The Power of Visioning


I apologize in advance if this sounds like an endorsement, because it really is. I strongly believe in the visioning process because it bypasses our smaller, limited selves that would have us stay small, mediocre, and afraid.

Visioning is a process made popular recently by Michael Bernard Beckwith, who used the process to create Agape. It was a process he learned and modified from Native American tradition whereby you first ask Spirit its highest and best purpose for you. You get into a meditative state and ask a series of questions. You are asking first for a vision, and this can be for anything from the  direction of your life in general to how to organize your garden. It is an extremely powerful process to get clarity on the direction we need to go in.

My mentor and friend, Dale Bach, has taken this process a step further. She works with individuals and businesses through a 3 step process of visioning, visualization, and VAC.

Visioning is getting the inspiration and vision. Visualization is a process of grounding that vision and seeing how it will play out into your life. The VAC is a process of further grounding the vision by imagining how it will look, sound like, feel like, etc. Dale uses special tools for this to create almost immediate changes. Having experienced the results of this process I would never start a group venture, business, marriage, without it. It is has also been key in my personal life.
