Creating a Vision Board for your future self.

A vision board is not about being creative and it’s certainly not about being artistic. 

It’s about relaxation and about meeting your true self.

Enabling you to visualise a representation of what you are inviting into your life.  

It’s a map of your world.

How to start?

A vision board is a collection of images that show your desired realities, It helps you focus your energy on a desired goal or a group of goals.

Goals with Soul

You choose either one of the areas below, or create a board that incorporates all of them!

• Health
• Self-image
• Relationship(s)
• Job/Career
• Creativity
• Family/Friends
• Travel
• Spirituality

This list is only limited by your imagination.

What you'll need:

1.  1 x A2 piece of card, any weight is fine, if you wish to go bigger, then go for it.  A1 it is!
2.  A stack of magazines 20+ - find a variety of magazines; i.e photography, travel, fitness, national geographic, mens, women's, crafting, art, animals, cars.    Ask at your local hairdressers, or dentist for what they may be throwing out/recycling.
3.  A Glue Stick.
4.  Scissors
5.  Sharpies/Marker pens
6.  Plain paper for writing power words

How to create your Vision Board

Begin with Relaxation

​It is always preferable to get quiet, and be still.  For about 10 minutes focus on your breathing and relax your brain.  Take this time to meditate with a guided meditation, or simple play some relaxing music to allow yourself to relax and tap into the part of you that is going to connect with your inner dreams.  You can use this music below from Paul Collier to quieten your mind

Music

​Music is really important as you vision.   Create a playlist that invokes calm and feels really soothing to you.

You will need this as you begin to flick through and scan the magazines.

Begin

​Choose any magazine and start to flick through.

Notice what catches your eye

Colour, Word, Image

Cut it out and put it to one side

Don't spend time analysing, cut it out and put it to one side.

When you have quite a stash of cut outs
​
The cutting out is a process in it's own right.  Spend at least 30-40 minutes cutting out

Then turn to your lovely clear A2 or A1 piece of card and start to stick down the images and words that mean something to you as you now look at them again.

Do you feel a flicker of eagerness when you look at the image you have chosen?

Does your heart skip a beat?

Can you sit staring at that picture for a long while?

Are you taken off into a new adventure?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you know you're on the right track.

How to use your Vision Board in your daily life

​My suggestions are to keep your finished piece private, if you can. 

Don’t put it on show as others may choose not to appreciate it the same way you do, so only share it with those people close to you. 

Place your vision board somewhere you will see it every day, where you can lose yourself in some of those images and you can think, see, feel, hear what it would be like to “be in it”.

After a while you may find you don’t resonate with it, that’s the time to change its location, perhaps put it away and let things settle. 

Sooner rather than later, you’ll realise if you want to do another one.

The idea of the vision boards is to show YOU in your ideal scenario with your goal fully realised.

If you can, make sure you put yourself in the picture.  For a realistic effect use a photograph of yourself. 

Show yourself, being, doing, or having your desired objective – travelling round the world, proud author of your new book etc.

Show the situation in its ideal, complete form, as if it already exists.

You don’t need to indicate how it came about. 

This is the finished product. 

Don’t show anything negative or undesirable.

Make it believable to you.

Vision with the Moon
A new in person workshop for 2018
Experience the power of visioning in a group

What if I told you that starting to Vision every month in a designated Book would help you calm your mind, soothe your soul and inspire your life? 

Soulful collage is a cool tool and you'll find some very intuitive imagery and words coming through that shine a light on different areas of your life. 

In this day workshop, I will introduce and guide you through The Art of Visioning. You'll start by creating your very first page plus give yourself permission to be still and revel in the gorgeousness that visioning brings, especially in a group environment.

There will also be guided meditation to connect you to your page.

Why are we Visioning with the Moon?

The Moon, whether new or full, waxing or waning has a big impact on how we connect to our intuitive selves.  It's a focus for us to use the Moon as guide.  You don't have to really know much about the Moon, just think of it as a point of reference every month.  In days gone by, our months were guided and known by the Lunar Calendar.  The Moon was a starting and ending point and therefore, this gives us a goal.

Put your intellectual head to one side and step inside your intuitive self. 

No art experience needed for this and all materials will be supplied.

All you need is your imagination

Join me and let me guide you.

Your investment £50 GBP

You will be able to purchase lunch separately from The Wychwood Inn, who have a wide range of food on their menu, catering for all tastes.   

Sign up below for Vision with the Moon
in the Cotswolds.
