Goal-Setting GuideBy Aine Belton
There are 3 partsto this Goal-Setting Guide.
Parts 1and 2are designed to assist you in identifying and
creatinggoals aligned to your passions, dreams, hearts desires
and souls purpose.
The exercises facilitate you in accessing your deeper preferences,
expanding your vision of the possible and engaging yourimagination to create compelling optimum goals.
Note: If you are already clear about the goal/s you have in mind
and do not wish to explore creating goals further at this time feel
free to skip parts 1 and 2 and move straight to Part 3.
Part 3looks at creating a Vision Templatefor a specific goal you
have in mind (or a combined one for several goals), which can beused in manifesting visualizations (part of your daily manifesting
routine).
If you are new to goal-setting, or are unsure about what you really
want in different areas of your life, explore parts 1 and 2. Even if
you do think you are clear about what you want you may still
benefit from the exercises and may discover new wonderful goals
and dreams and desires forgotten or unacknowledged arisingthrough them.

Part 1What Do You Want?
This section is designed to help you identify true goals, i.e. those
aligned with your gifts, talents and potential, with your passions,highest dreams and hearts deepest wishes and desires.
The exercises here can be helpful in identifying goals that really
reflect more of who you are, your gifts talents and potential, and
what you have come to share with the world and experience in
this life-time.
Sometimes what we thinkwe want can be a product of societysconsensus, our ego, what someone else may want for us, what
our parents wanted for us, we think will be good for us but may
not be, what will gain the recognition and approval of others but
may not be our highest path, etc.
Before putting your energy towards manifesting something in
your life, it is important to be clear that it is what you want.
Setting goals and writing them down is a magical process. As the
saying goes, Dont just think it, ink it!
Doing so solidifies your intent and connects you to those bright
futures by starting to anchor them in, and is a manifesting
technique in itself.
Ive been surprised on many occasion how by just having written a
goal down, even if I have then forgotten about it and done little
towards it, it still manifests in my life at the time dated too,
sometimes without any further conscious attention from me
towards it.

Part 1 Exercises
Exercise 1: Revving the Goal Engine
The below exercise is designed to ignite your passions, engage
your heart and get your imagination flowing towards identifying
optimum goals.
a) Spend 20 minutes writing down all the things that you love or
would love to do, be and have in all areas of your life. Everything
and anything that brings you happiness and gets your heart
singing with joy!
This exercise can reveal new goals and possibilities yet identified,
passions, skills and desires unacknowledged, or dreams forgotten
or ignored that you might re-awaken.
Dont hold back or try to analyse whatcomes to you during this
process, simply allow the unencumbered free-flow expression of
your passions, joys, dreams and desires.
Be expansive, let loose and dare to think big! Let your imagination
run wild like a child.
Explore your wants and desires without limitation. Dont worry
about how youre going to get thereor make it happen in any
way, as this will only inhibit your imaginings. The universe has a
magical way of taking care of the 'hows. Its your job to decide onwhat you REALLY want and whywhat you desire deep down in
your heart and soul, and ignite your passion, focus, and energy
through that.

Write down all that your heart really wants to do, be and have for
a 20 minute period. You may pause at points and thats fine, just
allow the flow when it gets going.
b) After completing the above exercise, read through what you
have written down and pick out those passions, joys,
activities, and desires that are most compelling to you at this
time, compiling these into a more organised list to create goals
from.
This condenses your brain-storming session into a more
assessable list and gives some substance to start formulating
goals.
This is explored in Part 2 Creating Goals.
So, as an example, if one of your passions is singing, you could
decide on one or a number of goals that feel relevant and
appealing around this.
You may set a goal to sing regularly at home, to learn or write
songs, to sing in a band or find someone to partner with musically,
to take singing lessons, to record a song in a studio, to create a
demo album, to get signed as an artist, to sing at open-mic nights,
to write a song for a loved one, etc. Your goal would depend on
your hearts desire and what resonated and felt appropriate for
where you are in relation to your passion at this time.
Exercise 2: Your Ideal Life
Another way to access your wants and desires is to imagine
what your ideal life would look like.

If you knew you could not fail, that you could be, do and have
anything, what is it your heart would really want?
If time, money and freedom were no object, what would you
most desire to be, do and create?
What kind of relationship, home, career, social life?
What places to go, adventures to have, fun to enjoy, service to
give, projects to explore, successes to achieve, skills to learn,
talents to share?
What quality of life, depths of relationships, home to live in,
places to travel to, etc?
Further, what emotional and mental qualities do you wish to
develop or strengthen (in addition to your physical health and
well-being), such as greater peace, joy, fun, creativity, adventure,
love, confidence, leadership, happiness, freedom, humility,humour, etc.
Look at the categories below and describe what your ideal life
would look like in each area. Be as descriptive as you can,
including emotional, mental and physical characteristics.
The previous exercises will have already got your desires engaged
and juices flowing and revealed insights that will be relevant andhelpful in this next exercise too.
This exercise is broken into life areas to help with greater clarity
and being more specific.

Describe your Ideal Life:
1. Loving Relationship- What are the qualities, strengths, gifts
and values of the relationship you desire (love, intimacy, fun,
trust, adventure, commitment, union, companionship, freedom,
etc.)?
What would your ideal relationship feel and look like to you?
What kind of emotional, mental and physical experiences would
you like to share with your ideal partner?
What qualities do you seek in your ideal partner?
How would you like to spend time with them, and what do you
look to share, create and enjoy with your partner?
If you already have a partner, what enhancements would you like
in the relationship (acknowledging that all change ultimately
starts within)?
What new goals do you have for your relationship to build,
strengthen, deepen or enliven it? How would you love things to
be? What would you like to be different? What resolutions do you
seek, or areas do you desire to heal and improve?
In this area of relationships you may also like to look at key
relationships with other loved ones in your life, from family
members to close friends (though friends also get addressed inthe next section Social Life).
Note: when it comes to relationship goals, I never recommend
setting a goal about being with a specific person if you are not
already in a relationship with that person.

When it comes to attracting someone into your life, I believe it is
the qualities that you need to focus on (as well as self-love and
developing those within yourself), not the actual person.
Visualizing a relationship with a specific person can get in the way
of what may be for your highest, invades their energetic space,
and is an attempt to control things against divine will. Work with
yourself and the energies and qualities of a true love relationship
you desire, be open and trust.
If it is not in your or anothers highest to be together trying to
make it happen through visualization simply wont work.
Trust in the universe and your Higher Self to manifest someone
appropriate for you as you send out your intentions.
Expectations and needs placed on someone will only repel rather
than attract too. The universe knows whats most appropriate for
you and will bring the person that is best suited to meet yourdesires and for you to love, learn and grow with. This may or may
not be who you currently think it shouldbe or think you would
like it to be (which might just be infatuation rather than
something deeper).
Have humility and flexibility, set your intention to attract a loving
relationship best suited to you, and affirm the qualities you seek
in the relationship/person, rather than an actual person.
2. Social LifeImagine a totally fulfilling social life.
What would this look like for you? What kind of life-style? What
kind of friends, associates, groups, teams and colleagues would

you like to have and experience? What would be the nature and
qualities of these? What types of social activities would you love
to engage in?
3. Health- What are your health goals?
Describe the physical health, fitness and weight you desire. What
kind of diet do you aspire to? What kind of exercise routines,
sports or activities would you like to incorporate into your life and
to what degrees, etc?
4. Career - What would your dream career be?
In what way would you like to experience that? How many hours
would you like to work a week, where, with whom, and doing
what?
What would your dream career look like and what would be its
qualities? What gifts would you be utilising? What skills would you
like to develop and strengthen? How would you like it to expressand reflect more of who you are, to help you reach and grow and
share your gifts and talents with others?
5. Finances-What are your financial goals?
How much would you like to be earning monthly/yearly? You may
want to create staggered goals here for where you want to be
financially in 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 3 yearstime, for example.
What would it feel like to achieve financial freedom and monetary
abundance, to be able to spend and give freely, to fulfil your
preferences, to express your vision and creativity without

limitation, to create new and innovative projects and adventures,
to travel and have fun and live the life-style you desire?
What stepping-stone goals would support your financial goals and
take you towards them?
6. Mental, emotional and spiritualWhat do you aspire to
emotionally, mentally and spiritually?
What kind of qualities would you like develop, strengthen,
acknowledge or reveal? Might it be greater self-love, confidence,
peace, focus, creativity, commitment, expression, authenticity,
etc.?
What kind of spiritual connection would you like to experience
and how would this affect your life? How might you support this
in your life now in terms of creating the space for that, a spiritual
practice, meditation, yoga, etc?
Do you wish for greater awareness of the love that is there for
you in every moment, a deeper sense of your inherent self-worth,greater contentment or joy, for example?
Do you wish to be more compassionate, patient, willing, humble,
or inspired?
What would your life look like if you lived in alignment with the
love and wisdom of your Higher Selfthe immeasurably loving
eternal spiritual being that you are, and you received the infinite
unconditional love the Universe has for you, and all their supportin manifesting the life you desire and deserve (which is always
yours to receivethe universe always says yes!)
7. Recreation- In your ideal life, what types of recreational
pleasures and adventures might you enjoy?
-
7/22/2019 Goal Setting Guide
10/26
Aine Belton, www.aine.tv All Rights Reserved 10

These could be anything from travel, creativity, sports, fun
activities, clubs, art, social events, spiritual practises, dance,
exercise, scuba diving, hiking, painting, eating out, etc. What
recreational pursuits are you passionate about that you would
love to enjoy and explore more of?
You can now use your ideal life descriptions above towards
creating goals in Part 2coming up.
Exercise 3:What do you want instead of?Present -
Desiredtechnique.
Another way to help you get clear on what you desire, and visions
for a bright, love, success and joy filled life, is to look at aspects of
your life that you are not happy with or are not working for you,
and to ask yourself the question What would I like instead?
Obviously you may want to question what beliefs or stories are
creating things as they are if they are not positive, and look torelease and change those (and there is the Belief Clearing section
of this course to help with that, for example).
For this exercise, draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper
and at the top of the left hand column write Present and on the
right hand side right Desired.
In the left hand column write down the situation of any problemarea in your life that you are not content with (these can be in any
area, from relationships to career) and in the right hand column
detail how you would like your life to be in relation to that
situation instead.

From your Desired list (right-hand column) you can create goals
as described next in Part 2.
Part 2 - Creating Goals
Goals are an effective way to communicate your hearts desires in
the form of clear specific requests to the universe. They
consolidate your intentions and ground your visions and passions.
Goals add clarity, structure and specificity to your wants, which
creates focus and assists manifestation.
In the above exercises you have identified many desires, existing
and new ones. You can turn those identified desires into goals by
listing them out as outcomes you want to attain.
These can be done in present or future tense, or simply listed, as
in the below 3 examples:
It is June 20XX and my weekly income is [ENTER AMOUNT]
I will be earning [ENTER AMOUNT] a week by June 20XX
Earning [ENTER AMOUNT] per week by June 20XX
Many people recommend the first optionpresent tense. Below
are examples around creating present tense goal statementsout
of a desired outcome you have.

Goal Statements
Pick a goal, such as one you identified in the exercises in Part 1.State your goal in the present tense as if it is already
accomplished.
Have this goal statement describe the outcome of your goal
clearly and in a way that feels right to you.
A relationship goal statement might be:
"It is March 12 20XX [date your goal only if it feels right for you]
and I am lying in the arms of my true love partner on the beach
during our honeymoon, feeling the incredible love, beauty and
magic of our deep connection.
Or a monetary goal statement might be
It is March 20XX and I am celebrating achieving my 250K incomewith close friends at my favourite restaurant.
If you do not want to date your goal, you can simply state it in the
present tense without a date specified, for example:
I am being interviewed on _____(radio talk show) about my
best-selling book ______ (name of book)
S.M.A.R.T. Goals
SM.A.R.T. goals can be a guide in creating goals.

Please note: If you find the S.M.A.R.T. goals process unappealing,
too intricate or time-consuming, dont follow it if it doesnt appeal
to you. It is offered for additional insight and inspiration and may
help with certain goals, but only if you resonate with the process.
Goal-setting can be very simple and if you just want to list your
goals as outcomes you desire, that is fine. (I also share about
writing Goal Statements in this section).
The universe is infinitely intelligent and knows your hearts
deepest wishes, however you end up writing them down as goals.
Goals help you focus and get clear on those desires, formulating
them into specific outcomes so the universe can get working on
your behalf to assist you in manifesting your dreams.
Write down your goals in any way that feels true to you, and only
take from below what appeals to you personally as part of that
process.
S.M.A.R.T. goals as shared below can be a handy guideline forgoal-setting (I have adapted these from Paul J. Meyes Attitude is
Everything).
This is as a general guide-line only, and you may find the criteria
you choose for goal-setting differs depending on your goal.
For example, some goals may feel very comfortable with an
outcome date, yet others you may prefer to not specify a dateand simply intend/affirm for its arrival at the most optimum time
in your reality, allowing for universal flow and divine-timing to
allow what is in the highest to occur.

If you are committed, believe, visualise, desire, imagine and take
action, i.e. do your bit, your goal will manifest in good time.
Being too rigid about a time or trying to control goals in a tight
sense with timing doesnt always serve you or the manifestation
of that goal, so be open, fluid and flexible also.
Your goals are there to solidify your intentions and desires, not to
control or dictate your life in a way it interferes with the divine co-
creative process and what is in your highest interest, which you
may not be consciously aware of and have blind-spots too. The
universe may have even bigger plans for you or goals beyond your
imagination and expectation that may be more serving to your,
your life and souls path. I talk about this more in the Co-Creation
and Mystical Manifesting sections of this course.
Ensure being highly specific about what you want doesntveer
into perfectionism or judgment and disappointment about what
shows up and when if it doesnt match your expectations, or
discounting opportunities that do not fall into the fixed vision you
have of how you think things should be or current goals. Alwaysbe open to a bigger picture and higher flow.
Sometimes what you get isntalways what you thought you
wanted, but in retrospect can end up being either just what you
actually needed, or far better than your initial desire, and that
goes for challenges too, all of which may help you learn, heal and
evolve most swiftly and powerfully.
Have humility about what presents itself in your reality and the
gifts and opportunities that may be there with what is. Allow for
the universal co-creative process in conjunction with your goal-
setting, i.e. have humility with regards to the turning of events,

doing your bit by setting your conscious wishes and intentions in
the form of goals that reflect your hearts desires.
After the S.M.A.R.T. goals section just below there are a few goal-
setting exercises also in Part 2 of this guide to explore.
S.M.A.R.T. goals are:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant (/Realistic)
Tangible (/or Timed if desired)
Specific
A specific goal aids clarity and focus. It seeks to answer the 6 W
questions of Who? (Who is involved?), What? (What do I want to
accomplish?), Where? (Identify a location if relevant), When?
(Establish a time frame), Which? (Identify requirements and
constraints), and Why? (Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of
accomplishing the goal).
Your goal does not need to answer all of these questions in and of
itself, but addressing them can help you set more specific goals.
For example, a general goal might be to eat well, where a more
specific goal would be To eat 5 potions of fruits and vegetables a
day, plus no sugar, coffee orjunk food.
Measurable
If a goal is measurable it can help you assess your progress and
stay on track. To help creating a measurable goal you can ask
-
7/22/2019 Goal Setting Guide
16/26
Aine Belton, www.aine.tv All Rights Reserved 16
16
questions such as How much?, How many?,and How will I
know when it is accomplished?
Attainable
You can attain almost any goal that you truly desire and is in your
highest when you believe, expect, imagine, are passionate and
committed and take necessary action.
I am all for dreaming big! You do want to ask yourself if your goal
is realistically attainable, however.
Some goals, like I will never eat desserts, for example, may notbe realistically attainable - possible, yes, but unrealistic. Creating
such a goal can be setting yourself up for failure if you ever have a
dessert again. A more realistic and attainable goal would be, I
have desserts twice a week(or month, or whatever time
frame/quantity feels appropriate to you and your desire).
Only you can decide whether it is realistically attainable. Bear in
mind that miracles happen and the universe can orchestrate all
manner of synchronicities and serendipities for the realization of
your dreams when you apply the principles of co-creation so, as
said, do dream big.
An attainable goal should present an objective toward which you
are willingand ableto work. It is worth setting high goals as these
propel you forward and ignite passion, drive and motivation,especially if these goals are aligned to your hearts desires. Even if
you dont achieve them you may go a long way towards doing so
and achieve all manner of other wonderful manifestations on
route.

If its too big thatits overwhelming or off-putting, you can chunk
it down to smaller more attainable goals - mouthfuls if you like.
The key to whether a goal is attainable, or realistic, is if you truly
believe it is achievable. If you dont, either work with your beliefs
and expectations until you do, or assess your goal in honesty with
yourself regarding whether you think it is attainable for you.
You may set a goal for winning an Oscar. Now this may be
achievable as it has been for many, but if you havent had acting
classes, dont have an agent or any experience, it is highly
unlikely, obviously. With that in mind, start with smaller
attainable goals for wherever youre at that will take you to your
destination, perhaps in stages, for example.
Relevant
Is your goal meaningful and significant to you? Does it correspond
to your dreams and hearts desires? Asking why you want a goal
can help you ascertain what your underlying intention is, whatyou want your goal to bring you, and hence how relevant and
aligned it truly is to you. We can set goals that reflect or conform
to the desires and expectations of our family, society or our ego. It
is important to uncover if your goal is really relevant and true to
you by asking why you want it.
Tangible
A tangible goal is one you can experience with your five physical
senses. If your goal is tangible it is more likely to be specific and
measurable.
-
7/22/2019 Goal Setting Guide
18/26
Aine Belton, www.aine.tv All Rights Reserved 18
18
I still think it is highly valuable and important to hold intangible
goals; I would refer to these are more visions and dreams than
goals.
An intangible goal might be Deeper connection with my Higher
Self, whereas a tangible goal that helps towards this intangible
goal might be Meditate once a day for 20 minutes. Specific goals
help you move to creating the end states and results of your
intangible goals.
Some people replace Tangible with Timed in the S.M.A.R.T. goals
process. Time-based goals can make them more specific.
Examples include I will exercise for 20 minutes every morning, or
I will spend 30 minutes a day practicing my guitar.
Dating Goals
Some people like to attach a specific time to the achievement of
their goals. I personally feel it depends on the goal.
Dating a goal can be powerful, but may not always be
appropriate, so go with what feels right to you regarding a
particular goal. When it comes to very tangible, measurable goals,
dating them can be easy, such as I will create an extra $20,000 by
January 15th
, 20__, same as for smaller mile-stone goals and
regular ones on your to-do list.
You may feel different about a relationship goal. Setting a date formarriage would obviously be inappropriate if you are at the
beginning of a new relationship, for example.
-

19
Some people also feel added pressure when they date their
goals and feel restricted by having set dates on certain goals. For
others a specific date to attain it by works as fuel and motivation.
Use your intuition as to what feels appropriate for a given goal
regarding whether you date it (i.e. place a specific day you will
have attained that goal by), and preference about whether to
date your goals or not, or which ones feel comfortable to set
dates to.
Part 2 Exercises
Exercise 1: Master Goals List
From all the desires and inspiration you elicited from the exercises
in Part 1 (that you may want to create into a list of passions and
desires), creating a big list of goals that are really compelling to
you at this time.
This can be seen as a Master Goals List that transforms
your deepest wishes, dreams and desires into more specific goals.
See if you can create a list of, say, 50-100 goals, or at least 20 to
begin with if youre finding that number too much. You can never
have too many goals, so just let yourself go in writing down all
your heart desires.
Goals are your personal wish list to the universe. They engage co-
creation as they focus your intentions and consolidate your
desires in grounded form. The more you have, the more you give
the universe to work and play with on your behalf, and you can let
go and trust those that are in your highest will begin manifesting,
-
7/22/2019 Goal Setting Guide

20
as the universe co-creates with magical synchronicities that
weave your successes into your life. When it comes to goals, the
more you have, the more you are likely to achieve.
Just by writing goals down they are more likely to come true, so
go for it!
Big, small, and in-between, think of all you desire in your life, from
ways to have fun, places to travel to, people to meet, work with
and have relationships with, your ideal career, home, creativity,
giving, loving and inspiring, businesses, hobbies, and projects, etc.
Exercise 2: Primary Goals List
Out of the long Master Goals List above, there will be those goals
that feel most relevant that you feel called to work with most at
this time, and it is these you may wish to focus on for this course.
For this reason create a smaller NOWGoals Listof 510 tops
goals that are you current top ones for manifesting at this time,that feel most relevant and appealing to you and you are most
passionate and enthusiastic about moving towards.
It is this list you can work to create Vision Templates for in Part 3
coming up.
Keep your Master Goals List and Mini Master Goals List for future
reference, adding to it as and when desired. You might like towrite your Mini Master Goals List down on a piece of card and
carry it in your pocket to read and refer to regularly.
3) Time-Line Goals

21
Now you are clearer on your goals, it can be helpful to write them
out in timed categories.
Write out your most compelling goals for the future time periods
stated below:
1 month's time
3 month's time
6 month's time
1 year's time
3 year's time
5 Years Time continue as desired.
Part 3Vision Templates
Below you will create a Vision Template for a desired goal, or
several combined into one Vision Template. This will enhance the
visualization of your goals and experience with the Manifesting
Blueprint Meditation that comes with this course.
a)A Vision Template is a picture, scene or scenariothat
encapsulates your goal and adds depth to it by bringing in more
detail and engaging your 5 senses, as will be covered.
It demonstrates the outcome you seek and that you have, without
a doubt, achieved the goal you have in mind with plenty of real-
life sensory detail.
-
7/22/2019 Goal Setting Guide
22/26
Aine Belton, www.aine.tv All Rights Reserved 22
22
To create your Vision Template, write out a scene, scenario or
series of events that epitomizes your goal outcome.
For example, if your primary goal was to become a best-selling
author, an outcome scene or scenario that demonstrated that
might include being interviewed by a radio host or television
presenter about the success of your book, and the Vision
Template would involve all the detail around that, such as which
radio or television station, what you might be wearing, what you
would be discussing and to whom, what the details of the
environment would be, etc.
Or you may imagine giving a book-signing in a book store, or
picking up a copy of your book in your favourite book store, with
the publishers name you desire on it, and reading the glowing
reviews on the back cover, or a huge book-launch celebration
party, or seeing your name on the Times best-sellers list, or
reading a glowing review in a magazine about the success of your
book, etc.
Decide on a scene/scenario that would epitomize or encapsulate
the attainment of a given goal on your primary goals. Once you
have that in mind you now want to engage your 5 senses to make
your Vision Template rich and tangible (as shared below).
b) Engaging your Senses
The 5 senses are:
Seeing
Hearing
Feeling/touching

Smelling
Tasting
Your Vision Template serves to create a rich, vivid and alive
template of your goal by engaging the 5 senses.
What would you be seeing, feeling, smelling, tasting and hearing
in the scene/picture/scenario of your goal outcome if your
dream had come true?
Write these down.
Your Vision Template can be a single scene/picture, or a moving
series of events. Imagine what your senses would be experiencing
at the time, which helps to encode your goal at an subconscious
level when you then visualise that in meditation.
Your subconscious mind doesnt know the difference between
what is real and what is imagined!
Creating a Vision Template that engages the 5 senses, and then
visualizing that in a deeply relaxed state of meditation, programs
your subconscious mind with the outcome you desire. By making
it as vivid and real as you can in your imagination internally, you
will manifest it in your outer life.
To continue with my earlier example,if you were imagining
picking up your best-selling book from a store shelf and looking atthe cover, reviews and inside pages, what book shop/store might
you be in? What would you be hearing, smelling? What would the
book feel like in your hands (texture of the front cover and inside
pages)? What might the cover look like? And what else would you

be seeing? (E.g. other books on the shelf, people in the book
store, the store-front before you walk in, etc).
To summarize:
1.a) Create a Vision Template for a given goal you are wantingto focus on - a scene/scenario that epitomizes and
encapsulates the outcome your goal.
b) Put yourself in the picture of this scene and imagine what
your 5 senses would be experiencing. Write down on a piece
of paper what you would be seeing, hearing,
feeling/touching, smelling and tasting in your outcome
scenario.
These steps create a Vision Template from your goal. They allow
you to get in touch with a detailed picture of a goal outcome
which you will engage in the Manifesting Blueprint Meditation or
anytime you choose to visualize your goal.
You can do this for each goal on your primary goals list that you
are wanting to work on in this course.
Combined Vision Template
Above I have described a process for creating a Vision Template
for a specific goal you have in mind. You can use this same
process to create a combined template for several goals, asynergy template if you like, by imagining a scene, scenario or
series of events that together encapsulate the successful outcome
of more than one goal.
For example:

You could imagine driving into the drive way of your ideal home,
and on entering the house being greeted by your true love
partner and a group of wonderful loving friends that are there to
celebrate the success of your published book, and together you
listen to your radio or television interview and talk about your
success with joy.
In this way you have created a Vision Template for the outcome of
several goals (car, home, partner, friends, vocation, wealth, etc.,
in this particular example).
If visualizing is not your thing, dont worry! It is the FEELINGS that
are most important in this whole process.
Even if you can only very vaguely or roughly imagine your Vision
Template in meditation, feeling the experience and therefore its
realness is what is most powerful and important, and with that
you will still get great results even if you are very poor at
visualizing with your inner eye. Visualizing can improve withpractice, however, doing so flexing the muscles of your
imagination and inner-eye.
Feelings: Its What You Feel that Makes it Real!
Most important of all are the feelings you would be feeling if you
had achieved your goal. Emotions are immensely powerful when
it comes to manifesting reality and the law of attraction. They arethe vibrating energy patterns that are creating your reality.
Write a list of what you will be feeling when you have achieved
your desired outcome. This is only as a guide for now, for when
you visualize your goals in a manifesting meditation and step into

them to experience them NOW, you will access these emotions
more naturally, deeply and vividly by experiencing the outcome of
your goal in a deeply relaxed state of mind.
Doing this may feel like more of an intellectual process, but try
and get into the feelings around your goal and see what comes
up. When visualizing your goals in a deeply relaxed state you will
be experiencing the emotions in a more tangible way, rather than
just pondering what they may be, thinking about them, or
accessing them lightly as in this exercise.
Whats more, there may be many feelings you cant put into
words or dont even know what they are or feel like until you
more fully put yourself in the picture in the manifesting
meditations that come with this course.
Nonetheless, for now have a tune-in to what you would be feeling
if you had achieved your goal, putting yourself in the shoes of that
future. Love, freedom, delight, peace, celebration, triumph,
confidence, joy, abundance?
Obviously, the feelings will depend on the nature of your goal and
what that goal means for you. It can be an interesting exercise as
can reveal more of the Why behind your goal which is all
important.
