Creative Visualization – A favourite creative visualization exercise for beginners is to manifest a blue feather as in Richard Bach’s book Illusions. Using the basic visualization steps described above, imagine a blue feather.
Then think about it as often as you can for a day or two without obsessing over manifesting it. You will find that you will experience a blue feather in some way in your physical world within a very short period of time. Have fun with the process. Persevere but if you do not see your feather, let it go and come back to it later rather than become frustrated. You will see it!
The more you experiment with creative visualization in this way and succeed in manifesting simple things to which you have no attachment, the more the synapses will fire in your brain, creating a solid belief around the truth that you create your reality. Once you believe it in practice and not just in theory, then you are pretty much home free to create anything you choose with detachment and faith.
Here is a hypnotherapy script for The Blue Feather Visualization Exercise:
Title: “The Blue Feather: A Symbol of Trust and Guidance”
Induction:
(Calm, soothing music starts playing. The hypnotherapist’s voice is gentle and reassuring.)
“Welcome to this hypnotherapy session, where you’ll learn to trust in the guidance of your higher self. Take a deep breath in, and as you exhale, allow your body to relax, letting go of any tension or stress. Feel your muscles relaxing, starting from the crown of your head, down to your toes.
“As you continue to breathe deeply, imagine yourself standing in a peaceful, serene environment. It could be a beach, a forest, or a mountain meadow. Allow yourself to fully immerse in this setting, noticing the sights, sounds, and sensations around you. With each breath, feel your body becoming heavier, more relaxed, and more calm. Your eyelids growing heavier, allowing your eyes to gently close. And as they do, allow yourself to drift into a state of deep relaxation.”
Deepening:
“Imagine yourself sinking deeper into relaxation, like a gentle wave washing over you. With each wave, feel yourself letting go of more and more tension, more and more resistance. Your body is sinking deeper, heavier, and more relaxed.
“Now, imagine a warm, soothing light beginning to fill your entire body. This light represents the guidance and wisdom of your higher self. As it fills you, it dissolves any remaining doubts, fears, or worries. You are becoming more and more relaxed, more and more calm, with each passing moment.”
Visualization:
“Imagine a beautiful, delicate blue feather floating in front of you. This feather represents the guidance and wisdom of your higher self. Notice its gentle, soothing movement, as if it’s being carried by a soft breeze.
“As you focus on the feather, imagine it speaking to you in a gentle, loving voice. It says, ‘Trust in me, trust in yourself. I am here to guide you, to support you, and to lead you towards your highest good.’
“Notice how the feather begins to glow with a soft, blue light. This light represents the wisdom and guidance of your higher self. As you breathe in, imagine this light filling your entire body, filling you with trust, faith, and confidence.
“Now, imagine yourself holding the feather in your hand. Feel its gentle weight, its softness, and its warmth. As you hold it, imagine yourself being filled with a sense of peace, trust, and guidance. Know that you can always access this feeling, this wisdom, and this guidance whenever you need it.”
Suggestions:
“As you continue to hold the feather, I want you to repeat the following phrases to yourself, allowing the words to sink deep into your subconscious mind:
* ‘I trust in the guidance of my higher self.’
* ‘I have faith in my ability to make good decisions.’
* ‘I am supported and guided towards my highest good.’
* ‘I am worthy of trust, love, and respect.’
“As you repeat these phrases, imagine the blue feather glowing brighter, filling you with an even deeper sense of trust and guidance. Know that you can always rely on your higher self to guide you, support you, and lead you towards your highest good.”
Counting and Awakening:
“As you continue to hold the feather, I’ll count from 1 to 5. When I reach 5, you’ll slowly open your eyes, feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the day with a newfound sense of trust and faith.
1… Your body is relaxed, your mind is calm, and your heart is full of trust.
2… You are holding the blue feather, feeling its gentle weight and softness.
3… You are filled with a sense of peace, trust, and guidance.
4… You have faith in your ability to make good decisions, and trust in your higher self.
5… You are awake, refreshed, and ready to take on the day with a newfound sense of trust, faith, and guidance.”
( MUSIC FADES OUT )
Remember to trust in the guidance of your higher self, and know that you can always access this feeling of trust and peace whenever you need it. The blue feather will always be with you, guiding and supporting you on your journey.
