To manifest love through creative visualization, you first need to learn how to suspend or hold an image of the desired outcome in your mind in as much detail as possible.

For instance, let's say that you need to resolve an argument with a dear friend. The first thing you need to do is empty your head as much as possible of all thoughts so that your mind seems like a blank slate. It is also essential that you get as still and as quiet as possible to encourage a meditative state. Some find playing a favorite piece of music encourages one's imaging faculties.

Before imagining any goal, you might want to assist your imagination by asking yourself a number of questions. What does your friend look like? How is she wearing her hair the day that you run across each other. Is this a random meeting or does the phone ring first? What kind of conversation will you have on the phone? Where exactly will you meet? What is the expression on her face when she sees you? If you want her to smile when she sees you, picture her smiling. Picture her hugging you.

Picture what you don't think is possible. Visualize, in the greatest detail possible, the best outcome to the situation possible. Experts say that the more detail that you can imagine, the more likely you are to manifest the event in the future.

THE HOUSE OF THE HEART

Picture the individual that you are concerned about in as full detail as possible. Now imagine that the person is shrinking smaller and smaller until he or she easily fits in the palm of your hand.

Now imagine your heart as a tiny red house with a door. Open the door to one of the chambers and put the tiny person inside and close it. In your mind, reassure the person that they are "safe in your heart."

LOVE MAGNET CREAM

You are at the cosmetics counter of a fancy department store. A smiling woman dressed in pink and gold offers you a sample of a cream to try for free. The jar is gold. The label on the jar reads Love Magnet Cream.

You take the cream home and open the jar. Inside is a glowing pink cream. You take this cream and apply it to your hands. As you do you feel a pleasant tingling sensation wash over you. As you apply more, it transforms your skin, making it radiate a transparent pink, silver and gold light.

As you apply this cream to the rest of your body, you feel yourself growing younger, happier and more vibrant with health. You imagine yourself becoming more magnetic to love.

You decide to get up and take a walk. Let your imagination take you to where you want to go. Where does your imagination lead you? Who do you meet on your path? Whoever manifests in your visualizations can give you clues to the direction your love life should take.

FLOWER STAR GARDEN

Imagine that you are strolling through a desert at night. You have been stranded in this desert for forty days. You feel dirty and thirsty, but there are no plants, no ponds and no water to be had at all.

You look up in the sky and see thousands of fat, shining stars. You look up at one star and make a wish. Suddenly the star falls and plops into the sand below you.

Even though you are very dehydrated, you find yourself shedding one tear. This tear lands on the site of the fallen star.

To your amazement, a sprig of green shoots up through the desert floor. This soft tendril grows in accelerated motion. It unfurls leaves and a giant bud. It is up to you to picture what kind of flower it is, but it is not a flower that you have ever seen on earth. The flower is huge, the size of your head or even larger. The bud opens up to reveal its petals. Notice the flower's vibrant color. Inhale its heady and alluring fragrance. Does it smell like fruit, or roses or chocolate? Touch the petals. Do they feel like satin, feathers or velvet? When you touch the flower it begins to emit beautiful music. Try to imagine what this flower looks like in as much detail as you can...

As the flower opens up you notice that it is cupping a small pond full of water. You scoop this refreshing liquid up into your hands and bathe your face, hands and body with it. You take a long, refreshing cool drink from between your cupped hands.

After you have drunk from the center of the flower, you look up and notice that more stars are falling from the sky. They plant themselves in the ground and spring up tendrils and buds. At first there are just a few of these flowers, but soon, more fall. To your amazement no one flower seems to be the same as another. As each one blooms they spill water onto the barren ground forming ponds and pools with waterfalls. Many of these plants grow large and house birds and other animals. The heady aroma of the perfume of this enchanted forest fills your nostrils. You take deep exhalations and relax in this magical place filled with music, flowing water, nature and the velvety blackness of the night sky.

Your relaxation is interrupted when you hear a noise. You sit up and see a person approaching you. What does this person look like? Have you met him or her before?

This person reaches out to you and embraces you. The person that manifests in this visualization can provide you with important astral information about what it is you need to correct in your love life or whom you might meet in the future.
