Intentional Vision for Non-Visual People

We all know that visualization is an important key to realizing the life we desire to live, but some of us are not naturally visual. There are four ways in which we process or receive information. We all have and use each of them, but we're strongest in one.

Visual people easily see things in their mind, like colors, shapes, or even whole images. Audients hear things, like words, music, or other sounds. Feelers get information as a feeling that allows them to identify it. Intuitives just get a knowing; they sense things and just know. Understanding our personal mode of receiving and interpreting information is very empowering because then we can let go of expectations and frustrations about not getting something the way someone else does.

When I'm working on visualizing a desired outcome, it is often difficult for me to see a picture of it. Instead, I get a sense of it, like detecting the energetic quality of it. Then I can bring up an emotional response to it. That's what works for me. Sometimes I do see images, but they are usually vague. The energy of the "vision" is what really has an impact.

So, if you're not a visual person, how do you visualize your desired outcomes? For me, the solution is writing. Obviously, I love to write. It's how I express myself, ask for guidance, and receive inspiration. I can use that to support my visualization and intention process. There's a notebook that I have just for this purpose.

In my notebook, I write down how I believe I will feel after a desired outcome has manifested. It's written in the present tense, as if it's already here. While I am specific about what I choose to manifest, my focus is more on the emotional state of experiencing it. For example, "It's so much fun being out in my finished back yard, with all the trees, grass, and flowers. I love it!"

As I write these things down, a faint image comes to mind, with the feelings of it already being in my reality. The whole thing has an energetic quality, like a signature. I can sense that energy signature, which then becomes identified with the intention. Recalling the intention brings back the sense of it's energetic signature, and vice versa. Thinking of the energetic signature also brings back the intention.

If you're not naturally a visual person, but an intuitive, this may be the way to support your intentions that works for you. Feelers, your power lies in your ability to deeply feel things whether or not they're immediately present. Focus more on the way an outcome would feel and don't worry about sensing it's energy. You are, just in a different way. Audients, use your words to paint pictures. Get as descriptive as you can, and listen with your imagination to the sounds that would be present with the manifestation of your desires.
