Dreams... they tend to come true! You just need to dream correctly, or rather, formulate your desires correctly!
A collage of desires is a colorful composition that clearly illustrates all a person’s cherished dreams. A collage of desires, a poster of desires, a newspaper of happiness, a map of desires, a treasure map, a vision board - all these are synonyms that help a person tune in to the fulfillment of his desires. The main idea is this: in order for all your wishes to come true, you need to visualize them (record them in the form of a picture), then you are tuned in to the fulfillment of these desires, and they will certainly come true.
It is important that the collage contains precisely the cherished dreams - those that inspire, that evoke a smile of happiness, the most positive emotions. And those that you really believe in!
A collage can be made from available materials: whatman paper, glue, scissors and glossy magazines. Or you can use modern tools and make a collage using graphic editors or online services (we will talk about them later).
Rules for making a collage
To make your dreams come true, and come true exactly as they should, you should follow a few golden rules for creating a collage.
* For the collage you should choose the most beautiful, bright and emotional photographs.
* The collage should not be faceless; your photos must be present. The photo must be taken during a favorable period for you, so that it carries the energy of happiness, joy, and warmth.
* Your collage should not include random people and objects. If you dream of meeting your love, then it is better to depict it symbolically or in the form of a drawing, and not with a photo of a nice guy (after all, you are unlikely to meet this guy - and the collage takes everything literally).
* You can add inscriptions - they specify your desire: exactly how much you want to earn, by what year you want to complete the construction of the house. Moreover, your desires in the collage should be expressed as if they had already come true: not “I want to lose weight,” but “I’m slim, beautiful, I weigh 55 kg,” and “this summer I’m vacationing on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea,” and not “ I want to go to the sea” (in the second case there is a chance to end up on the Baltic Sea in February).
* Desires should bring joy to you and your loved ones, they should be safe for you and others.
* Pictures for the collage must be flawless: no stains, scratches, etc. After all, a random scratch in a picture may well turn out to be real in reality (You don’t dream of a new car with a scratch on the side, right?)
The collage is compiled for a certain period, usually one to three years. Therefore, a good starting point for creating your own collage would be New Year's Eve or a period close to your birthday.
Important points
A vision board is a powerful energetic tool, the action of which is aimed at the productive fulfillment of innermost fantasies. To create it, you can use a classic A4 sheet, which can easily fit into a frame. But the optimal choice would be Whatman paper, which allows you to visualize numerous desires, as well as opening up limitless scope for experimentation.
Important! The selected sheet should not contain lines, cells or other graphic images. The sample card should be absolutely blank, symbolizing a new page in life that you will fill out yourself, representing secret dreams.
Parapsychologists focused on two main points that influence the effectiveness of the created map:
- Before you start creating, you need to relax as much as possible and clearly formulate the goals you want to achieve and make a wish for them. To do this, you can use instrumental music, a candle flame or water, which allows you to concentrate and bring brain activity to a state of rest.
- Select photographs and pictures that are as close as possible to real images. They can be cut out from glamorous magazines, brochures or taken from the vastness of the World Wide Web.
If there is no drawing in a suitable format, use creativity. You can draw your dream house, car or other goal that you want to achieve. A textual interpretation is also allowed - an inscription expressing fantasies in verbal form.
Why does this work?
It’s interesting, isn’t it, why, when the dream was only in the head, it remained there, and when it appeared in the picture, it came true?
Optimists' opinion. We give strength to what we think about, and if these are beautiful dreams, then much more strength is given! If we think about good things, then all good things come into our lives! And if we do this often and specifically, then the more we bring the arrival of what we want closer. And if you also worked with your hands - cut it out, glued it, signed it - then the arrival of what you want is simply inevitable!
The opinion of psychologists. When a person dreams, he draws colorful images in his head, sees the fulfillment of his dream, experiences emotions in connection with its reality, and believes in it.
Thus, in the process of “dreaming” many more nerve cells of the brain are involved than in the normal mode of its operation. A special psycho-emotional mood is created, the subconscious begins to work. As you know, the conscious part of the psyche occupies only 10%, the remaining 90% is the subconscious. Even after we have stopped thinking about the desired object, event, the subconscious continues to work, it continues to work even when a person has fallen asleep. Thus, unexpected ideas and insights come to us from the subconscious that lead to what we want; a certain premonition that we are not aware of helps us to be in the right place at the right time. Therefore, for something to come true, you need to think and dream about it!
The opinion of esotericists. All our thoughts are material. When we think or dream about something, each thought takes on a certain thought form at the mental level, in other words, in the space surrounding a person. If you constantly “feed” this thought form with your hopes, feelings, expectations of its implementation, then it will become denser and denser, and, in the end, will manifest itself in the material world.
How to activate the vision board, where to store it?
Whatever method you use to create a vision board , you must activate it, charging it with positive energy for the fulfillment of what you want. To do this, it’s enough to temporarily attach a card to it with something that you really want, and at the same time you can easily buy it for yourself right now.
It could be a bracelet, a handbag, or just ice cream or chocolate. Something that will lift your spirits and bring you joy. Then go to the store and buy it for yourself. Carefully remove the picture with this item from the board and stick on something new.
Wish card
If you live alone, store it where you want - on your desk, on the western wall of the room or in the bedroom (as Feng Shui recommends) or in the hallway, so you can look at it before leaving the house and thus set yourself up for a productive day .
If you live with family and know for sure that they will treat your vision board with irony or even sarcasm, it is better to hide it away from their eyes.
Feng Shui collage
A Feng Shui collage differs from a regular dream collage in that for each desire there is a specific zone in which certain desires should be placed.
1. Southeast. This is the sector of wealth, abundance and prosperity. Here you should place material assets: apartments, cars, houses, dachas, jewelry and banknotes, if you want to own them. And accompanying inscriptions:
— I own my own cottage on the shore of a pond surrounded by a pine forest;
— I am the owner of a three-room apartment in a new building;
— I have a diamond ring;
— I am the owner of a black Range Rover Sport;
- my monthly income is $10,000, etc.
2. South. This is the reputation area. In this zone, attributes of popularity, fame, and glory would be appropriate. Related inscriptions:
— I am the most popular photographer in my city;
- I am a very popular artist, etc.
3. Southwest. This is the direction of love, here you need to place images of love, marriage, love relationships. Captions:
— my beloved proposed to me;
- I am happily married;
- We have the coolest wedding!
- etc.
4. East. Family sector: family, home comfort and warmth, interior, pets. Accompanying inscriptions:
— my parents are healthy and happy;
— my husband likes to spend time with children;
— in our house there is an atmosphere of love and warmth, etc.
5. Center. Zone of health and harmony. There must be a photo of yourself here, in the photo you must be healthy, happy, this photo must also have been taken during some favorable period for you. Captions:
- I am healthy and beautiful;
- I have a beautiful slender figure;
— my weight is 50 kg;
- I have a flat stomach and a thin waist, etc.
6. West. This sector is responsible for creativity, children and new beginnings. Captions:
— I gave birth to a healthy baby;
— my children are healthy, happy and obedient;
— I paint oil paintings, etc.
7. Northeast. Wisdom zone: symbols of knowledge, wisdom, opportunities for development and self-improvement should be placed in this zone. Inscriptions on the collage:
— I received a diploma of higher education;
— I defended my Ph.D. dissertation;
— I do yoga and meditation;
— I completed training on personal growth, etc.
8. North. This part of the collage is responsible for a career; here we place a photo of the desired activity, profession, position. Captions:
— I hold the position of director;
— I am an excellent specialist in my industry;
- I am the head of my own business, etc.
9. North-west. This is the sector of friends, helpers and travel. Related inscriptions:
- I'm traveling around the world;
- My guardian angel is always with me;
- I have loyal friends, etc.
Such a wish card obliges you to fill out each sector. But someone may be completely uninterested in fame or wealth, and while traveling there will be so many ideas that you can create a separate wish map just for them. Therefore, if you are not an ardent supporter of Feng Shui, then you can safely forget about these recommendations and make your wish card - the way you want it!
What you need to know about the wish card
Wish cards came to us from Feng Shui. The ancient sages believed that if you portray your dreams in a certain way, they will certainly come true. The method gained wild popularity at the end of the last century. After the release of the film “The Secret” and books by John Kehoe, people rushed to visualize their desires in all available ways. They took the phrase “the subconscious can do anything” too literally, so they were not shy about their desires and did not filter them at all.
Things sometimes reached the point of absurdity. I remember I had a friend who had a lot of complexes about being short. After reading about the power of the subconscious, he perked up and began to ask the universe for the missing 10 centimeters. Everything was used - wish cards, meditations 8 times a day, and spells for the growing moon.
I think the outcome is clear to you. Naturally, he didn't get any taller. But he just wasted a lot of time and aggravated his inferiority complex.
In general, after the wave of general craze for wish cards and similar methods, there was a wave of disappointment. Wishes were in no hurry to be fulfilled, people got angry, and the cards were thrown into the trash. For some time everyone forgot about them.
Today we are experiencing their second coming into our lives, but in a new capacity. The influence of wish cards has been rethought. Now this is just an auxiliary method of achieving goals that does not work on its own. This is exactly how we will look at it in this article.
If you glue an image of Abramovich’s yacht onto whatman paper, don’t expect it to miraculously materialize under the windows of your Khrushchev building. You will have to work tirelessly on any desire yourself. And you need a wish map to stay on course and remind yourself where you want to go.
Tools for creating a collage
If you are planning to make a collage of wishes on whatman paper, then you will only need scissors, glue, a bunch of different pictures and, in fact, whatman paper itself.
There are special services for creating a collage in electronic form. For example: an online wish card constructor with colorful templates on or a website that allows you to create a collage of wishes according to Feng Shui.
Also an interesting thing is the world visualization map - a map of desires based on the effect of collective visualization.
Any program for creating collages (for example, Collage Studio) or a graphic editor (Adobe Photoshop) is also suitable.
What is the difference between just dreams and specific goals?
When you daydream, your thoughts wander, jumping from one thing to another. And mental energy dissipates. Moreover, people most often think about what they don’t want - about difficulties at work and in relationships, body imperfections, lack of money, and so on. Thus, nourishing these aspects of life. What we think about becomes our reality.
But when your goals are clearly formulated and acquire a specific visual image, the subconscious begins to look for opportunities for their implementation, and most importantly, finds them!
On many resources that offer a description of how to make a wish card, I have come across the following phrases: stick a suitcase of money, a luxurious mansion, a sports car, a yacht... People obediently cut out all these yachts and mansions from magazines and don’t even think about whether they need it and in what way and at what price should they be obtained?
In extreme cases, they may simply not be fulfilled. Well, or fulfilled, but not at all in the way you think. For example, a luxury villa will not be your new home at all, but simply the house of your friends, where you will be invited to stay.
Among other practices, I have been making wish collages every year for over 7 years. And over the past few years, it has been fulfilled by 95%, and in the most magical way.
In this photo is the author of the article, Polina Fedotenkova. The picture from her collage (photo above, with a girl in a blue dress) became a reality for Polina.
When can I create a vision board?
To choose the ideal time to create a treasure map, you can simply use the Feng Shui calendar with the most suitable dates for this. If it is not there, you can consider the following recommendations:
- The ideal time to create a treasure map is the waxing moon, as well as the full moon. The best days for its creation are: 1, 3, 7 and 11 lunar days of the calendar.
- The 14th day from the beginning of the New Year according to the Chinese calendar is considered favorable.
- Another happy date is your birthday.
