  Mind to Matter: The Ultimate Guide to Success Visualization, Learn Astonishing Ways to Train Your Mind and Visualize Your Way to Success We all have aspirations and dreams. But when we think of a dream or a goal we want to achieve, most of us oftentimes focus on the possible obstacles that will come our way. We focus on the negative instead of visualizing ourselves as successful. This becomes a problem as it inhibits our minds and stops us from moving forward. It stops us from trying our very best and being all out in achieving our dreams. Don't let this be you. Instead of focusing on all the obstacles you might encounter, you should visualize yourself victorious and successful in the end. You might know someone in your personal life who seems to have everything. This person might have the best job or always attracts the best opportunities. Oftentimes, this might be someone that is not usually the most intelligent or hardworking person you've ever known. The secret is that this person has probably mastered the art of manifestation and attraction and has visualized all of the success in his life. Our mind has the power to create and manifest whatever it is we want out of life. It might be material possessions like a dream car or a dream house, or it might be a perfect partner. Our subconscious mind can produce vibrations that are being sent out to the universe that can produce the outcome we desire. In this audiobook, you will learn: - What is Creative Visualization - How to Visualize - Techniques for Clearing Your Energy - Creative Visualization and Meditation - Mastering the Creative Visualization Process Some people might express skepticism in this practice. However, this has been a common practice of athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs who have been using visualizations as a way to achieve their goals.
