This is a simple, natural process that most of us preform every day. An example? Imagine yourself waking up in the morning, looking at the clock, laughing and going back to sleep. That's visualization. Or, in your mind's eye, see yourself suddenly finding a 50-dollar bill in your purse or wallet. That, too, is visualization.
Visualization is the art of creating mental images. Mental dialogue (such as thinking, "Gee wouldn't it be great if I could fall in love with someone who loves me?) isn't visualization. The word visual indicates that pictures, not words, are involved.
Every invention, every article of clothing we're wearing, everything that every human being has ever created, is the product of visualization. An image appeared or was formed in the maker's mind. Using hands and raw materials, the image was translated into physical reality.
In magickal aromatherapy, we form a mental image of our necessary, needed change. Prosperity; love; health; protection. We paint an image with the imagination, creating a mental illustration which uniquely encapsulates the change we wish to make.
Magical aromatherapy manifests the strongest changes when we allow ourselves to accept the new energies. If we visualize and inhale but stubbornly cling to our old ways, we're setting ourselves up for defeat.
If you've long had negative view of love, quench those thoughts before trying a love-attracting ritual. If you're worried about the problems and responsibilities of money, transform them into an eagerness for the challenge. If you've long abused you body, virtually asking to be sick, change your habits and lifestyle before preforming a health or healing ritual.
This is certainly better than cure. Before you're depleted, run-down and sick, preform a simple health ritual rather than waiting to do a healing. Before you're out of money, boost up your prosperity. When you first feel tensions building, use some peaceful aromas to stave off an attack of depression. Watch yourself and your life. Be ruthless in your self-assessment, and use magickal aromatherapy to prevent problems before they occur.
