Visualizing and Actualizing Love

Visualization is a medically- and scientifically-proven mind exercise in achieving one's goals. Data gathered on Olympic athletes found that those who regularly practice visualization are more likely to bring home medals than their peers. These athletes were linked to instruments that measured muscle contractions and brain waves and found that the same muscles that fired during an actual event were being triggered in an experiment room. The difference (or lack thereof) was in the brain. Scientists postulated that the brain cannot tell the difference between what is physically real and what is not, so when the athletes imagined themselves doing their sport, the body was essentially doing the actions, even if they weren't actually performing.

 There are many implications to this. Scientists began to suggest that visualization can go even further, that is can transcend physical and present circumstance to manifesting future events. An intriguing concept that was made was visualization's ability to actualize love. Would it be possible to manipulate energy and think one's self to love?

Some scientific studies suggest it is possible. Recent studies have suggested that the mental images and energies one constantly emits attract similar circumstances. In the same way that the brain cannot differentiate physical from mental, so too can the world not sense the difference between visualization and the actual. That said, scientists believe that if a person constantly sees the environment in a certain way (e.g. I am loved, I can love, I am receiving love, etc.), then situations will happen to perpetuate it. It is still not conclusively stated whether it is a mental perception that affects the outcome or whether outside forces influence how the person thinks. Regardless, data from these studies suggest that by visualizing being in love, feeling love increases the probability of attracting situations that will make that person continue feeling and sbeing loved.
