WHY I AM NOT ABLE TO VISUALISE THINGS?
Some of you definitely come up with this question. When Visualisation is the power of the mind then why can't I be able to visualise things? The answer to the question lies inside you. Your mind is surrounded by the chaos that it is not letting other things enter, be it is the power of visualisation. So much of responsibilities bring lots of daily challenges and unlimited stress. It is become really tough to deal with this. Your mind is completely packed with stress and the pressure to handle the stress. This results that you not getting time to dream, dream positively.
"The problem is you are not controlling the mind indeed
the mind is controlling you."
When you are able to control your mind then believe me 90% of the problems get solved. Being in your control means getting the thoughts you want to visualise. How to make this possible? We are going to tell you the finest method to control your mind and thoughts. It's none other than Meditation.
Like yoga is the complete exercise of the body, in a similar way, Meditation is the complete exercise of the mind. Just like our bodies, our minds need proper care. We often neglect it but this is the main factor controlling the body. Meditation helps in taking care of the mind in the most prominent way. It detaches our minds from negativity and unwanted stress, rather it occupies the brain with positive thoughts and clarity. It simply filters the mind. With Meditation, you can easily fight tension and stress.
Meditation is classified into various types. One among these is Visualisation Meditation.
As discussed earlier, Visualisation Meditation let us create positive pictures in the mind helping us to lead a happy and healthy life. While we are able to visualise thing, the bad habit of thinking negative side first make us suffer. We, human beings, are always open to negative thoughts first and keep aside the positive ones. Let us understand it with an example.
Seeing a tree loaded with many fruits on it; the mind might make two types of visualisation. The first one, oh wow! Its fruits will be very sweet and tasty. This is positive visualisation. Second, fruits are not special to look at, so probably, they will be not good to eat. But in reality, the problem is not in the fruit, it is in our thinking, it is in our negative visualization, which creates the same effect by thinking negatively.
To improve the problem of negative visualisation or to switch
from negative to positive visualisation, "Visualisation Meditation" is practiced.
BUT NOW THE QUESTION OCCURS, HOW TO PRACTICE IT?

WHERE TO PRACTICE VISUALISATION MEDITATION?
Now the last question confusing your mind regularly is how to start practicing Visualisation Meditation. Should I start it on my own? or if I need to join a class so where to join? Calm down, we will help you with your every query. My personal experience and opinion don't allow you to start it on your own. The reason is, that you are already equipped with so many thoughts so it is hardly possible for you to create a positive visualisation. You definitely need a trainer or a teacher to help you with this. So, it is better to join a program or a class to start your meditation and that too visualisation meditation practice.
