The Power of Imagination: The Power of Visualization

Charge up your meditation practice with the Power of Imagination!

How is it possible for something that exists only in our imagination to become a reality? It is a remarkable quality of the mind that we first create objects with our imagination and then bring them into our everyday reality. In fact, everything starts in the imagination. Through meditation, we can bring our wish for freedom from suffering and lasting peace and happiness into existence.
