The Impact of Visualization

Bo Bennett said, “Visualization is daydreaming with a purpose.”

If you were to hold a vivid, fearful picture in your imagination, your body would respond through the autonomic nervous system, with a feeling of uneasiness, upset stomach, elevated pulse and blood pressure, sweating and dryness of the mouth.

However, if you were to hold a pleasant, relaxing image in your mind, your body would respond with a lowered heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and relaxed muscles.

Remember, what the mind pictures and harbors, the body manifests.
