Of all the questions I'm asked on a daily basis, this one has been an evergreen favourite for as long as I can remember:
"What exactly is a visualization, and how do I do it right?"
My dear friend, if you've ever experienced a daydream, you already know how to visualize. Watch this video for a full explanation:

My name is Burt Goldman. I’m one of those “lucky people” who discovered a secret early in life. For the last 50 years, I have been traveling the world and meeting and studying spiritual masters from every inch of our planet. Now, at the age of 82, I'm ready to share with the world what I have learned. I started this blog to be able to share with you my most valuable teachings and insights I have gained over the past few decades. Here, you'll find plenty of valuable information on meditation, energy healing, spirituality, and my latest revelation, Quantum Jumping. I look forward to connecting with you and I sincerely hope you enjoy being a part of this blog.
Dear Burt, My dear friend,may I firstly say happy New Year to you and yours.
Thank you so much for this very helpful video and all of the others that you do. I love listening to them, they are so very helpful.
Much love and many blessings, Diana xxx
P.S Please may I be kept on the list for receiving the videos.
Hi Burt,
Thans for sharing this with us. I am one of those who are auditory. For the longest time I thought I was doing something wrong when I took the Silva classes until years later one of Jose Silva's closest assistants told that Jose himself did,'t see pictures like most do he just knew it was there in his mediataions and this is what I do in mine too. I felt much better after I was told it's alright to do it this way.
Thanks Again,
Ron Daack From Virginia
Dear Burt, THIS WAS SO HELPFUL. SO CLEAR!! THANK YOU. R
Dear Burt, You always nail it : just when I need inspiration you have a video that I need in the moment to keep me going- I'm writing my autobiography and the visualization Wow, yes, the way you so patiently teach- Wow you make my life simple and fun. What a great help you are I'm so luck to know you. Hope to meet you in the future. Thank you Burt.
Burt, please add me to your weekly video list.
Thank you Thomas
As one who is using visualization and energy healing techniques - many which I have learned from Burt, Ken Coscia, Laura Silva and others over the years - to overcome mesothelioma, I am so very grateful for the contribution that Burt (and others like him) are making to humankind and to the healing of the planet.
To Mr. Goldman and Alexandra {:-) Although I am still having a problem with my sound, I am glad that I found YOUTUBE and the great videos since at least 2 years ago. I came to the conclusion that the problem is with my speakers?? (I hope), not with the Sound Card and am planning to buy good ones, as the set I have has always had poor sound, as it is a cheap one. The only problem is that since I no longer drive and live "ganz allein"(totally alone) and also am new to the area, I have to get in touch with an acquantaince who can take me to an electronic store at his/her best convenience. But I am happy that I will be able to get a lot of information Love and blessings to you all. Marina Ellis (Halymar).
I have been diagnosed with a serious health problem and am using Quantum Jumping to access my healthy counterpart. I'm using Quantum Jumping II and feel some better already. I don't want to doubt this and pull the problem back to me again by over-thinking it. Just wanted to ccnnect with you and say thank you for all the work you have done in developing yourself and sharing with everyone so freely.
Burt,
Too many parents shun "daydreamers". Instead of putting down it would be more constructive to teach children: How to control day dreaming and not let themselves be driven without direction.
You provide an opportunity to those who, later in their life (after age 20 or so), find themselves daydreaming in an attempt to escape stresses of all kinds, or planning for the future . . . or falling pray to madness. As far as I am concerned, you are not crazy, your are right on the path. Thank you.
Live long and prosper
Robert
I am so looking forward to this offer. I am enjoying your healing program immensely. It is amazing the power you have to guide people and help them so very much. Thank you again. Can't wait to get started.

Hello Burt,
Thanks to the changes of my routine which favourable to me to visit your blog.
Your input is very interesting which brings back to my series of experience back 20 years abo when I I just neophytes practicing my career in remote part of my country. I remember everytime I pray an image flashes into my mind, seing myself in a big city, the capital of my country practicing my profession. It just happened flashing without me intending it especially during my prayer in silence. Few years later, I found myself teaching in one of the universities in that big city. The same thing happened from time to time durign my prayer I saw myself in foreign land practicing my career. Several years later I found myself in Canada.During these occasions I don't have any desire to go abroad, like no desire to go to big city to practice my career but I just found myself there several years later.
Thus, it made me realize being scared to think of something bad for it might happened.
In line with your knowledge on visualization, how would yuou classify my experience? I don't intend to visulaize it, it just flash in my mind. I will appreciate if you can help me understand this. This is still happening to me now but not in a dramatic way.
Thanks again for sharing your wisdom.
I daydream all the time. I'm also one of those people who can change my night dream to what I feel is a better direction for me if I don't like the direction it's taking. I can control my night dreams, in other words. I don't know anyone else who can do this, and I never knew there was a word for it -- lucid dreaming.
You always have a way of bringing me new knowledge. Thank you so much, Burt, for all you do!
With blessings of Loving Oneness
hey wats the diff between singing and screaming a note i no there is but everytime i go for a jigh note it sounds like im screaming
Hi Burt,
I am very grateful that you mentioned talking to yourself during visualization if your auditory sense is strong. I am a singer and songwriter and I've had great results with writing my desires into short repetitive songs that I sing while walking, driving or doing chores around the house. Since I feel great joy while singing, I think it's easy for me to put a lot of positive energy into this way of "visualizing" my dreams.
Thank you for your generous and loving attitude -- I sure appreciate you!
Hi,dear Burt, I've been using the Mind Box .I'd like to ask (1) if I can drink the 'energized water' apart from cleansing purposes ? (2) a the Daisy Pond Med.audio, I was strongly impressed by that specific recording version from free lesson 1!!CAN I HAVE THIS ONE SENT TO MY E-MAIL AGAIN ? PLS.) instead of that one in the Mind Box (frankly, I don't like this version ) Moreover,it's better to have the whole original Med.ex. to be included in the 26 techniques summary instead of explanation of Daisy Pond self-extension !I think it will be more convenient for the user ! Thank U for your wonderful Mind Box !!!
Finally ,I'd like to know your belief about your God ,are your a believer of Christ ,about salvation or any god specified or non-specified ? Thank U for your reply ,Burt ! Emmanuel !
Gown Wind Link
Thanks Burt! Your techniques are absolutely wonderful! I enjoy using them daily.
Burt,
Which of your products is better; The Mind Box or Quantum Jumping? Are lessons from Quantum Jumping included in the Mind Box? Or does Quantum Jumping include many of the ideas from Mind Box? Both products seem to offer the ability to consistently accomplish any goal, master any skill, and manifest endless abundance, health and happiness. Which one should I choose?
I believe that visualization as you have stated can be a very powerful healing gift. The ability to perceive,to understand,to conceive,it is a wonderful intuition that we have the ability to use.
I enjoy to hear what you have to say about it. When you are within a visualization the powers are great and you can find good answers to problems.
For many years now I have had a place that I can go to to ask and find answers for my problems. I visualize going to this place and asking others there, some are healers, some understand human nature and how to deal with it, some are helpful in the ares of love and relationships. Just today I used it. I have been finding out that I have been supplying my grand daughter with medicine that she needs. I consulted with the higher ones and decided it is the best thing to do and not to be the other kind of person that has the means but would not supply it to her.
I hope that others that you work with could realize the benefits of being able to visualize.
Lawrence
Hi Burt,
Thanks for helping me ease through towards my dreams, truly, visualization is one of the key in achieving my life's goal, so as not to lost track of it also.
Praise to your continued guidance!
Hazel
Hi Burt
Thank you for this video about visualization. It is a tremendous help and makes it easy. The only question left is how to visualize something when only its attributes are known, but not what it exactly looks like? For example the kind of profession/job or the life partner that one wants to attract?
Thanks again.
Kordula
Burt,
thank you so much. You hoped this could be of some help. It has been of immense help both on a personal level and in my work - I'm a hypnotherapist.
To have this explained so well is great. And lovely to see you too rather than just hear you.
I used to be a real daydreamer but as an adult I had got so obsessed with not being able to 'see' when trying to visualise that I'd almost given up.
So, Burt thanks again.
Hope you're well. Keep safe,
Love Maggie.
i liked your video burt,i learned many years ago,that whatever we imagine,or visualize,already exists,all we have to do is enter the image,and make it alive.there is an unlimited number of states of consciousness to choose from.the problemm is,we do not consciouslychoose the states we find ouselves in,we get lost in these states,until we raise our consciousness to create a new state,better than the one we were in.this is how we work to reach the god conscious state.sri paul twitchell wrote a book called the tiger's fang,which is paul's journeys through the worlds of god.many teachers have mapped out these higher planes for others to follow.burt i enjoyed your audios of quantum jumping,great work!
Hi Burt Thank you very much for sharing this be happy barbarapennington
Thanks this clear up some things for me!!
Kenneth
Burt, as you were healing with the scarff technque I observed between passings you were stroking the scarff. Were you energizing the scarff? I ask these questions to the unaware folks because I employ various healing techinques I have learned from Burt. One does not have to fully understand everything but merely emulate what you see in order to acomplish the same results.
Christ Didymus Thomas
Thank you Burt. I use your techniques in healing and would like to know more about the scarf technique. I tried it today with some success but not as much as yours.
Thank you for the instruction.
Thomas
Burt,
I used to receive your emails since long time, but never gave it attention till I got introduced to the 'law of attraction'theory.
And now I start to open your emails everytime i received them. Infact, I added you to my facebook friends list.
You rock Burt, keep it up and I will work on my attitude

To Romeo,
Some believe that that short term memory deteriorates with age. However when you are are young you have only yourself to think about, as we get older and have families and responsibilities so comes worry, maybe things like remebering songs are not so important. I always think of the mind/brain like a garage, things that are not so important any more get pushed to the back collecting dust, they are still there but take a little more time time and effort to recover.
As for worry, Burt's techniqniques have helped me tremendously. the one thing I've definitely given up worrying about is whether my brain is deteriorating, ( my father had Altzeimers, by the way). I am finally, at 50 living my life BEING ME! Thankyou Burt
Love Josie
hi burt;
thank you so much for your wonderful information.
caroline
Thank you. I have enjoyed listenning.
carlos
Burt, I wonder if most folks realize what valuable information you are supplying and the quality of the instructor. To those that are not as familiar with Burt as I am, Let me assure you, you would be hard pressed to find a better teacher anywhere. I have spent many years researching the subjects Burt is teaching and I haven't found a better instructor anywhere. I believe American Master is a better title than American Monk. But what do I know?
Thomas
Thank you Burt, you make it smooth & easy for us to understand & duplicate. I really appreciate the part about changing a nightmare to a daydream with a great outcome.
Love,
Kath
Dear Burt
Thank you for clarifying the process of visualization especially the "day dreaming" wording for young children. I love all your work and look forward to meeting you someday.

Hi Burt,
Thanks alot once again.and a very happy new year to you and to all the people who are living or trying to live their lives to the fullest.

Hello Burt! Imagination visualisation is like designing your own thoughts. My challenge is to make it happen once I think it.....is there an incubation period for the thought to become real?
My dearest Burt, Ever since I can remember I have been a daydreamer. ALL of my report cards in school, the teachers would request of my parents to have big talks with me about my constant daydreaming in class. I even had bosses that told me that there were moments when I would be daydreaming during my work hours. I even have vivid dreams during my sleep. They are so real, it actually seems that I am really there. My dreams have helped me during troubled times. Even my boyfriend tells me that I speak in different languages, Languages I know nothing about during my waking hours. And one night he could have sworn that I was speaking in Hebrew. Amazing at that, if only for a moment. I want to tape record my night conversations. It is something that truly does amaze me. A couple of weeks ago you were talking about parallel universes and quantum leaping or jumping. I truly believe in that. I have had questions answered that way. I also believe in the Celestine Prophecy, and the ways coincidense works. Like, I will be thinking of a friend and at that moment, that very person will either call or pull up in front of my house. I am also a sensitive. And I believe good things are yet to come. But one thing, I have not been a very good student. I have been so busy and I have saved all of your mailings but have not had very much time to read most of them, I am so sorry for that. But at the moment, I am writing a cookbook for my family of my collection of recipes, and at the age of 53, I have collected and tried so very many, as well as the recipes that my children grew up on. Now they are in their early thirties. With wonderful lives of their own. I have 3 grandsons. and they are fantastic kids. I was a single parent. And I raised 2 productive persons that I can be proud of. And it is the greatest thing when my son can actually say that, even when we were at our poorest, it was the best time of his life. Well my friend, I must get off here. I just got out of the hospital a little while ago after spending 12 hours there. Having a little problem with my heart. But I am OK now. Have a very good night...Cheryl
Wonderfull Burt... Thank you for what you do...Keep Dreaming your Life !!!!
Hello burt. I really got a lot out of this one, because I'm blind and visualize things inside my head all the time. I'm also so glad you spoke about how important it is to input all 5 senses. Now, even though I'm unable to see physically, I can still form mental pictures in my mind about the shapes of things or "play" movies in my mind where the "scenes" open themselves up to me. Like you said, and this is pretty the same as day dreaming. I don't have to "look" very far to rekindle those "movies of the mind". When, however, I find myself in a new or unfamiliar place, or if I'm picturing radiation beams going exactly where they need to go and weakening my Trigeminal Neuralgia, In this way, only I can "see" what I hope is actually taking place inside my head, and, low and behold, I do notice the twitching becomes less apparent, and I just might make it one day at a time. I also know a lot of cancer patients who receive immunotherapy also picture those living white blood cells going over there and make every effort to destroy the bad cells, while, at the same time, protecting the healthier cells. We may not fully understand this, but I actually like it that way. I also know that God is in charge. this is a great topic. I hope you'll visit it with us more often, because it really helps us create a little bit of that "peace which surpasses all understanding." Thank you so much.
how strong do you need your visualization to be in order to receive it.I find that I can see my car that I want for a second clearly, then it gets bury.
Burt thank you so very much for this simplifying and demystifying Visualization. I love the KISS approach to everything...GOD bless you JB
"Thank You" Burt (-:
thanks,i have had different strengths and its hard for me to visualize a full picture lie i can visuallize a table then i casn put a cup or somthing on the table but it takes time for me to put a room around that table maybe i just need to be deeper in meditation when i want bigger pictures..
and somthing about lucid dreaming,well lucid dreaming is one of the reasons i searched for chi development meditations and thats when i stumbled on your site
do you know how to lucid dream? because for some odd reason i suprise my self right before im about to go to sleep,like you know when your at that point where u hear noises as if they were near you like music or other sounds but there only in your mind,thats when your supposed to tell your self your about to dream because lucid dreaming is knowing that your dreaming while your dreaming, allowing you to controll your dreams and mind at the highest level of relaxation..well when i hear those noises i kinda say wow im about to go to sleep,but i dont just tell my self its like those times when somthing suprises you and u get that electric felling running down your body,thats what happens when i relize im about to sleep and i dont know how to not startle myself...
thanks again(for reading this long comment also)
and i hope u continue to get better and better and live untill your desired age comes
HAPPY THOUGHTS!
Thank you thank you so very much....this has been my concern really.. and what you said enlightened me. Now I won't be worried whether I'm doing it rightly or wrongly...I know I am doing it right.
Be blessed.
Burt, you do a great work! May God bless you for the enlightenment you bring to us all. Peace!
Dear Burt: All your teachings are wonderful and I will appreiate all my life that you havnt live me alone, because i know thsat you know I need your teachings and your knowledge.
About vizualizing I think I lknow how to do it, but I have never done it, from now on Im going to start doing it, im just going to follow your instructions to see if my money situation and all my problems improve, and im sure they are going to improve.
Thank you, thank you very much for the knowledge you transmitted to everybody that comes in contact with you.
God bless you always, ADITA
Hi Burt
You look great! What a blessing to hear you clarify visualization. Thank you It was and is very helpful.

Dear Burt,
I'm so happy. You are such a helpful man.
Thank You - I send Love and Light to you, my friend.
When I was young my friends called me the songs book, when any they want to know the title of a song or wants to hear a certain song they ask me. I had this talent that when I hear a song once or twice I could sing it back and still remember it years later. But I can't do it now? Does old age make you lost it?
Dear Burt,
Thank you for such a clear explanation of visualization. It will provide the confidence needed to instill a greater belief that your goals can indeed become a reality.
Jeannette
Hi Burt
Thank you for all your guidance and insight
Thank you - your "How to Visualize" piece is very helpful and reminded me of something a friend told me once about a goal she had - an intention she had - and how it worked for her. Thank you for all you do and for taking the time to share. Namaste, Les
dear Burt
Thank you so much for the day dreaming visualization. I am a silva graduate for over 15 years and I have been wondering if I am doing it right or wrong all these years. Now Iam confident that you put me on the right track.
Thank you so much.
Regards
Dr Musa
Dear Burt,
Visualization is IT-tech amalgamation, based on our left-brain-centered reactive mind's database. I'd tried (duplicating this secular priest's spiritual learning) for decades and found life only involuting reptile metahabitual duplications fluctuating up and down on lower celestial sphere (primordial Adam's metapolarity still stumbling).
Later, 1989, I came across a regular mentor of true vision who helped me get my Adam's polarity ressurrected, to start living macro-view nanomutation on UPOL sharing co-manifestation overriding and encompassing left brain's creative manimation and hunting, holding, hoarding, vying, fighting battling animation.
Since then, everything is simple. See Metaphysical Living Capitalization: http://macsoft.gaia.com/
Dear Burt,
Thanks a lot for this informative video...
As usual you do wonders with your marvelous expression..
Thank you Burt..You are GREAT!!
sune
Hi Burt
That was very helpful indeed !!!
Thank you very much
Dear Burt,
I think this will help, too. But, I used to be a great reader and would usually make "my film" based on the pages I liked. And, being a teacher, I try to point out the importance and advantages of reading over watching feature films to my students.
What makes a lot of difficulties to me is "bright light light" from one of your meditations. I have tried it hundreds of times, only one of them really successful.
Best regards,
ljerka
Dear Burt,
Thanks for the help that you have been so kindly given to me, I will try and practice this.
Kind Regards
Susan
Hi Burt, you're a GREAT man. Thank you.
As a well versed daydreamer, I enjoyed the video very much. You are pretty good at explaining principles that can be made confusing.
I have just started a blog on alternative healing and wonder whether you feel visualization is a great tool to perform for self healing?
Dear Burt, thanks again for the extra help. I think the example of visualizing a car using all your senses helped to simplify the idea and was very helpful. Yours.
Hi,
Thank you for your insight. I also enjoyed your quantum jumping lessons very much eventhough I have not had much succees doing it. Maybe, I'll have more success in future, but I do enjoy your e mails. Thank you for your time and sfforts.
Sev
I have one question regarding visualization. If you have 4-5 manifestations you are working on, do you visualize each one in one meditation setting? How many times do you keep doing this? Every day?
Hi Burt thank you again. As usual you explain things we do know but you have a great gift for making them even clearer and thanks for the different hints.
