How To Create A Spiritual Vision Board

Visual stimulus has a tremendous impact on our minds. Using photographs, images, and affirmations as a concrete representation of your hopes, objectives, and perfect life is a powerful approach to bring your goals to existence. Making a Spiritual Vision Board as opposed to a standard Vision Board is perhaps one of the most useful visualizing tools you can use.

So, what makes a Spiritual Vision Board different from a standard Vision Board?

Although both types of boards work on the idea of Ask, Believe, and Receive (Matthew 21:22), only the Spiritual Vision Board recognizes this as a scriptural principle. Other scriptural ideas, such as Habakkuk 2:2 and Proverbs 3:6, are also incorporated into Spiritual Vision Boards.

“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he who readeth it may run,” says Habakkuk 2:2. While Proverbs 3:6 emphasizes the necessity of prioritizing God in whatever we do.

In my new book, Visual Prayer: How to Create a Spiritual Vision Board, readers will learn how to combine these and other biblical ideas into the creation of their spiritual vision boards.

Visual Prayer explains how to make your own spiritual vision board in four simple steps. These steps are as follows:

• ASK: Create a spiritual vision board with purpose. Select clear and plain photographs from various publications to receive your heart's desires, and create affirmations and mantras that mirror your vision and positively motivate and empower you.
• BELIEVE: To activate your Spiritual Vision Board, use Inspired Thought (Spiritual Enlightenment), Visualization, Mindfulness, and Gratitude.
• REVISE: As you obtain your heart's wishes, revise your pictures, affirmations, and mantras.

Do you want to understand more about this four-step procedure? Part 2 of “How does a Spiritual Vision Board vary from a conventional Vision Board?” is on its way. You can also look forward to the December 2015 release of my book Visual Prayer: How to Create a Spiritual Vision Board.

What do you put in a spiritual vision board?

I frequently utilize vision boards to attract things into my life. When my husband and I got engaged, for example, we made a large vision board of our future lives together. Every time we moved, we hung it in our bedroom. Since then, I've created a vision board at least once a year. I normally do one in the New Year with a specific goal in mind. I also make a new vision board every time I publish a new book—and I've published 26 so far. When I work with daters, I often have them create a vision board of the match they want to attract, and couples create a vision board for the next three years together. This catalyzes your unconscious to start manifesting those things by setting the energy invitation and intention.

I like to cut out images and print out personal photos to incorporate on my vision boards. To make it look like one larger image, I also type down words, paste in quotes or phrases in marker, and occasionally use paint colors in between the photographs. Affirmations are also written by some persons.

How do I make my own vision board?

Note: This is the general method I employ. Take what you want from these guidelines and make up the rest yourself. Create your own procedure! At the end, I'll give you some suggestions for other formats and procedures, as well as some resources and books that you might find useful if you want to learn more.

This is my first opportunity to reflect on where I am now, what is working in my life, and what isn't. I like to reflect on the events of the previous year, what I've accomplished, what lessons I've learned, and what I'm grateful for. This phase really sets the tone for the rest of the process.

Then I sit down with a piece of paper and a pen to consider my goals for the following year.

This is my big brain dump, including everything from large goals and desires (publish a book, learn to meditate, take the family on vacation) to small wish lists (buy a new vacuum cleaner), intentions (be more attentive, connect with my family better), and words for the year (clarity, joy, peace).

After I finish the first brain dump, I go over my notes and thoughts to determine my priorities and either circle them or make a new list.

What are the things that I want to happen more than anything else? Those will undoubtedly be added to my vision board. I'll put a lot of other items on my board as well, but I want to make sure the biggies receive their due.

It's now time to look for and cut out images and statements that represent your aspirations or simply speak to you.

I leaf through a stack of publications (generally from the free stack at the public library or bought for a quarter each from Goodwill). Then I cut out everything that appeals to me—colors, words, and interesting images. But I'm also on the lookout for images and words that are relevant to my objectives.

Also, if I can't locate a decent image for a purpose or objective, I go to the web and do an image search. In reality, I'm increasingly turning to the internet to obtain the ideal photographs to express my objectives. There's so much to choose from, and it's so simple to conduct an image search to locate anything specific.

My goal boards are made up of a mix of magazine photos, pictures printed off the internet, and words.

Because I frequently come across a large number of photographs, I set aside some time to sort through and prune my collection. I'm seeking for one or more photographs that convey the essence and mood of each aim in the end.

Sometimes I draw radiating lines from a central point and use the different triangular forms as life area parts, and other times I split the poster board into a nine-section bagua (Feng Shui map of living regions).

It's completely optional, but it can provide a great structure as well as some general life categories to keep your objectives and vision board well-rounded.

I typically write my objectives and intentions for each area right on the poster board after separating the poster board into life sections. It'll be covered with collage images afterwards, so I don't have to worry about how it looks or if I'm just thinking on paper and change my mind about some of my priorities or whatever.

This section aids in the completion of my objectives. If my first brain dump was centered on income and health, I am now reminded to think about relationships, talents, and other factors. This section also helps me concentrate when I'm putting together my vision board.

And I appreciate how the layer of intention and goals is integrated into the final vision board, even if you can't see it. It gives me the impression that it's adding another layer of intention to the vision board's enchantment!

So, with your poster board in hand and your stack of photographs in hand, sift through the images and pick what belongs on the poster board, then position it roughly in the section where it will go. If you choose, you can remove backgrounds or trim photographs as you go. Then go through the rest of the clippings.

Some photos will be used on the poster board, while others will be recycled and placed in a “later” pile to be used in a future collage.

Stand back and take a look at the board once you've depicted all of your objectives and dreams on it. How does it appear?

Proceed to the following step if you're satisfied with the board. Otherwise, keep rearranging, adding images or words, and trimming around others until you're happy.

Begin gluing everything down after you're happy with the layout. Turn each image or word over, apply a layer of glue with a glue stick, and stick it to the poster board one at a time. To smooth it out as much as possible, rub it with your hands.

This is an optional step, but it's a fun way to bring your vision board to a close. Use Sharpie markers to add your own text, doodles, or sketches over and around the collaged photos, or glue on fun collage elements like sequins, glitter, lace, ribbon, or whatever else you choose.

Hang your vision board on the wall where you'll see it frequently once it's finished. Consider your office, your bedroom, or your living room. It's crucial to make a vision board, but it's even more important to look at it on a frequent basis.

Take a photo of the vision board as well. This digital version can be used as a computer or phone wallpaper.

Making a vision board is only the start! It's now time to put it to work as a guide and road map for your new life.

— Review your board as you make it, whether it's a daily or weekly to-do list.
