She’s not lying!! I remember losing 40lbs in 5 months and the best way I got my drive was by visualizing myself in the body I wanted. That version of myself would coach me in my head through every exercise and She(Me) was the best coach ever.
I have a picture of Serena Williams under my pillow because that’s who I visualize my body to be like. Every night before I go to sleep and wakeup I stare at it. I take her face off and put my face on her body because I’m my mind that’s my body.
I needed to see this! @Rica B. This just confirmed what I’ve been experiencing recently. The version of myself in my head as been showing up and directing me too. She exists lol! Thank you for sharing!
PinkNightmares91 don’t over think it. It’s like daydreaming and watching a scary movie. Although you aren’t in the movie or scary situation, your brain still reacts as if it’s real (i.e., you feel the emotion of fear, your muscles might tense at the boogeyman on the screen, you might hold your breath when you see someone about to die in the movie, you feel relief and joy when you they finally catch the bad guy).
@@nieceypiecey100 Exactly - and then those amplifications of feelings (or vibrations) will draw to us what we are focussing on. Thinking + feeling + doing = our results. That's science ... energy in motion. Shame we're not taught this stuff at school.
Visualization is so powerful! In 2017 I envisioned the house that I wanted from the actual location to it having a balcony to it being a multi family home, to it being sun drenched a and having a walk in closet. Let me tell you, I got exactly that and more in 3/29/2018. I couldn’t believe that it worked and how quickly it manifested. To add to it, I did it as a single woman. A few months later I became pregnant with a baby boy I’ve always prayed for and I got married in 2019. I put all this on my dream board and all came to light. Visualization is powerful! I’m currently working on my next visualization 🙂
I was a member of her gym a couple of years back. Let me tell you, this woman is the TRUTH!!! She is soo invested in her gym and her vision to make people better 1 at a time. Her energy and spirit are amazing. Such a sweetheart!!! Well done Ashanti!! 🥰💪🏽
1. Quiet your mind as much as you can. 2. Pick an area in your life that you would like to visualize manifestating in your life right at this moment. 3. Clarify the energy you placed around your vision. a. If it's negative, visualization allows you to root that out. 4. Bring in as much detail to the manifestation of it happening. 5. Do this on a regular basis.
@@zeehuss7275 visualization intentionally done for even a min with emotions and most importantly visualization done in first person point of view is effective ....day dreaming tends to be time consuming and at times we aren't even aware when we started day dreaming
Thank you for clarifying@@ds3380Very true.. Through experience I know that we aren't aware we are daydreaming because we are not present, our mind is wandering and we can't feel our dreams. Contrary to visualisation where you are presnt and try to feel the things you're dreaming about.
Rarely do I comment on any of the material that I view on UA-cam, however I am compelled to express just how much listening to this talk resonated with me. I have been a meditator since the age of 13. From Meditation I evolved to the reading of metaphysics, Visualization, affirmations etc. I know with all my heart that what Ashanti speaks of is universal truth. I’m so happy to see someone who looks like me expressing and living the principles that are the very essence of me. Great job Ashanti and thank you. Continued blessings to you.
kai nick .... focus on your breathing. You will probably never completely quiet the noise but you can bring your attention back to your breathing. It’s perfectly normal to get distracted with thoughts. Complete the thought and then refocus on your breathing. The more you meditate you will find you will have fewer distracting thoughts. However, there will be times when things are on your mind... life happens... making it hard to focus. And that’s okay. Just know you can’t get meditation wrong. Also, there is an app called Insight Timer that has literally thousands of guided meditations, nature sounds and many more. Meditation doesn’t just mean sitting in silence. I hope this helps. Happy Meditation to you... Peace and Blessings
Arry Boi .... yes Arry. My Dad was into Transcendental Meditation and asked me if I want to take TM. I was 13 years old. Introducing me to meditation was the greatest gift my dad could ever give me. Peace & Blessings to you.
Amazing. This is the main reason why I started MTWTF "My Thoughts Will Transform my Future". It all stems from the power of the visions of the mind. What you think about most will eventually come to the present. This was a refreshing Tedx and I am glad I watched it.
Tony Vic I luv your acronym MTWTF 'My Thoughts Will Transform my Future' so beautiful and yet so very true (and the days of the week!) High vibes to you from the UK 😃
Joanne Campbell thank you 🙏🏽. “MTWTF” has been a powerful tool for me and yes a reminder daily that our thoughts create things and things creat actions. Thanks for the positive vibes from the UK. It’s well reserved over here in the states! Be blessed!
@@Alissaexplainsitall you should find all the TedTalks from that day!! OH MY GOODNESS every single one was amazing. TedxWillowCreek.... you are welcome in advance lol!!
I used to visualize as a child. My visions were so so clear, with dialogue and details and everything. And then I grew up. I haven't had a vision in many years.
"You're a creator. Creators must create". It's probably the main lesson taken from this. We can't be too passive and just let life pass by. We have to do that exercise taught in this video. Also, closing the eyes is a must while doing it, I believe that detail is where the magic starts
Thank you Ashanti, I am alive again. my dream as a little girl was to become a writer and an actor. I was gradually burying my dream and was dying with it. today, after your talk I feel alive again. I saw myself winning an award for my writing. what a beautiful moment I had. I will surely live to see my dream come true. Thank you so much. you are so amazing.
Yes, visualization is powerful. I have experienced it in some of my walks of life. As a representative of my present organization came to one of my former organization around 15 years ago for an interaction session, having talked about a lot of business, as soon as he left the place, having got impressed by the way how he presented the environment at his organization, i told my colleagues and friends, that I will be in this organization in my future. All of you may note it down that this will happen one day or other. You know what, now after 15 years, I am writing this sitting in that organization. So, i had visualized well enough to reach here and it took me here without even my plans or propositions. Its true that the power of visualization is immense.
This entire video gave me chills, I don’t know how I’ll get there, but I am absolutely certain that my dreams will come true, never give up, it’s never too late to start over
Visualization is indeed powerful, especially when it comes to goal setting. From my own personal experience, it's frustrating when I have all the tools to reach a goal but distractions and/or negative energy/self-doubt hinder my progress. It's natural for me to encourage OTHERS and push them to reach their full potential, but lately I have been reflecting on how to help MYSELF, how to better myself and create strategies to be more productive, balanced, and focused. It's not selfish, it's necessary. You can't give people water if your own well is empty. WAKE UP, FILL UP. WHAT FILLS YOU? I love this video because it gave me that time to understand not only what the consequences on my actions are but also who else it is affecting. "Bring in another person that benefits from your vision. That will make it more real for you." Questions that came to mind after watching this video: What is knowledge without application? What is physical health without mental health? What is faith? What does it mean to dream? Do you yourself believe your dreams can be realized? Do you have to motivation to seek out help? Are you able to express your needs clearly? Are you able to dream bigger than what's infront of you right now? With God, nothing is impossible. Blessings and good vibes to you Ashanti.
I was going to play your video for background noise while I focused my thoughts on something else, but I heard you say some of the most important things that I needed to hear today. I’m so glad you stepped out and went after your dreams. Thank you for your knowledge
I’m going to take the opportunity to get my hopes, and dreams instead of just getting disappointed with trying and setting things again. Hey call me when you get a chance and I’ll do my best to make sure that I’m not having any more setbacks or failure. I just found out that my message was not going to the place that It was intended . I just wanted y’all to give me a chance and then you can see me achieve my goals.
This woman is such a joy to even watch and listen to. She just radiates a positive feeling. Shes beautiful..but that happiness.. makes her absolutely stunning ♡
I can’t believe people would thumb down this video?! But one thing in life that will always be there are HATERS! ......that wanna see you fall😡.......Negativity from those HATERS are as apparent as the nose on your face! 🤥however, pay them no mind, because they will forever remain where they are currently, while genuine loving people soar! Awesome video! ❤️
true story. i visualized myself holding my baby after the doctors wanted to remove my uterus. i refused and i visualized myself holding a baby in the mirror for a while. WEll she is 6 years old now. If you can focus on healing your mind, you can get a real grip on it.
This is so excellent! Kudos to Ashanti Johnson! I am a yoga instructor and fitness professional. Stepping onto this arena, my tussle with doubt and fear has been a heckler. I literally identified my need to reconnect with my rituals a few days ago, and then I stumble upon this gem! When Ashanti says, "Place intention on your visions", it hit. I'm focusing on placing intention on my rituals. I have thus far, but with very abstract goals such as balance, wellness and endurance. But I was drifting off in thought one day after watching Lisa Nichols, and something said, "You have this gift". Once I shifted my perspective on my experiences in life, I realized that all of the colors of my past have been for the purpose to reveal the greatness of Self to others seeking healing and liberty. I have often dismissed my visions as too lofty before, but I really feel a breakthrough beyond my reservations. The message in this video has been confirmation. Thank you, Ashanti.
Today, I meditated the first time successfully. Till today, I never got rid of the monkey mind, but another tedx talk (it was about falling to sleep easier or something) helped me to quite my mind very easy. I've done it like this: 1.Sitting upright but comfortable. 2. Start tapping slightly on the knees/thighs in a constant rhythm in a speed a timer counter watch would tik. 3. While doing this also take deep breaths into the stomach. Concentrate on the breathing, and do this for 2-5 minutes. (optional): you also can force a big smile while doing this, this may help getting good feelings. 5. After a while doing so, start to lower the speed of your tapping ever so slightly, until you Stopp it all together and only focus on the breathing. With the decreasing of the tapping speed, you also decrease the conscious brain activity for some reason (in short, your brain loves to follow rhythm pattern, it gets hooked to it and "plays" in the same manner as the rhythm go, or something..) Now your conscious brain is in such a low activity pattern, that you will instandly be aware of how quiet it is inside your mind. From there on, concentrate on your breathing, you may will fall back to thinking things, but that's normal, just focus on the breathing again. As I said, with this technique, I was able to succeed the first time in doing meditation. If you have troubles like I did before, just try this out. It worked for me.
This was great!!! I speak, write and visualize my dream everyday while in the process of being prepared. One of my dreams is to do a tedtalk on a "transformed life" "I Am a highly sought after Spiritual Motivational Speaker and I speak at many women conferences all over" Thanks Ashanti for your testimony from one Chi town girl to another!💪💪
Really wonderful. I feel like I have been searching for this my entire life. What an awesome woman Ashanti Johnson is. Obviously she's incredibly powerful in so many ways yet she radiates out the love to her fellow humans and shares that reality so eloquently. My favorite Ted Talk of them all!
This was life changing. SO inspiring. I love seeing her passion, her gratitude in every step of the way. she deserves all of this and now shes on ted talk. bless you.
I just did that visualization. The emotion i just felt brought me so much joy. Like i wiggled my fingers and toes, opened my eyes and it felt so real tears filled my eyes. The emotion of joy in my visualization felt so real i feel like I've lived my vision. Like its already happened. The brain really doesn't know the difference. What an inspiration you are. Thank you for this!!
Thank you Ashanti! The visualization exercise really helped me transcend my perceived limitations and made me believe in achieving my dreams even more.
🤧Five minutes in and I can't stop crying!! I'm visualizing and have been for over a year and I'm just ready to let go and see this happen in my life. When said "deal!" I knew I was headed in the right direction. Thank you for sharing this and inspiring me to continue.🙏🏿💕
I’m going crazy because my phone was just trying to make sure that I was not getting through to my contact person I am going get through this message I just want you to know that I’m sorry but I don’t want to play games with you because I’m not sure what I am up against. You have to know what is obtainable and what is needed for me today to make sure it is mine.
This appears when I needed it. Tears streaming down my cheeks with a smile on my face. Amazing sister! Thank you 😊 for this much needed push - Namaste 🙏🏾
I grew up on the south side of Chicago on 72nd and south shore in the early 90's. I knew TerrorTown very well. The fact that you has a business other than a liquor store and it flourished is a testimony of God's greatness.
I listen to so many "Abraham Hicks" seminars but the idea of visualization and how it can lead to manifestation has never been so clear to me as after I listened to this amazing woman speak just now. This is beautiful and so powerful
Thank you that was very powerful and I’ve been trying to get my ex-husband to do the same thing because he is an amazing trainer but he does not believe in himself. I am in the middle of my masters thesis and going into my doctorate program for metaphysical science and I know that dreams can come true because I quit my job 15 years ago and I’ve been on my own doing Tantra massage healing and healing women from trauma and men and working with couples which is my passion. Thank you so much for this amazing video and I’m very proud of you
Very POWERFUL video ... She is everything ❣ I will watch this video on a regular basis and use her visualization techniques daily ... I am excited for change ... She is beautiful and is a God send ❣❣❣
I found this on a video about NLP (Neuro linguistic programming) that talks about why visualization works: Mirror Neurons are responsible for causing you to be able to salivate when you see someone eating a delicious meal. Your brain actually begins the process of digesting food that you are not even eating just by seeing the activity. As you dream bigger and bigger and allow yourself to be intentional about creating these visuals, your brain is releasing the chemicals and imagery that is necessary for you to fulfill those dreams.
I see myself sitting and driving my Bentley. I am not a materialistic person but I know the importance, the positive energy and good that money can give. And I visualize just abundance and wealth in my life. So I can be more happy and helping on making this world a better place.
She’s not lying!! I remember losing 40lbs in 5 months and the best way I got my drive was by visualizing myself in the body I wanted. That version of myself would coach me in my head through every exercise and She(Me) was the best coach ever.

This is amazing. The fact that I found this video after a meditation is nothing but a divine miracle!
The talk was INSANE. I am fully able to see my vision/goal becoming real I can feel the emotion, the energy. Thank You.
She’s definitely talking about one of the most important tools in life and in the LOA! Wonderful ❤️👏
I manifested all of my recording equipment by visualizing :)
congrats !!
This was life changing. SO inspiring. I love seeing her passion, her gratitude in every step of the way. she deserves all of this and now shes on ted talk. bless you.
I have the same dream and vision as you accomplished.. to own a gym. I cried and cried watching this video. Thank You for your testimony. 🙏🏾💪🏾💯
We LOVE you Ashanti!!! What an inspiration and what a beauty.
I just did that visualization. The emotion i just felt brought me so much joy. Like i wiggled my fingers and toes, opened my eyes and it felt so real tears filled my eyes. The emotion of joy in my visualization felt so real i feel like I've lived my vision. Like its already happened. The brain really doesn't know the difference. What an inspiration you are. Thank you for this!!
One of the most relatable speakers and powerful Ted Talks. How amazing is this woman!!
This talk is so refreshing. Thank you for such a confident delivery.
Thank you Ashanti! The visualization exercise really helped me transcend my perceived limitations and made me believe in achieving my dreams even more.
Her energy and positivity are contagious!
By far one of the best, most inspirational and relatable Ted talks I’ve seen this far! I SEE IT! Thank you
🤧Five minutes in and I can't stop crying!! I'm visualizing and have been for over a year and I'm just ready to let go and see this happen in my life. When said "deal!" I knew I was headed in the right direction. Thank you for sharing this and inspiring me to continue.🙏🏿💕
This woman is such a beautiful soul! We are all better for listening. 🙏🏾 blessings to her now and moving forward!
She got a tattoo of the Holy Deity of Hindus "Ganesh" on her hand❤😃... And she's also such a powerful speaker😊
I’m going crazy because my phone was just trying to make sure that I was not getting through to my contact person I am going get through this message I just want you to know that I’m sorry but I don’t want to play games with you because I’m not sure what I am up against. You have to know what is obtainable and what is needed for me today to make sure it is mine.
Is it get hand or arm
And i just noticed that rn
Watching this really brought tears of joy to my eyes. Thank you for sharing.
This appears when I needed it. Tears streaming down my cheeks with a smile on my face. Amazing sister! Thank you 😊 for this much needed push - Namaste 🙏🏾
I'm really truly so happy for sis and so blessed that she shared this truth with us !!!
Best ever. First time I’ve heard about the energy around the vision.
I grew up on the south side of Chicago on 72nd and south shore in the early 90's. I knew TerrorTown very well. The fact that you has a business other than a liquor store and it flourished is a testimony of God's greatness.
I listen to so many "Abraham Hicks" seminars but the idea of visualization and how it can lead to manifestation has never been so clear to me as after I listened to this amazing woman speak just now. This is beautiful and so powerful
Beautiful. I could feel my leg healing, my body transforming and my own home with the 'man' I fancy. Thank you.
Thank you that was very powerful and I’ve been trying to get my ex-husband to do the same thing because he is an amazing trainer but he does not believe in himself. I am in the middle of my masters thesis and going into my doctorate program for metaphysical science and I know that dreams can come true because I quit my job 15 years ago and I’ve been on my own doing Tantra massage healing and healing women from trauma and men and working with couples which is my passion. Thank you so much for this amazing video and I’m very proud of you
I'm half-way through that video and her story is giving me so much goosebumps. So powerful!
During the visualization I broke down in emotional tears with a feeling of such gratification . Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏
Very POWERFUL video ... She is everything ❣ I will watch this video on a regular basis and use her visualization techniques daily ... I am excited for change ... She is beautiful and is a God send ❣❣❣
Ashanti, you are radiant. Thank you for sharing your life with us, your personality bubbles from within you. I learned so much from you about myself.
My heart is so full after watching this video
💜 THANK YOU THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL!👏👏👏👏👏
Love hearing stories of individuals from where I am from. Very inspiring!
Just lovely! She is really inspirational
Ashanti Johnson Blessed me with this here!! I needed to hear this!!
I was crying after watcing this. All the possibilities are encircling in my mind and it felt so real. She's such an inspiring speaker❤
Love this, thank you! This is way more applicable and profound than many other TED talks. You've given me a new tool to live my life by xx
Ashanti! Goosebumps! I am really moved. I love your story!
Excellent communicator. She puts her points over really well in an inspirational way.
I found this on a video about NLP (Neuro linguistic programming) that talks about why visualization works:
Mirror Neurons are responsible for causing you to be able to salivate when you see someone eating a delicious meal. Your brain actually begins the process of digesting food that you are not even eating just by seeing the activity. As you dream bigger and bigger and allow yourself to be intentional about creating these visuals, your brain is releasing the chemicals and imagery that is necessary for you to fulfill those dreams.
Gosh I'm feeling so much energy watching these Ted talk.
She is so f**king pretty! Great talk!!!
She's very pretty
-3 points for the tattoo
,Wow! You are an unbelievable person! God bless you Ashanti!
Absolutely beautifully inspiring. Her imagination, visualization along with Her aligned practical tenacity. A beautiful Soul! Thank you for sharing.
I see myself sitting and driving my Bentley. I am not a materialistic person but I know the importance, the positive energy and good that money can give. And I visualize just abundance and wealth in my life. So I can be more happy and helping on making this world a better place.
Powerful. Visualisations are powerful tools to turn our dreams into realities. I know, because it has happened for me.
WOW I LITERALLY BURST INTO TEARS WHILE VISUALISING. APPRECIATE YOU, SENDING LOVE AND LIGHT
I will open that video again after I have achieved my dream that I have visualized it. Thankyou, I have just gotten the inspiration.
Awesomeness!!!! So Beautiful I cried while watching
Fantastic speech. Thank you Ashanti.
