Analyzing a Theory: Power of Suggestion Through Imagination...
Hi, venerable Steemians!
We talked about the effect of words in one of our previous blog posts and how you can adapt your mind using the power of suggestion. Today, we are going to talk about the power of suggestion through imagination.
When you imagine something vividly in your mind and draw a clear picture of that scene, both your aware consciousness and your subconsciousness are affected and motivated by that image to follow a certain pathological thought train.
In the hands of those who know how to utilize the power of suggestion, imagination is a powerful weapon that can turn the tide in your war against lack of energy and motivation.
The power of suggestion through your imagination works in two different ways.
Consider that you are sitting at your desk performing a hard feat on one of your dream projects. You are getting tired and exhausted from all the work and the repetition that the process has made you go through.
The power of suggestion using words is when you say nice things in a situation like this so you can continue with strength.
You can use the same technique with your imagination.
Close your eyes and draw an ideal picture of your future. It may be a place of your liking, alongside those you love, doing the thing that is your true passion. Try to bring more and more details into that vision. Paint that world with different and tangible colors.
That image in your imagination could be your future. In a world where nothing is ever impossible, you could arrive at that scene and live your ideal life. This is the power of suggestion through your imagination.
That image will motivate you to keep going with strength. But as I mentioned earlier, there are two sides to the power of suggestion through our mind’s capability for imagination.
When you picture the ideal world, that is the dream you want to realize, and that gives you strength to not surrender in spite of all the difficulties that you are facing. But instead of drawing an ideal world, you could also picture yourself in a world of nightmare.
Think about your fears. Try to imagine a picture where all your fears have come through as a result of your shortcomings and your unwillingness to do the things that you need to do.
Imagine that you are broke or have failed the people closest to you.
Imagine that you have not fulfilled even your most fundamental obligations and responsibilities.
Better yet, imagine that all the difficulties that you are currently going through is like being stuck in a storm.
Close your eyes and picture yourself in the middle of the sea. Heavy rain is grazing you at every moment and the storm is rocking your boat in different directions. You are struggling. Every moment, you are struggling to survive.
Being in a difficult situation is basically like being stuck in a storm. When you are in the middle of the sea and stuck in that kind of storm, you do not even consider the idea of surrendering.
You fight. You fight to your last breath for survival.
When you open your eyes again and come out of that imaginary scene, you revitalize your strength and set your mind at the right place to continue performing your task and succeeding in it… because it has never been more serious than it is now!
The power of suggestion through imagination works in both a dream world and a nightmare world. Your personality determines which one will give you strength and help you in the face of your difficulties.
Do not be afraid of turning your imagination into a weapon that can push you forward.
After all, isn’t imagination the greatest aptitude in the history of our species?
A BIG HUG!

Really well written and thought provoking! Thank you.
Dear @chbartist sir!
Odd conditions are awakening the brain with our imagination and suggesting them to grow in positive direction. I agree with your point When we are in the middle of the sea and get trapped in such a storm, then we do not even think of submitting surrender at that time but instead make a path of struggle and imagine every aspect of the mind in the mind. The power of imagination drives us out of the odd circumstances. Acceptance is not the name of life. The name of life is the struggle. We can only do the struggle when our mind is imagined about the objectives and the strong will to fulfill them. Believe in an odd situation, when our imaginative brain gives suggestions on ways to avoid us, that proves to be effective for us.
Thank you
Here's a suggestion @chbartist, stop self promoting your lame "self-help" shit in the Trending category. Now close your eyes, and repeat that message to yourself until it sinks in.
What you are describing is also labeled self hypnosis. I was trained in hypnosis back in the 70's at University of Texas. Quick tip for those who want to try this. Create a phrase in your mind that you will use to go into a deep state of relaxation. Using the Greek alphabet is one way. For example keep repeating to your self “Omega Bravo” over and over as you push out all your day to day stress and distractions. Just focus on becoming completely relaxed as you repeat your personal phrase. Over time, just repeating the phrase to yourself will allow you to rapidly become relaxed. Then focus your imagery on your goal and how to get there. I have used this technique for over 30 years. Test anxiety, performance anxiety, etc, while not reduced to zero, are now manageable and no longer interfere. Good luck everyone.
Excellent advice I will try to put it into practice. I will look for that key phrase that makes me relax.
Great post @chbartist
I
ve always known the power of our mind is even more powerful then we can imagine. Im telling all of my friends how I always think and what I have in my mind.I
m gonna give a small example I always gonna look my self in the mirror and Im gonna like my self, Im gonna make a compliment my self! Ill never look at my self and tell my self-something with negativism or that I dont like my look or my body! I use to be very skinny but I always loved my look! I started working out at the winter of 2015 and more active in the winter of 2016 and you can see my results here ---> https://d.tube/#!/v/calisthenicsdrop/lyrw2wrr Ive never doubted my self I always believe in my self and that I can!And most important I always repeated my self that I look amazing no matter what!
And think the results are obvious!
Let me know what you think about my transformation and the power of your thought.

Biblically speaking, Christians are taught to "Call those things that be not as though they were." (Romans 4:16-22).
As an example, Abraham was about a hundred years old, and stood fast in his faith that God was faithful. He believed his wife, far beyond child-bearing years, would bear him a child. Because he never wavered in his faith that God is faithful to fulfill His Promises, God granted them Isaac.
Sadly, Christians are blurring God's Word with something called "The Secret". God does not keep His Word a secret. It is an open book for all, on how to please Him.
On the other hand, satan likes to perpetrate things in secrecy; because they always make God seem irrelevant. That's what those who promote "The Secret" are guilty of doing. Many have gotten rich promoting this 'name it and claim it' falsehood. It's one thing if God puts a faith seed in your spirit; and, a whole other to say....oooo there's my this...there's my that...smh...rme...
Long story short, I agree that we can focus on the truth that in all things God works life out for His Glory and the good of all who are called (Romans 8:26).
He admonishes that when He gives one a vision, a Promise in the spirit, it should be believed for; the person should believe for it/wait for it, til his last breath if necessary. (Habakkuk 2:3).
Peace.
This is amazing. To be honest I have NEVER read anything from beginning to end. It really spoke to me. This wisdom came to me when I truly needed it. My dream is to create great works of art. Like you've created. But as you can see I have a hard time expressing my words without sounding like I'm just rambling on and on. This was truly inspiring.
SI, ES MUY BUEN TU ARTÍCULO, ESPECIALMENTE EN MOMENTOS TORMENTOSOS. Y ME LLEVA HASTA CUANDO ERA ESTUDIANTE UNIVERSITARIA.
CUANDO TENÍA ENTREGA DE DISEÑO EN LA UNIVERSIDAD, TODOS TRABAJÁBAMOS MUCHO. LO HACÍAMOS BAJO PRESIÓN. SOBRE TODO POR EL TIEMPO.
EN MI ÉPOCA EL TIEMPO ERA CRUCIAL PORQUE DEBÍAMOS TERMINAR TODO EL PROYECTO EN 15 DÍAS Y ERAN 15 DÍAS TRABAJANDO MUY DURO. NO TENÍAMOS TIEMPO NI PARA COMER, NI PARA BAÑARNOS.
Y ALLÍ NUESTRA MENTE VIAJABA Y SE UBICABA EN EL MOMENTO EN QUE FALTABA MUY POCO PARA TERMINAR Y TODO LO QUE ESTABA HACIENDO ERA PERFECTO. ESTABA MUY BIEN...
DEJE DE USAR ESA TÉCNICA , NO ERA UN MÉTODO PERO TE LEO Y ME PARECE MUY INTERESANTE TU SUGERENCIA.
ASI QUE LO EMPEZARE A APLICAR OTRA VEZ, SOLO QUE EN CASOS DIFERENTES.
TE FELICITO. MUY BUENO E INTERESANTE.
UNA VEZ MÁS, GRACIAS POR TU SUGERENCIA.
wonderful post again@chbartist, most of the time we imagine the negative and fearful aspect but u are right when you said this"Do not be afraid of turning your imagination into a weapon that can push you forward."it's really a good motivation
Hi. Many times we use our imagination to get away from reality and think that if everything is not right, it could be. And so we go numb in a wait for something that does not come, because we are not working. But if apart from imagining everything we can have, we imagine ourselves with everything we can fight and imagine ourselves overcoming our fears. We will have many chances to succeed. Thank you for approaching the triumph.
awesome post! Imagination is freedom with no limitations, real pleasure .
