Vibrations and Manifestations Podcast, Episode 28
“Visualization isn’t make-believe—it’s belief in the making.”
Introduction
When it comes to manifesting a better life, your imagination is more than a daydream generator—it’s a precision tool.
In Episode 28 of Vibrations and Manifestations, “Why Virtual Reality Makes Manifestation 10X More Powerful,” we explored two distinct yet complementary practices that help shape your future from the inside out:
- The Virtual Reality Game (from Abraham Hicks): a playful, emotion-driven method for lifting your vibration in the moment.
- The Creative Workshop: a structured, inner design studio where you mentally rehearse the version of yourself you want to become.
Each tool works in its own way—one for tuning your mood, the other for crafting your mindset. And both are backed by science and personal experience.
What is the Virtual Reality Game?
Alicia’s take:
“The VR Game is like emotional yoga. You stretch into a better feeling—not because something changed, but because you decided to focus there.”
The Virtual Reality Game, taught by Abraham Hicks, is a short, focused visualization where you:
- Choose a scene that feels good (e.g., a lakeside picnic or cozy fireplace)
- Pick a positive emotion to amplify (peace, joy, connection, excitement)
- Mentally express that emotion (“This feels amazing!”)
- Exit after 1–2 minutes
The goal? Shift your vibration, not your situation. It’s a fast, effective emotional reset.
“You’re not figuring anything out in the VR Game. You’re just tuning your vibe—quick, clean, no overthinking.” —Jared
What is the Creative Workshop?
Jared’s take:
“The Creative Workshop is rehearsal—not reaction. It’s where I go to mentally walk through my day like the version of me I want to show up as.”
The Creative Workshop is a longer, more structured visualization tool where you:
- Collect inspiration during the day (a feeling, a conversation, an object)
- Bring it into your mind’s eye during a quiet, dedicated time
- Design the scene: How you move, speak, look, and feel as your future self
- Rehearse the process, not just the outcome
Unlike the VR Game, which lifts your mood quickly, the Workshop helps you mentally embody your vision before it unfolds.
What the Science Says
These tools aren’t just spiritual theory—there’s real neuroscience behind them.
Mental Rehearsal = Real Brain Activation
- Vivid imagination activates the same brain circuits as real-life action (nucleus accumbens, ventromedial prefrontal cortex)
- Visualization primes your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to notice aligned opportunities in your environment
Process-Based Visualization Outperforms Fantasy
- Students using process-focused visualization scored 8 points higher than those using passive daydreaming
- Athletes use this method to improve performance
- Therapists use it to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation

Stories from the Workshop
Alicia’s Morning Reset:
“I started spiraling first thing. But I paused, and asked: What’s the best version of this day? And more importantly—what does it feel like? Within 10 minutes, I had shifted my energy, and the day started reflecting that version of me.”
Jared’s Boundary Breakthrough:
“Instead of people-pleasing, I rehearsed a calm, confident version of the interaction in my Creative Workshop. I pictured my body language, my voice, even my breath. When the moment came—it played out almost exactly as rehearsed.”
How to Use These Tools
Here’s how you can start today:
1. Use the Virtual Reality Game Daily
- Choose a positive scene
- Feel a chosen emotion fully
- Stay briefly, then exit
- Use it as a vibrational “tune-up” whenever you need a shift
2. Practice the Creative Workshop
- Set aside 15–20 minutes when you’re already feeling okay
- Bring in inspiration from your day (details, feelings, ideas)
- Imagine your whole self thriving: in health, relationships, clarity, and abundance
- Focus on the process as much as the result
3. Live Like You’re Rehearsing the Life You Want
- Start embodying the version of yourself from your workshop
- Speak, walk, and make decisions like them
- Let your inner blueprint become your external reality
“You’re not a historian documenting what went wrong. You’re an architect designing what’s next.” —Alicia
Final Thought
Visualization isn’t wishful thinking—it’s a biological and vibrational rehearsal for what’s next.
So today, we invite you to ask yourself:
What one specific, joyful detail will you add to your Creative Workshop?
“I design with joy. I create with purpose. I attract with clarity.”
