when i am thinking of you

[crimson-revelation]

Void

A lot of you are extremely confused about this term.

Do you even know what it means?

Void = Empty.

It’s not a place you need to visit. It’s not some mystical portal. It’s pure nothingness.

You enter this state to lose all your identity—your beliefs, everything. You’re just fleeting. That’s void.

And no, it’s not something you need to lie in a starfish position and count to a hundred or whatever.

Yes, a hypnagogic state is helpful when trying to enter the void—but that’s not the only way. You enter the void by accident all the time. You know that moment when you zone out? No thoughts, no feelings, nothing, just staring into oblivion—that’s void.

It’s what you existed as before consciousness came into play. It’s the space on the computer before the title of the game or the source code existed.

Why do people say they manifested instantly after coming out of the void?

Because they reset their whole existence. Their old identity is nowhere to be found.

In the void, there are no contradictions. There are no limits. There is nothing.

You just exist, floating in the knowing that there is only you. Nothing else. No one else.

Why is the void referred to as limitless, silent, or dark?

Because that’s how our brain perceives creation—the beginning and the end.

It’s a space you deliberately create to get out of your own way.

In the void, the noise stops. Your doubts, your “what ifs,” your resistance—everything that blocks you—falls away.

It’s neutral. Empty. Waiting.

This is where your mind can finally be saturated with your instructions, your identity, your desires. Where old voices—critical, limiting, programmed from childhood—have no power.

The void doesn’t create. You do.

The void doesn’t manifest. You do.

The void simply clears the path.

Think of it like cleaning your workspace before building a machine. If your desk is cluttered, you can’t work efficiently. The void is the clean desk. You bring the blueprints, the tools, the materials—that’s where the magic happens.

It’s where you drown the old thoughts and repeat the new ones—your identity, your desires—until the world can’t help but match them.

Visualization of the Rubik's cube

[fairyminnie444]

Close your eyes and imagine a lemon 🍋

Now, imagine yourself cutting a lemon. Bring it close and take a bite. What do you feel? Is it sour? Did your face instinctively contort? Does it seem real?

This proves that you don’t need to believe something for your mind and body to experience it.

Now, do the same with your desire. Close your eyes and create a scene where your manifestation is already yours. How does it feel? What thoughts run through your mind? How do you act now that it’s real?

It’s done. It’s yours. Treat it like a memory. Return to this feeling whenever doubts arise.

If you can imagine it, you can have it.

Some of my favorite body references for how I visualize Levi.

(4th picture is a little too bicep-y, but is still nice to think about lol)

Bonus: some face

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: visualization that actually works (not just daydreaming) :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧

part 5 is here and we're talking about visualization! now, before you roll your eyes and think "oh great, more vision board nonsense," hear me out. effective visualization is SO much more than just imagining pretty scenarios in your head.

i used to think visualization was kind of woo-woo until i learned how athletes use it to improve performance. turns out, when done correctly, visualization actually changes your brain and primes you for success. pretty cool, right?

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ why most visualization doesn't work ⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

here's where most people go wrong with visualization:

⋄ they only focus on the end result ~ just imagining yourself having the thing, without visualizing the process of getting there ⋄ they don't engage their emotions ~ visualization without feeling is just daydreaming ⋄ they don't include challenges ~ only visualizing the good parts makes your brain unprepared for obstacles ⋄ they do it passively ~ effective visualization is active and detailed, not vague and dreamy

the goal isn't to escape reality guys!! it's to train your brain for the reality you want to create.

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ the science behind why it works ⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

okay, mini science lesson because i'm a nerd and this stuff is fascinating:

your brain can't really tell the difference between a vividly imagined experience and a real one. when you visualize something in detail, you're literally creating neural pathways as if you've already experienced it.

this is why athletes who visualize their performance alongside physical practice often outperform those who only do physical practice. their brains have already "experienced" success multiple times.

plus, visualization helps with something called the reticular activating system (RAS) basically, it helps your brain notice opportunities and resources that align with what you've been visualizing.

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ my visualization technique ⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

here's how i do visualization in a way that actually creates results:

step 1: get specific about the scene ~ not just "i have my dream job" but exactly where you are, what you're wearing, who you're with, what you're doing

step 2: engage all your senses ~ what do you see, hear, smell, feel, even taste? the more sensory details, the more real it feels to your brain

step 3: include the emotions ~ how does it FEEL to be living this reality? confident? grateful? excited? really lean into those emotions

step 4: visualize the process, not just the outcome ~ see yourself taking the actions that lead to your goal, handling challenges, growing through the journey

step 5: end with gratitude ~ thank your future self and the universe for this experience, as if it's already happened

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ my personal visualization story ⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

when i was applying to college, i spent time every day visualizing not just getting accepted, but the entire experience. i visualized walking around campus, sitting in lectures, studying in the library, even having challenging conversations with professors.

i didn't JUST see myself succeeding !! i visualized myself working hard, sometimes struggling, asking for help when i needed it, and growing through the challenges.

when i actually got to college, so many moments felt familiar because i'd already "experienced" them in my visualizations. it made the transition smoother and helped me feel more confident navigating new situations.

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ different types of visualization ⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

outcome visualization ~ seeing yourself having achieved your goal process visualization ~ seeing yourself taking the steps to achieve your goal obstacle visualization ~ seeing yourself successfully handling challenges that might come up identity visualization ~ seeing yourself as the type of person who naturally has/does/is what you want

i like to rotate between these different types depending on what i need. if i'm feeling unmotivated, outcome visualization helps. if i'm feeling overwhelmed, process visualization breaks things down.

⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆ making visualization a habit ⋆｡‧˚ʚ♡ɞ˚‧｡⋆

the key is consistency, not perfection. i do 5-10 minutes of visualization almost every morning, usually right after i wake up when my brain is still in that dreamy, receptive state.

some days my visualizations are super vivid and emotional. other days my mind wanders and it feels kind of meh. both are fine! the important thing is showing up consistently.

your visualization homework: pick one goal and spend 5 minutes every day this week visualizing it using the technique i outlined above. notice what comes up for you excitement, resistance, new ideas, whatever. all of it is valuable information.
