Is visualisation needed for something quite specific?

[seirwyn]

The most effective technique I have used so far is the 'set it and forget it' method. I tried thinking about stuff a lot at first but this just made me doubt and put out loads of negative energy so I discovered by a bit of trial and error what works best for me.
However, so far Ive used it for quite unspecific things but there are a few specific things that I want which I have used exactly the same technique for but they seem to be less forthcoming. I was wondering whether you need to put in a bit more affirmative energy by visualising the thing you want and doing it daily.Generally I dont do daily visualisation and I still get what I ask for but sometimes they are approximations. Most of the time this is OK though)
I have heard that vision boards are very effective. Im wondering if you can just be very clear with your initial intention and the forget about it or if you need to keep feeding it because maybe specific things need more creative energy. Or is this just another scarcity mindset that they are harder to get than simple things?
I think that everyone finds techniques that suit them so there may not be one answer but any feedback is always useful

I totally agree - that works for me, too. I usually find that the more I visualize something, the less likely I am to receive it.

I agree with StacyT too,
It seems the more I tend to think about something, I end up putting the kabosch on it manifesting. Yet when I just happen to momentarily think of something a few days later there it is... Intriguing to say the least.

It depends on what you are FEELING when you are visualising ... if you are visualising and yet you are feeling a NEED, you MUST have it, you have a clingy attachment to it, then it will never manifest.

Thats why its probably best to think of it that you are looking at manifesting something from INSIDE of yourself out, externalising something instead of looking to pull something into you. If you don't KNOW its yours, then you are intending the opposite.

Holding an image or a "sequence" in your mind for a "set" amount of time with NO feelings or with NEGATIVE feelings aren't the way forward.

Yes I can relate! I enjoy my visualisations much more now!

Is it liie this for specific things too? Do they come just as easl=ily if you are clear about hat you want when you set the intention and then just leave them alone?

From my experience in IM and studying different teachings I find that meditation/visualization done properly is the most effective way to manipulate energy. Coupled with being in a positive and faithful state between meditations and not thinking too much on your desires, like you said "set it and forget it".
The "setting it" seems to be more powerful from the meditative state than in ordinary consciousness. There is much written about the "alpha state" your mind goes into during meditation and it's relationship too manifesting.

With that said, we obviously are always manifesting and simply setting an intention does give it creative power. One problem with that is if you spend 5 minutes setting an intention from normal consciousness it's possible to negate that intention later on with 5 minutes of negative dwelling (I don't know if that's EXACTLY true but y'know..)

Really though the most important thing is to use a method that you have the most faith and belief in. That positive, faithful, excited about your goal type energy is really the most important thing.

Thanks thats good advice.
Sometimes Ive had the fleeting tgought of 'how on earth is this going to happen?' after Ive set an intention but I dopnt dwell on it, I just respod with 'oh well, Ill give it a chance and wait and see.' And then I get it-sometimes quickly and some things (simple and basic ) Im still waiting for.

If the intention is so powerful in itdelf, and obviously in some cases all that is needed, then if you visualise every day does this send out the same energy as the intention? Will this speed up the results?

I lean towards saying the energy you are sending out from the alpha state is much more powerful. Seth/Jane Roberts called it "concentrated thought". The people who are really good at this stuff, or at least have fame, fortunes and incredible knowledge/speaking abilities and beautiful energy about them, really stress the importance of connecting with God and releasing that intention in that space. They do it in a subtle way as to not be too rigid but from modern spiritual teachers to ancient monks meditation is the core of spiritual practice.

Try some experimenting with different methods anyway.

If something isn't working/manifesting I find I can usually find the opposing thoughts/feelings that are in the way. Sometimes they are SUPER obvious but at one point I might not be able to see them yet.
