Vision Boards for People without a Vision

Posted by Mary on Jul 14, 2011 in Blog, Vision Board Basics | 12 comments

Want something? Make a vision board!  Need something? Make a vision board!  Wanna fix something in your life? Make a vision board!  Need a change but have no clue what that change should be? [Insert crickets here.]

It’s one thing to have a specific high-income goal, know you want to be in a relationship, or to already feel the liberation of the slinky dress you’ll don when those pesky 40 pounds come off. That vision in progress is “in the box” and ready for focus!  But it’s a whole different ball game for Law of Attraction followers who know that something in their life needs to change but a specific goal eludes them.  As LOAers, we’re taught that we need to focus on images and visualize the manifestation of our goals. If a vision board is the tool to get us there, then a vision board must be useless to the undecided, right?  Wrong.  On the contrary, a vision board can be the very tool you need to get you the clarity you’re looking for.

We first heard about this concept in John Assaraf’s The Vision Board Book.  In the book he describes something called an “opening and allowing” vision board.  Crediting Christine Kane of the Uplevel Academy with the concept, the book describes this type of vision board as being great for those who are unsure of their goals, for those coming out of a period of depression or grief, or for those who have a vision of what they want but there’s some aspect of it that is unclear.

All you need to do is dedicate some time to collecting images that speak to you in some way.  As you find pictures that make you smile or stir you, add them to your Vision in Progress Box. Spend time with your images and relax.  Let the messages of the universe get to you.  Trust the process, and eventually you will get the clarity you need.

True story:  My husband recently found himself stuck in a muddle.  Suddenly thrown into become our family’s home manager and needing to decide what kind of job to look for, he was lost and feeling despondent so late in his career “life.”  He didn’t know what to do.  When he heard about the concept of the Opening and Allowing vision board he took it to heart, and within a week of compiling the items for his Vision in Progress Box he came up with an incredible business idea that is not only unique, but serves his inner purpose of helping heal the world as well.   Now he’s a man with a mission!

Sending vibrations of love, positivity, and abundance,
