In ancient Egypt, when a child was born into royalty, it was common for the family to start working on the child’s pyramid from birth. The pyramids were the tombs where the royal child would rest.
None of this is new.
However, what is interesting is that, in addition to building the pyramids, the interior walls of the pyramid would be covered in art.
Some of this religious and ritualistic but…
What they would also do is paint visions of the child’s future. Images of them being great leaders, winning wars, bringing prosperity to the city!
These were painted on the pyramids from birth…it was their version of a vision board.
So you will see that vision boards are not new at all AND more importantly, if they have been used for so long, there must be something!
Images are the language of the unconscious mind
The reason vision boards have been around for centuries is that it is well known that this is the way to communicate directly with your unconscious mind.
The powerful part of your mind that makes your heart beat and controls things like blinking, memories, and much more.
It’s also the part of you that will make your goals come true…if you can communicate with it the right way.
One of the easiest ways to send messages to your unconscious is to build your own vision board.
They can be pictures you’ve cut out of magazines that represent your goals, or they can be drawings you’ve made. They don’t have to be very artistic.
You are the only person who will see this and since you know what the drawing meant to you, that is more than enough.
I would then put all the images together in a collage on a board or cardboard. You can even make a smaller version in your journal.
It is up to you how you want to design the vision board, by objectives, in a structured way or just a jumble of all the images!
There is no wrong way, just do what works best for you!
Once built, you should place the vision board somewhere you will see it on a daily basis, on top of your computer, in your bedroom. A place you go to regularly where you will see the board every day, if not more than once a day.
Then all you need to do is once or twice a day (or as much as you can) spend some time looking at the images, imagining yourself having achieved the goals and FEELING what it is like to have achieved those goals.
Feeling is what magnetizes visions and turns them into reality, so be sure to focus on how it would feel to achieve the goals.
It’s as simple as that.
In a matter of hours you too can have your own vision board, a powerful tool for communicating with your ancient Egyptian unconscious!
