What is the "Proper" way or "Certain way" to word affirmations to get them into the subconscious so they resonate with what I am trying to manifest?
AND!
Is there a proper way to visualize what I want to make it more than a dream?
Any answers would be most appreciated!

Even though you may affirm and visualize, don't forget to take some action as well. Maybe it would help if we knew your specific affirmation. We could hear the sentence, or sentences, and give some suggestions and whatnot.
There are "best" ways to word your affirmations, but it seems so many people use variations. I would recommend you keep it simple. Use what Brian Tracy refers to as the "Three P Formula," or, Personal - Positive - Present Tense. I would add another "P" to that formula: Passionate!
Personal: Start the statement with the word, "I."
Positive: Only focus on what you do want, not what you don't want.
Present Tense: Self-explanitory
Passionate: Always feel the positive emotions that go along with the attainment of the goal or affirmation. Feel it as though it has already manifested.
For visualization, always see the END RESULT! Don't visualize taking the steps to get there. Always see it as already here. You are sitting in the car, talking to the soul-mate, looking in the mirror at your transformed physique, etc.
Always visualize upon waking, and just before bed. Put the goals you want to visualize on 3X5 cards, and go one by one and visualize through them. Sometimes, I will mix them together. For example, right now, I have a goal of having a large apartment in Tokyo, and also finishing my new book by a certain date. I might visualize typing the words, "THE END," in the manuscript while I am sitting in that apartment. Be creative.
Another way to help cement these goals into your subconscious is to hold the goal up against two questions:
How Much, and By When? When you write your goals, make sure they answer these questions.
For example, don't do this:
I want to lose twenty pounds.
What a stinker. Who farted, right?
Here is a better way:
I weigh 175lbs at 8% bodyfat on July 31st, 2007.
This is better because you are focusing no the end result (175 @ 8%) and not what you don't want (lose 20 lbs). Also, we removed the ugly word "want" from the sentence. If you want it, it is always somewhere else and not here. Don't want it; have it!
Or you could experiment with the wording a bit more.
I am so happy now that I weigh 175 lbs @ 8% bodyfat on July 31st....
or
I succeeded in achieving my goal of weighing 175 etc., etc.
There are endless ways to phrase it. Keep it personal and passionate! Always feel that feeling, and you'll surprise yourself with the results.
I hope this was helpful for you. I am currently listing goals on my website,
The Rule of 5. I have ten goals I am going after for 2007. I just went through this process of changing the wording of my goals. Still doing it, actually. I talk about that a bit on the post for
Goal #1.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes for you. The people here are wonderfully supportive, so you won't be alone for long.
