School is out, summertime is here, and the time to prepare for a fun vacation has arrived. Aside from all the obvious objective preparations such as mapping out the best route to your destination, making hotel reservations along the way, and highlighting all the special sites to see are the not so obvious subjective preparations of imagining your trip to be a great success.

Whether you're traveling alone, with a companion, or with your whole family, a great way to insure your desired vacation outcome is to enter a meditation and imagine fast forwarding through the trip and enjoying your vacation without a glitch.

"I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within."
Lillian Smith
Traveling Alone

  • Make your travel plans
  • Enter a meditation
  • Imagine enjoying your vacation as you desire and with the possibility of it being even better than expected.
  • Finish your imagery with you arriving home happy, healthy and energized, and sharing your vacation experiences with others.

Traveling with a companion

  • Make your travel plans
  • Enter a meditation with your companion or simply close your eyes together and do the imagery.
  • Imagine enjoying your vacation as you desire and with the possibility of it being even better than expected. Make your imagery clear and detailed.
  • Finish your imagery with the two of you arriving home happy, healthy and energized, and sharing your vacation experiences with others.

Traveling with the family

  • Make your travel plans
  • Form a circle with your family members, hold hands, and enter a meditation. Instead of a meditation you may simply close your eyes together and do the imagery.
  • Imagine enjoying your vacation as you desire and with the possibility of it being even better than expected. Make your imagery clear and detailed.
  • Finish your imagery with you and your family arriving home happy, healthy and energized, and sharing your vacation experiences with others.

This type of imagery is called programming and you can begin doing this programming as soon as you have finalized your travel plans. Make sure you include in your imagery such things as having plenty of fun, staying healthy, safety, rich learning experiences, and interacting harmoniously with each other throughout the entire trip. You may also include in your imagery any other special consideration in order to help insure a positive outcome for everyone.

Before programming, make sure you discuss with those traveling with you what you are about to do in the meditation or when you close your eyes. During the programming, allow each person or family member traveling with you to customize the programming by adding to the imagery.

Remember that thought precedes physical manifestation. You must first think of what you desire before it can manifest, and this includes enjoying a great vacation. Have fun!

"Laughter is an instant vacation."
Milton Berle
