Tool 12: Visioning and Re-visioning
Protection Tools
’Visioning’ means ’seeing with the inner eye’. It uses the powers of imagination and intention and the ability of the mind to create or recall images, but you don’t need to actually see a picture to use visioning as a creation tool. Some people feel or sense rather than see. The trick is to act as though you’re seeing, to make the experience feel as real as possible by using all your senses and harnessing your emotions.
To help open your mind’s eye, close your eyes and look up to the point above and between your eyebrows. This activates your third eye. You may see a ’screen’ that opens as your third eye opens, or you may find your visioning occurs a few feet in front of you or all around you. Certain crystals (see below) are particularly good for opening the third eye. Place them on your forehead.

Emerald
Traditionally associated with Venus, the planet of love, Emerald was used for amulets to attract good relationships or to ward off enchantments. It’s a stone of equilibrium on all levels and imparts the strength of character to overcome misfortune, assisting in regeneration. A wisdom stone, it also helps to discern truth.

Preseli Bluestone
Traditionally a powerful personal and earth-healing stone, Preseli Bluestone ensures that you always maintain your direction and your core strength. It helps to orientate you within your world and keeps you fully grounded. This powerful stone assists in staying ’in the moment’ and yet assists in journeying through the shamanic worlds or through multi-dimensions.
TRY THIS
To convince yourself that you can indeed see with your mind’s eye, close your eyes and imagine a bright shiny apple. When you bite into it, it’s sharp and sour. Feel how your mouth puckers, even though you know it’s going to be sour.

Re-visioning
’Re-visioning’ is slightly different from ’visioning’. It means taking a situation from the past and reviewing it in a different light, creating it again but more positively. With re-visioning, rather than seeing the negatives in a situation, you look for the gifts you received and the lessons you learned and then apply them to creating your future. You literally see the experience again in a new light by re-visioning the whole thing.

Apophyllite
A useful stone for opening the third eye, Apophyllite assists journeying and intuition. It facilitates introspection, seeks out the causes of dis-ease or fear and releases negative thought patterns.

Bytownite
The yellow form of Labradorite. Placing Bytownite on the third eye opens and expands your awareness, clearing any blockages. Accessing the highest levels of consciousness, it facilitates visualisation and attunes you to higher wisdom. Bytownite detaches you from undue influence by others.
TRY THIS: RE-VISIONING THE PAST
In your journal write up one of the worst experiences of your life, how you felt and the negative thought patterns that have arisen from that. See if you can identify any positive gifts that you gained from the experience.
Then turn the situation around by going back to the start of the experience and, with the benefit of hindsight and the positive gifts or skills you learned, literally reframing it. See it turning out completely differently. Use the power of your mind to visualize it as one of the best experiences of your life. See yourself making all the right moves and decisions, and things going your way. Let yourself feel all the emotions of that re-visioning and bring that success into the present moment. Bask in how it feels to have re-visioned that situation, to have made it your own.
