GUIDE TO VISUALIZATION

Updated: Sep 20, 2023

Learn how you can transform your ballet technique with your MIND

As I told you, last week, visualization is one of the most powerful tools a dancer can use to create success.

Today we are going to focus on HOW TO VISUALIZE in an effective way!

With the visualization exercise you are shutting down all your sensory faculties (sight, hearing, smell, taste,touch) for the purpose of this exercise you have to shut off all your concerns

You must put aside all the worries of the physical world and you tap into your imagination, where you build the picture and with your will you hold it on the screen of your mind

Remember when you were a child?

That's right, use your imagination and let your imagination fly as if you were a child and hold the image of what you want in your mind with as much detail as possible.

If you simply hold it in your conscious mind and do not get emotional with it, nothing will happen. Nothing will happen because the feeling is the key for the success of the visualization

Visualize over and over again with feeling and your frequency changes until it is in harmony with the good you desire

The exercise of imagination keeps your mind focused on what you want and it will attract what you need or wish.

How to visualize in an effective way?

You have to create the vision of what you want

Keep impressing the new image on your subconscious mind and you will create your new reality!

Visualize your heart´s desire and hold it with your will and get emotionally envolved with it.This is really powerful and It attracts to you: all things requisite to the fulfillement of that picture.

5 steps to a perfect visualization:

  1. Create a picture in the screen of your mind

  2. Examine it with all the details (all that you remember)

  3. Examine it to see if it is what you really want

  4. Become emotionally envolved with it

  5. Do it over and over again and you will see outer reality shaping itself upon the model of your imagination

If you are a beginner in this subject, use this checklist. Getting this right will change your life.

When should you do it?

The best time to do this exercise is first thing in the morning and before bed

BUT for maximum results in your dance technique – you should do it throughout the day while you are training

Let me explain to you how, in a more practical way, with some examples.

Now I am going to approach two different ballet-related situations:

1- To improve any technical issue

a) You can visualize the movement in itself (ex: pirouettes, arabesque, jumps, pointe work, etc) with all the details.

b) Imagine the movement performed perfectly

c) feel the emotion of your satisfaction and excitement at finally being able to execute the movement properly.

d) repeat it over and over in your mind and hold that image (before doing the movement)

e) hold that image while you´re doing the movement and do that movement with the feeling of certainty that you have already mastered the movement perfectly

2- To improve your ballet variation a) You can visualize the ballet variation with all the details. b) Imagine you are dancing it perfectly c) feel the emotion of your satisfaction and excitement at finally being able to dance the variation with perfection. d) repeat it over and over in your mind and hold that image. You can visualize listening to the ballet variation music. Use your phones and with your eyes closed visualize all the details of your variation at the same time you are listening to the music.

e) hold that image while you´re dancing the variation with the feeling of certainty that you have already mastered the variation

As you can see, Visualization is discipline and practice.

Train your mind to think in a way that is going to get you what you want

Everyone visualizes, whether they know it or not. Don't let fear and insecurity fill your mind with images of what you don't want. Instead, use your power and imagine things as you want them to happen.

Visualizing is the great secret of success!

Visualization can help you in all areas of your life

It can help you get the results you want even with your technique

You have to try it!

This is a really powerful tool!

Try it and as you see the changes starting to occur, write to us and let us know the exciting things that are happening in your life.

I look forward to hearing from you.

To your full potential
