I invited 20 participants, half from South Korea’s creative industry and half as a control group.
They were chosen based on their interest in affirmations and visualisation meditation. The
intervention kit contained instructions and a feedback form, which was sealed to avoid bias.
Participants were to return the paper after a week’s practice.

Page 2 Dear Dreamers,
We often rush through our daily routines, forgetting to take a moment for ourselves. But in the midst of this fast-paced world, have you ever considered the power of mindful relaxation?
Research suggests that taking a few moments each day to relax and reflect can significantly improve our physical health, mental well-being, and overall life satisfaction. But how can we incorporate this practice into our busy schedules?
We invite you to join us in a simple and meaningful exercise. It’s easy to follow, requires no special equipment, and can be done from the comfort of your own home, office, or any other quiet place. It’s all about finding comfort in your own body, focusing your mind, and visualizing your aspirations.
We promise it won’t take much of your time – just a few minutes a day can make a difference.
We are excited for you to join us and can’t wait to hear about your experiences.
Warm Regards,
Jung

5. Think about what you want to achieve. Visualize it in detail.
6. Pat your shoulder with a thankful heart and give yourself a compliment for doing well.

As you reflect on your process of visualisation over the past week, we’d like to ask you to answer a few questions.
1. Can you describe the process you use to form a mental image? Do you start with a specific detail, or do you see the image as a whole?
2. What role do your senses play in your ability to visualize images?
3. Do you notice if the images you create are influenced more by recent experiences or long-term memories?
4. How would you describe the clarity of your mental images? Are they vivid and detailed or more abstract and vague?
5. Did you experience any internal dialogue while visualizing? What was the language used during this process?
6. How do your emotional states affect the images you create? Do certain emotions enhance or reduce your ability to visualize?
7. How many days have you been practising this technique?
If you’ve encountered any difficulties, could you please share what they were?
These questions are intended to facilitate an understanding of individual differences in the process of visualisation and the nature of the mental images we create.
