Dreams Come True Series III: Treasure Vision Maps

Written by: Marcie Hunt

Article Overview: Many of you have heard about treasure maps. If you have seen the DVD The Secret, then you have heard the story from John Assaraf about realizing his vision of a dream home. My clients use this tool very effectively. I call the process “treasure vision maps.” I would like to share a personal story with you.

Dreams Come True Series III: Treasure Vision Maps

Seven years ago, I took out an 81/2” by 11” cardboard, and pasted white paper to it. I found pictures of Sedona Arizona, where my husband and I have enjoyed vacations numerous times. Sedona is a beautiful desert area with magnificent red rock formations.

A picture of one of the most photographed views of Sedona, Cathedral Rock, was pasted at the top of my treasure map. Next to it was written, “Great views from the house!” Below was a picture of a large home with red rocks just behind it. The caption next to it read: “Our beautiful spacious home!” Other words were written such as how the house is secluded, with a writer’s studio and everything is decorated in a style we love. Under the photo of another view, I put Breathtaking Beauty. Lift your spirit and soothe your mind. And finally I added the words “We can easily afford our home. Thank you Universal Spirit.”

We took a trip to Sedona to purchase our dream home. Our realtor said, at the end of the day, there is one more house I think you will love. In the pouring rain we walked up the steps of this home. We held our breath as we took in the most incredible 360- degree views I have ever seen. We bought the property that day.

Can you guess which of the three views we have, that is most prominent from the house? You guessed it-Cathedral Rock- the one at the top of my treasure map. All the details written on the treasure map became a reality. Pictures of the home and the treasure maps can be seen on my website.

SO ARE YOU READY TO PLAY? Because your deepest heartfelt dreams can come true as well.
Here is one tool, the treasure map, that you will have lots of fun with-I promise! Your desire may be realized at any time, as long as you believe it can come true. It may happen tomorrow, or in one month, or longer, depending on the size of the dream and what steps are involved to make it happen.

First, take a few moments, or as long as you need, to decide what you would like to realize at this time. It may be as simple as taking a long awaited trip to an exotic or exciting place. It may be a business project, if it really inspires you. You could decide that you are ready for a new wardrobe, a new car, or that you would like to improve your living space. It may be a sentimental dream including family or loved ones.

WRITE YOUR DREAM NOW:
Describe your dream as vividly as possible. Use words that inspire you, that bring up joyful feelings, and that really allow you to get a sense of creating your reality.

Next, find a piece of lightweight cardboard and create a white background. Now comes the fun part! Look in magazines for photos or written phrases that correspond to your goals. You can also write your phrases on the computer and add those to the treasure map. You should incorporate pictures of yourself since you are energizing your desires and manifesting them through these processes.

When you write your intentions make sure they are written in the present tense. For example, “As I serve others with my natural talents and skills, I also receive an abundance of financial prosperity.” Another example is, “I am more and more fit and healthy each day.”

Once you are finished with your treasure map, be sure to put it somewhere where you can see it every day. Our treasure map for the house was next to the kitchen where we saw it each time we passed by. Every time we saw it and felt excited and expectant, we were drawing more attractor energy to draw it in!

One good way to reinforce the realization of your dream is to take one of the affirmations you have written for your treasure map, and put it on an index card. You can affirm this phrase from time to time. Another way is to write about it in your daily or weekly writing journal.

How will you know when changes begin to occur? Watch for people and opportunities that emerge on your path. Notice what comes up that pertains to your dream. For example, someone may talk to you about a class or courses they just heard about, that can help you to achieve your goals. A loved one may share an idea that inspires you to take a step toward your dream, that you might not have otherwise taken.

So is there any reason why you would not follow up and create your treasure map? Take the time to invest in your life dreams. You deserve to live a powerful and satisfying life.

This tool has enabled others to make their intentions more visual and real. Examples of realized dreams include Janet’s change from accounting to a position in business development with an international company. Mitch’s realized dream was creating improved financial prosperity and attracting wonderful new clients he could serve as a consultant. Linda’s dream was accomplished also with the help of a treasure map. Her goal was to enjoy better self-esteem and a healthy fit body. Linda has regained her self-esteem and has lost forty pounds in the course of a few months,through inner work, exercise and healthy nutrition.

DREAM COME TRUE AFFIRMATION:
"I am opening up to receiving and achieving the realization my most cherished dreams."

TECHNIQUE OF THE MONTH:
Each day, I notice what people, situations and opportunities come into my life. Everything and everyone on my path has meaning. I may be here to help them, or they may be a part of supporting my dream, or both. Even small events that occur can be a step toward fulfilling my hearts desires. I follow my intuition, and act upon guidance and support that I receive.
There is no right or wrong here. Just be aware of your surroundings, and pay attention to the signs. Then follow up!

Silverstein 2006 From the inside jacket: "Today's consumers can seem impossible to understand, and even harder to please. For instance, the average mall shopper will spend about $100, then leave when she hits that limit. SHe'll probably buy shoes rather than clothing, because she doesn't want to think about her dress size. And the store most likely to get her money isn't the one with the nicest display or the deepest discounts - it's the one closest to her parking spot." Okay, ladies here at evancarmichael.com?

The Introduction states: "This book tells the story of how middle-class consumers around the world are reshaping the consumer-goods market by trading down to low-price products and services, trading up to premium ones, and avoiding the boredom and low value that increasingly characterizes the middle.

Re: Web Idea - Hi Som, Welcome aboard. Almost everything that I can add is already mentioned by the ever-active, respected members of the Forum. But I would like to bring it to your attention that whenever we have our idea and nurture it for long, it becomes something like our baby and we are all possessive about that. True. Now the question is that as we are mostly possessive of our idea how far can we go about it? I mean, you say your idea is fresh as morning coffee. True to you but have you researched and actually tried to find out the feasibility part of it? I have also been a programmer and as such I feel that many of the ideas that we have generally look seemingly better in book but when it comes to reality, there is a difference. So I would recommend you to re-consider the idea. Not as Som but as someone who is a client of the idea. Please step into the shoes and find out whether you would go for the product as a client! If yes, then lets start with doing a market research and the follow up with the other formalities. Reason being that its getting late and the Coffee may lose its freshness! Good Luck,
