How to Make a Vision Board

Vision boarding is a powerful practice. It is something you can do anytime you are being called to clarify your dreams.

If you want to re-write your goals around some aspect of your life, creating a vision board can be a powerful tool to move you forward in the direction of your dreams.

It could be health calling your attention. Or maybe it is time to set new goals around your career. Perhaps you want to call in a partner or relationship, or even start a new life out on your own.

The miracle of human consciousness is we can direct our thoughts and actions. If we don't, they happen autonomically. But if we choose, (when we choose), we can decide.

We CAN create the life we want when we take responsibility and participate in the process.

We are POWERFUL.

Our thoughts and words and actions are powerful.

So what is it you want to call into your life?

Where do you want to focus your attention and energy?

Once you have a sense of which aspect of life you are going to hone in on, start collecting images that resonate with your dreams and goals.

What does it look like when everything is in harmony and alignment?

See it in your mind and look for images that line up with what you see.

You can cut out words, or photos from magazines or print or draw your own images. You will need some kind of background: a piece of paper, or some stronger material, like a poster board.  Find whatever you can to build on top of. (It can even be a cereal box.)

I like to have all the cut outs ready and play with placement on the board. I journal while I play with my vision. Sometimes I am missing an image or two, so I give myself enough time to collect all the different pieces, and get clearer and clearer as I go.

The whole process is a bit of a ritual. Writing things down. Closing my eyes. Feeling into my body. Listening to my own inner voice. Paying attention to my breath and following my intuition as I go.

Once you have all your images and words ready, glue or tape them to the background creating a visual representation of your vision.  Place this in a special place in your home where you will see it everyday.

The subconscious works in a way that when you see these images your own thoughts will move you in the direction of your dreams.

It is a powerful practice to get clear about what you want and visually see what it looks like.

Watch your dreams unfold in front of your eyes!
