Creating lesson...
1
and they were like visualization never works for us we keep falling asleep
2
because you need to take it slow hi everyone this is Manal Khalid
3
and i hope you're all doing fine in today's video i will teach you a very easy visualization technique
4
that will help you manifest whatever you want and so effortlessly
5
and very quickly okay so let's dive in visualization is basically an image
6
or a clip that you hold in your brain
7
and it's like you could kind of create something with your imagination
8
and that will eventually come in your future
9
because once your subconscious mind will see that you have a very clear
10
and vivid image in your head you will have no choice
11
but to bring your manifestation in your 3d in your reality
12
but you kind of put visualization on a pedestal
13
when it comes to manifesting your desires or something
14
that you consider it's a bit hard to manifest
15
but there is nothing hard it's all here it's all in your head all you have to do is visualize
16
and imagine i would say think of your life as a movie
17
and you are the director of your movie your life
18
and this way you would have the authority
19
because imagine director has the authority to choose what goes in the movie right
20
and you are the director of your life your movie
21
so you have the authority you have the power to decide
22
what goes in your life in your movie let me tell
23
you how many things i've manifested using this simple visualization technique
24
so i've manifested marriage with my sp i have manifested good grades i have manifested money
25
so the easiest way to visualize is to have a five second clip in your head
26
and to loop it over
27
and over again until you fall asleep you can do it
28
in the morning you can do it in the afternoon you can do it at night
29
but i personally like to do it before bed
30
so let me give you an example
31
so it will be easier for you to have this five
32
second clip in your head imagine your sp is coming towards you
33
and sitting on one knee and opening the box for you like the ring box
34
and that's it you don't have to visualize like a whole marriage scenario
35
or like anything like that you just to have a five second clip in your head
36
and loop it until you fall asleep let me give you
37
another example let's say you're trying to manifest money you are imagining
38
that you are opening your phone you are going in the banking app
39
and then you are seeing the amount
40
that you are trying to manifest let's say five thousand dollars ten thousand dollars whatever it is
41
and you see on the screen that amount in your bank account
42
and you loop the scene for like until you fall asleep
43
if you want to boost your visualization you can listen to a specific subliminal for the thing
44
that you're trying to manifest let's say you're trying to manifest
45
marriage with your sp you can listen to a proposal subliminal
46
and then visualize this five second clip or
47
if you're trying to manifest good grades i would suggest listening to a good grade subliminal
48
and to have this five second clip in your head
49
that your professor is giving you this mark sheet
50
and you have your desired result on that paper
51
and loop it until you fall asleep and it's
52
that simple visualization is not supposed to be hard i know neville goddard says
53
that you have to feel touch smell or whatever
54
but i have personally manifested so many things just by doing
55
that five second clip and loop it until i fall asleep
56
because i have manifested marriage with my sp i have manifested
57
money i have manifested the job i have manifested being monetized
58
on youtube i got monetized on youtube you guys like i was just visualizing it this five second clip
59
that youtube emailed me that i like congratulations you are now monetized
60
or you're eligible to earn money
61
and then it eventually happened like i i was blown away
62
because it was exactly just like my visualization
63
and then there was this other time when I was manifesting money
64
that someone owed me I was imagining in my head a
65
five second clip of this person like I received an email
66
that this person sent me money so the name of the person
67
and then dash sent you dash amount
68
and then I would also see in my banking app
69
that the name of the person and the money that they sent
70
so and then it happened like after three days or so
71
and that's it for today's video I hope after this video you guys won't say
72
that visualization is hard or it's like i can't visualize
73
because look i feel so sleepy today
74
but i still decided to do the video
75
because you guys have been requesting this one for so long
76
and we're complaining that we can't visualize
77
or we don't know how to do it but now stop complaining
78
and start visualizing and manifest your dream life okay because
79
if i did it you can do it too i hope
80
this video helped you in some way take care of yourselves
81
and i will see you guys in the next video i love you all bye

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
