Advantages of Visualization

By visualizing any work we’re able to do that particular work more easily and efficiently. At the onset when people begin learning this technique it’s seen that dissociated visualizations start to appear in which they’re able to develop images on their own inside the mind quite similar to looking at people on television.

The benefit of dissociated visualization is that using it people can visualize an end result with the emotion associated with it. For example, they may visualize themselves free of smoking and the good feelings they’ll have in them after they become free from this addiction. By imaging performing something like we do in reality, it becomes a lot simpler to actually accomplish it.

Visualization Steps


As a first step of visualization try to see that you have stopped smoking. Having said that, to increase the effect on your mind you can develop images inside the mind with the help of your imagination. Emotions have significant role in anything we do and it’s often seen that emotionally charged propositions made in hypnotic state get quicker response from our mind. So to expedite the process of quitting this addiction try and visualize the relaxation you’ll gain after stopping this habit.

Some of the most common words that you can use in your self hypnosis scripts that are full of emotions are like; sparkling, thrilling, wonderful, exciting and similar other words.

Example Illustrating Use of Visualization

Visualizations are one form of suggestion that we provide to our mind and more dramatic the images that you create are, the better effect visualization has on the subconscious mind. As an example illustrating how it works, try and imagine tobacco smoke. Create a feeling within which tells you it smells and tastes really bad. Relate and associate it to normal smoke so that mind feels it’s a totally disgusting thing. You can also create a similarity to bad odor of garbage or shoes.

Along with self hypnosis, visualization plays an important role in helping you stop smoking. You’ll quickly understand that imagining and visualizing are simple but really effective mediums that work effortlessly to implement the changes. The other thing is that through the process of visualization we can see ourselves in good health after quitting the smoking habit and this makes us feel that it’s possible to stop the addiction thus assisting our mind to achieve this goal easily.
