Know Your Power - Visualization and Affirmation Exercises
Know Your Power - Visualization and Affirmation Exercises
3. If you like, use special pens, your magic pen to make your dreams come true.
Use colored pens, pencils, and crayons as well as watercolors and brushes to draw with or create treasure
maps.
4. Collect magazines to make collages for treasure maps. Dont over-think. Cut words and photos that get to you!
5. Dont take yourself too seriously! If it doesnt become fun and engaging anymore, set it aside.
6. Sometimes, when youve set your workbook aside and you return to it (in a few months, in a few years), youd be
surprised to find out that some of these dreams have manifested into reality.
YOUR PERCEPTION
BECOMES YOUR REALITY.
THE MOST BASIC CREATIVE VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE IN FOUR STEPS:
1. Make an AFFIRMATION out of it State it in a simple sentence. Use the present tense, as if it were
already true.
Ex. I am a healthy person.
1. Picture your goal as if it were already true Close your eyes and imagine (or pretend) what things
would be like if it were true.
2. Consciously turn your goal over to your higher self, or to the higher power of God or the Universe,
and let go of it.
Dont try to make it happen.
Relax and let the higher force go to work within you to create it.
Go on with your daily life with one exception: Follow your intuition and your impulses.
Follow the signs and signals.
Be open to change and growth.
SOME FAVORITE CREATIVE VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES
1. Sit or lie down comfortably, close your eyes, and deep breathly, slowly and naturally until you feel more relaxed.
You can breathe in through your nose, breathe out through your nose.
2. Imagine what you would like to manifest as if it has already happened. Picture it, or feel it, or sense it.
3. In your minds eye, surround your fantasy with a pink bubble.
4. Put your goal inside your bubble. Pink is the color associated with your heart. If this color vibration surrounds
whatever you visualize, it will bring to you only that which is in perfect alignment with your being.
5. Let go of the bubble, and let it float into the universe, still containing your vision. This symbolizes your letting
go emotionally of it, turning it over to the higher power or God or the Universe to bring it to you.
Do it every morning when you wake up and every evening before you go to sleep.

EXAMPLE:
NOTE: Sometimes, when you hide your IDEAL SCENE, or if you dont look at it for a while, when you read it (in the
future), you may have manifested it somehow --- without you consciously putting energy into it at all!
SOME FAVORITE CREATIVE VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUES
IT WILL SHOW YOU IN YOUR IDEAL SCENE --- WITH YOUR GOAL FULLY REALIZED.
GUIDELINES:
1. Create a treasure map for a SINGLE GOAL or area of your life so that you can include all the elements and
keeping it simple. Examples: A treasure map for your relationships, a treasure map for your job, etc.
2. Make your treasure map in any size that works for you.
Examples:
You might want to hang it up on your wall.
You might want to carry it in your purse, folded up like an accordion.
4. Show the situation in its ideal, completed form, as if it already exists. You do not indicate how it is going to
come about. This is THE FINISHED PRODUCT.
5. Use lots of color in your treasure map to increase its power and impact on your consciousness.
7. Include some symbol of the infinite (or spiritual) that has meaning and power for you. This could be a cross, a
Buddha, a sun radiating light, or anything that represents universal intelligence or God.
This is an acknowledgment and a reminder that everything comes from the infinite source.
9. Include the cosmic affirmation: This or something better now manifests for me in totally satisfying and
harmonious ways, for the highest good of all concerned.
Thats it! The treasure map is a powerful step toward achieving your goal!
ITS TIME TO PRACTICE!
1. PICK A GOAL.
For the first one, choose something that is important to you, something more or less realistic and believable, and
that you feel positive about.
My goal is __________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________.
2. STATE YOUR GOAL AS AN AFFIRMATION by writing it as a sentence in the present tense, as if it were already true.
MY AFFIRMATION:
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________.
Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and relax your mind and body.
Say your affirmation to yourself a few times and imagine that it is now true.
See how it feels to have your desire come true.
Imagine putting it into a pink bubble, tossing the bubble into the air, and letting go of it.
Consciously affirm: I am turning this over to the higher intelligenceof the universe within me, to guide me in
creating it.
Repeat this cosmic affirmation: This or something better is now manifesting for me in totally satisfying and
harmonious ways, for the highest good of all concerned.
WRITE YOUR AFFIRMATION 10-20 TIMES in the first person, second person, and third person (example: 10 times in
the first voice). Use additional blank pages if needed.
CLEARING MY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS: As you write your affirmation (10 to 20 times), and a negative thought pops up (ex.
Im not physically fit for this or Im not good enough!), turn the page around and write the negative thought.
SHAKTI GAWAINS LIST OF AFFIRMATIONS:
1. Short-term goals: Be realistic. Create a short step first. Build your confidence.
2. Long-term goals: Be expansive and idealistic. Let your imagination open up and reach for the highest. This will
inspire you.
3. Put your main focus on the ESSENCE of the goal: Dont worry about the details because they might change.
4. Dont be compulsive with your goals. Dont try to MAKE them happen. Hold them lightly, relax, and LET them
happen at their own pace and in their own way. Turn them over to your higher self to create them, and LET GO.
5. Be flexible: Many of your goals might change frequently but the essence in the most important ones remain the
same, and helps guide you closer to your highest purposes.
GOALS PROCESS: Practice this at least once.
Under each category, write a list of three to ten goals that the most important things you would like to accomplish or
create by that time. Write each goal in the form of an affirmation --- that is, write it in a sentence, in the PRESENT
tense, as if it had ALREADY come true.
Instead of saying I WANT TO live in a bigger, more beautiful house, you can word it as I AM NOW living in a big,
beautiful house that I love.
Prepare a sheet of paper (or page of a notebook) for each of the categories below.
CATEGORIES:
Our creative power filters through our beliefs, attitudes, emotions, and habits. The more negative and constricted our
beliefs and patterns are, the more they block, slow, and distort the creative energy.
LET GO OF FALSE, CONSTRICTING BELIEFS AND PATTERNS AND REPLACE THEM WITH POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE ONES.
Example:
GOAL I now have a wonderful job as a ________ nurse that I love at the ____________ Hospital and that pays me
$_____________ a month or more.
3. Sit for a while and look at your list. Decide which of the negative statements have the most power over you, and make
a mark by those.
Write an affirmation to counteract each one.
Focus on the affirmations that feel most powerful to you, and meditate on them every day for a while, along with your
original goal/affirmation.
CLEARING AFFIRMATION: My higher self is guiding me to my perfect job. I deserve to be successful and make money.
MY GOAL:
Write down the names of everyone in your life whom you feel has ever mistreated you, harmed you, done you an
injustice, or toward whom you feel or have felt resentment, hurt, or anger.
Next to each persons name, write down what they did to you, or what you resent them for.
Then, explain to them that now you are going to do your best to forgive them for everything, and to dissolve and
release all constricted energy between you.
Give them a blessing and say, I forgive you and release you. Go your own way and be happy.
When you have finished this process, write across the paper (maybe in a different-colored ink): I now forgive you and
release you all.
THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE WHO HAVE HURT ME ARE: (Write their names and what they have done to you. Then
complete the exercise.)
When you finish this exercise, you can tear this page out and throw it away as a symbol of letting go, or just write
FORGIVEN AND RELEASED in big letters across the page.
VISUALIZATION: THE BRIDGE
Write down everyone you can think of in your life whom your feel you have hurt or done an injustice to,
and write down what you did to them.
When you have finished: Write at the bottom of your paper (or across the sheet of paper in a different-
colored ink), I forgive myself and absolve myself of all guilt, here and now, and forever!
THE PEOPLE IN MY LIE WHOM I HAVE HURT ARE: (Write their names and what you feel you did, then complete the exercise.)
When you finish this exercise, you can tear this page out and throw it away as a symbol of letting go, or just write FORGIVEN
AND RELEASED in big letters across the page.

CREATIVE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS
This is a special are for you to jot down any creative ideas, fantasies, or thoughts that come to you at any time.
These do not need to be complete thoughts and they dont need to make much sense.
This is just a way to record and take a look at little flashes and inspirations that may come from your intuitive
mind.
Dont take the process to seriously, and dont worry if you like you have nothing to write on this page.
EXAMPLE:
10.01.2017 When I reading my Facebook wall today, I viewed a video about successful women entrepreneurs. I
saw myself having a travel agency and travelling with my clients to many exotic destinations on a minimal budget.
11.5.2017 I think Ill start learning how to ride a bike. My parents never encouraged me. No one can stop me now
except myself!
12.15.2017 In my meditation, I saw myself not smoking anymore. This is a good thing! This must be a sign that I
am ready to stop smoking and transform this negative energy into creative works of art, maybe singing lessons. Lets
find out!

RECORDING YOUR DREAMS
Since our dreams are a powerful key to our intuitive mind, it can be fun and meaningful!
Keep a pen and notebook on your nightstand.
Date each page of your notebook.
On todays date, at the bottom of the page, write down what feelings you had during the day. Example:
I was stressed at work today. I am very sad. My patient, John Smith, died. I was happy my son got a
notice that he was accepted at Harvard University.
Before you go to sleep at night, say to yourself, I will wake up and remember clearly at least one
dream.
Just before you actually fall asleep (in the alpha state), if you have a problem and you are looking for a
solution, you can ask a question. Example: I am looking for the right tagline for my event. Help me find
it, please!
Then, if you wake up during the night, or in the morning, immediately check to see if you can
remember any dream or fragment of a dream.
Write it down immediately just below the date, and often more details and understanding will come as
you do so.
Write down what you think the dream may mean, what your intuitive mind may be trying to
communicate to you.
