Source to resonate with us, restoring balance and vitality on all levels. Like meditation, creative visualization is of our own manifestation with no financial burden or invasive procedure. It is through intention on love and awareness of our energy system that we can empower ourselves and our families to heal.
Take Flight
Here is an exercise to take you to new heights. You're going to take a little trip with your child's energy. I'd like you to go to a place in your home where you can be alone for twenty minutes. This could be in your bedroom, an office, or even the bathtub. I know it's hard to come by in a busy family, but consider this a small step in changing your ingrained patterns and behaviors. You need to start making time for your own explorations into uncharted territory. You're worth it!
You may use a soothing instrumental CD in the background if you find it helps you achieve a more tranquil state. Get yourself into a relaxed position and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths through your nose and exhale from your mouth. Now I would like you to visualize your child. Project a beautiful picture of your child into your mind's eye with as many details as you can bring forth. Think how much you love him. Send love. Send hugs and kisses. Send light and grace. Now allow your child to take you on a flying journey. Hold his hand and soar into the sky together, with your child slightly in the lead. Where do you go? What do you see? Are you able to distinguish any particular colors or places? Do you hear sounds? Is anyone else there? Visualize this magical journey with your child. Be open to anything that comes before you and allow your creativity to blossom. There are no limits to the places you can go on this flight of mystic whimsy.
Spend as long as you wish soaring through the air with your child. You are both exuberant and happy to be together. Take the time to explore new vistas and peek into hidden nooks and hollows. When you naturally feel yourself returning home, thank your child for his love, time, and energy. Embrace him with a warm hug and plan to do it again, to discover distant horizons together. When you return to your body (yes, you did leave for a bit), give yourself a few moments and then write your reflections of the flight in your journal. Try to recall the details: sights, sounds, tastes, textures, and smells. Did you receive messages from your child or anyone else? How did you feel? Did you learn anything?
Don't be surprised if your child brings you to a departed loved one with whom he enjoys spending time in the heavens. All energy is eternal and can be accessed when we are in the proper state. Our soul bodies are not limited by time or physicality. Please repeat this exercise as often as you like. My daughter and I go on flights together on a regular basis, and I continually learn new things about her. I often go into this visualization just before falling asleep for the night and have gone on to have incredible dreams, leading to amazing insights. Where will you go when you allow your feet to leave the ground?
