What Is This Application?
This application teaches you to use Neville Goddard's core idea that imagination creates reality by assuming the feeling of perfect health now. You intentionally live from the end-state of wellness in your imagination, allowing the felt sense of vitality to reprogram your subconscious and influence body, behavior, and perception.
Core Techniques
- Assume the State Without Denying Symptoms: When a symptom arises, pause, breathe, and acknowledge the body without arguing; then deliberately imagine the opposite reality as if true, focusing on the relaxed, grateful feeling of being well for 3-5 minutes
- Nightly Imaginal Scene for Clean Results and Vitality: Before sleep, create a short, sensory scene where you receive a clear test result or complete a day full of energy (see the lab tech smiling, hear the words, feel the pulse of vitality); feel the relief and joy as if it already happened and hold that feeling until sleep
- Revision for Past Diagnoses: Re-enter the memory of the diagnosis and mentally rewrite it so the outcome is healthy and peaceful, replaying the revised scene with dominant feeling until it feels natural; repeat daily until the emotional charge softens
- Mental Diet and Sensation Management: Monitor inner dialogue and immediately replace worry or symptom-focused thoughts with specific, embodied sentences like 'I am whole and energized'; treat body sensations as data to observe, not beliefs to dwell in, and anchor new sensations by feeling how health looks and feels in your imagination
Quick Methods to Start Today
- Ten-minute Night Scene: Lie down, close eyes, and imagine a brief, vivid scene of receiving excellent lab results or enjoying a full day of energy; amplify the feeling of relief and gratitude and fall asleep from that state
- The Felt-Sense Pause: When you notice a symptom or anxious thought, stop for 30 seconds, name the sensation neutrally, then assume the opposite feeling (calm, light, capable) and breathe into it until it steadies you
- Revision Micro-Journal: Each evening write one short revision sentence about a health scare or bad test (for example, 'The doctor smiled and said everything is fine') and read it while feeling the result as true, keeping the mental diet strong the next day by immediately swapping any fearful thought with that felt sentence
Key Insights
- Feeling is the engine: the imaginal act matters most when you truly feel the health you desire; intellectual affirmation alone has limited power
- Assuming wellness does not deny symptoms; it redirects attention from illness identity to the lived reality of health, which reduces resistance and reshapes subconscious expectation
- Revision can soften and transform the emotional impact of a past diagnosis, but it is a complement - not a replacement - to appropriate medical care; always follow professional advice while doing inner work
- Consistent mental diet matters more than occasional visualizations; small daily corrections of thought and feeling compound into new habits and choices that support physical change, including losing belly fat
- Be specific and sensory in scenes (sight, sound, touch, emotion); the more concrete the imaginal evidence and the stronger the embodied feeling, the quicker your subconscious accepts the new reality
Biblical Foundation
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
Mark 11:24
Neville's interpretation:
Prayer is not pleading but the controlled assumption. To manifest health you must assume the inner state of already being well and hold that state with faith as if it is accomplished.
“My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
Proverbs 4:20-22
Neville's interpretation:
The words and images you feed the mind become life and health. Attention and continuance of a healing inner word create the living reality in the body.
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5
Neville's interpretation:
Healing is a promise realized in consciousness. Accept the healed state as fact by imagining the fulfillment, and the body responds to the accepted assumption.
Step-by-Step Practice Method
- Clarify the specific health goal. Move from vague aims like 'be healthier' to a precise end: for example, 'My belly fat is gone and I have a flat, toned midsection that fits my clothes comfortably.' Be concrete about sensations, measurements, or activities you want to perform
- Prepare the inner scene. Create a brief, plausible scene that implies your desire is fulfilled and can be experienced now. Example scene: you buttoning your favorite jeans easily, feeling a smooth, firm abdomen, noticing the lightness and energy in your movements
- Set up daily SATS practice (State Akin to Sleep). At night or during a quiet daytime moment, relax until drowsy but still aware, then run your chosen scene as a short movie in the first person and present tense. Include sensory details: the texture of fabric, the way your stomach feels, your breathing pattern, temperature, and subtle joy in your chest
- Evoke feeling and accept it. The primary work is feeling the reality of the scene. Cultivate the emotional conviction 'I am already that person.' Do not attempt to force a mental image; allow it to come and then deepen the feeling of accomplishment and gratitude for the healed state
- Use short, active 'I am' phrases during the day to support the assumption: for example, 'I am fit and light at my core' or 'My body settles into its ideal shape.' Keep them in present tense and attach them to the imagined feeling rather than to outcomes like weight numbers
- Mental diet and revision. Monitor your inner conversation and gently correct contrary thoughts when they appear. If you catch self-talk like 'I always gain weight', immediately revise the thought by recalling the evening scene or by mentally rewriting an earlier moment in the day in which you acted from the fulfilled state. Use 'revision' at night to alter any daytime moments of worry into scenes consistent with the new health
- Physical cooperation, not desperation. Continue practical health measures that feel natural and inspired from your assumed state: choose foods that support your image of health, move in ways that express energy, sleep well. These actions are done from a place of 'alreadyness' rather than struggling to fix a problem
- Persistence and nonresistance. Carry your assumption throughout the day with quiet confidence. When evidence to the contrary appears, do not argue with it. Return to the scene, feel the state, and persist. Neville emphasized living in the end until external circumstances conform
- Track small measurable markers. For goal areas like losing belly fat, take baseline measures (waist measurement, photos, how clothes fit) and revisit them weekly. Use these as feedback, not as masters. Continue SATS and revision until the physical evidence aligns
- Graduation and consolidation. When you see signs of change, deepen the identity shift: think and act as the person with ideal health. Anchor the new state with rituals that evoke the feeling, such as a short visualization before meals or a two-minute SATS when waking
Real-World Applications
Example:
❌ Wrong way:
Obsessively logging calories, giving up when the scale stalls, and repeating 'I cannot lose this belly' which reinforces the problem. This fails because it feeds the imagination with defeat and creates resistance to the assumed healed state
✅ Right way:
Define the exact end like 'I wear size 32 jeans comfortably with a flat belly.' Each night run a scene of getting dressed easily, feeling a toned midsection, and stepping out confidently. Use short daytime affirmations 'I am lean at my core' and make food and movement choices from that identity. Over weeks physical habits align with inner assumption and belly measurements decrease because the imagination directed behavior consistently
Example:
❌ Wrong way:
Focusing on symptoms, researching every supplement, and repeating 'I am always tired' which keeps attention on lack. This approach magnifies the symptom and creates a mental identity of fatigue
✅ Right way:
Create an imaginative scene of waking refreshed, enjoying a morning stretch, and completing tasks with ease. Practice SATS imagining the sensation of alertness and warmth in the body. During the day, when fatigue appears, do a brief revision by recalling the morning energized scene. Pair this with gentle, inspired movement that feels natural to the new identity. Over time energy increases because the subconscious accepts the repeated, felt assumption of vitality
Example:
❌ Wrong way:
Avoiding all training and constantly telling oneself 'what if I get injured again', leading to muscle loss and reduced resilience. This failure comes from living in the fear and rehearsing limitation
✅ Right way:
Imagine a scene of running comfortably at the desired pace, feeling the hamstring strong, noticing a steady breath and smiling at the ease. Use SATS to imprint the scene, then begin short, safe runs that express the assumed healed state. Each small success is mentally recorded as evidence. Confidence rebuilds, tissue strength improves through inspired, consistent action aligned with the assumption
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Mistake: Confusing visualizing with hoping. Many picture the desired result without feeling it. How to avoid: Focus on the emotional conviction and bodily sensation of the fulfilled state, not just pictorial detail
- Mistake: Being vague about the desire. Vague goals like 'be healthy' produce vague results. How to avoid: Specify symptoms to change, activities to perform, or how you will feel and what clothes will fit
- Mistake: Trying to force results through willpower alone. This creates tension and resistance. How to avoid: Relax into SATS, accept the scene calmly, and allow feeling to do the work while you take inspired, joyful actions
- Mistake: Letting daily setbacks reset belief. One bad meal or a low-energy day causes discouragement. How to avoid: Use revision and return to the imagined end immediately; treat setbacks as temporary and irrelevant to the assumed finished state
- Mistake: Overintellectualizing Neville's method and neglecting repetition. Reading about technique without daily practice stalls progress. How to avoid: Commit to short, daily SATS sessions and concise daytime reinforcements, even five minutes daily
- Mistake: Expecting instant physical change without behavioral alignment. Some hope for miraculous instantaneous fixes while continuing contradicting habits. How to avoid: Pair the inner assumption with consistent, reasonable physical choices made from the 'already' identity rather than from deprivation or fear
Advanced Techniques
- Layered SATS with sensory anchoring. After mastering basic SATS, run the scene multiple times focusing on different senses each pass: first pass emphasize proprioception and core firmness, second pass emphasize breath rhythm and temperature, third pass emphasize joyful movement. At the end of the sequence, anchor the feeling with a subtle physical cue like pressing thumb and forefinger together. Use the anchor during the day to re-trigger the assumed state
- Nightly revision of the day plus future memory building. At bedtime, review any moments that felt contrary and mentally rewrite them as you wish they had occurred, then immediately follow with a scene from the future as if the healing is complete. This builds a chronological bridge in consciousness so the subconscious accepts the healed future as past memory, accelerating embodiment
- Subconscious reprogramming using short, repeated micro-scenes. For experienced practitioners, scatter three 30-second micro-scenes through the day tied to routine cues (after brushing teeth, before meals, walking to the car). These micro-scenes are single sensory impressions that reinforce the larger nightly scene and rapidly condition habit through repetition
Signs of Progress
- Increased spontaneous 'I am' identity shifts such as feeling 'I am light and energetic' without forcing it.
- Decreased inner dialogue about the problem and fewer intrusive 'I cannot' or 'what if' thoughts; instead you notice 'that thought passed' as a neutral event.
- Improved mood, sleep quality, and appetite regulation consistent with the imagined state.
- Objective measurements moving: waist circumference, fitting into a desired clothing size, improved resting heart rate, or better lab markers when applicable.
- Consistent behavioral changes that feel natural rather than forced, e.g., choosing nourishing meals effortlessly, enjoying regular activity, or returning to training with confidence.
- Small confirmations appearing: compliments from others, being able to perform tasks previously difficult, or reductions in pain or symptom frequency.
- A spontaneous sense of gratitude or relief that arises when thinking of your body, signaling internal acceptance.
- The presence of calm expectation instead of anxious striving, expressed as the quiet thought 'it is done' or 'this is my new normal'.
Can revision help transform a past diagnosis or health scare?
Yes-Neville's revision technique lets you rewrite the memory imaginatively so it no longer triggers fear; each night replay the event as you wish it had unfolded, feel contentment, and mentally file the corrected version. Doing this persistently neutralizes the emotional charge that attracts repetition and supports new outcomes, though you should continue necessary medical care and lean on Hebrews 11 about faith as the operative power when doubt or grief arise.
How do I assume the state of wellness without denying current symptoms?
Acknowledge symptoms without feeding them and deliberately assume the feeling of wellness by creating a short imaginal scene in which you are already healthy; Neville urges 'feeling is the secret', so dwell in the inner sensation of ease until it feels real. Practice this quietly before sleep and whenever you relax, avoid analytical self-diagnosis which strengthens the problem, and remember Mark 11:24 about believing you have received what you ask for as a reminder to inhabit the end.
How do I run a supportive mental diet around body sensations and recovery?
Be vigilant about inner conversation: when a negative thought about your body arises, label it and immediately replace it with a brief imaginal scene or a health-centered affirmation, because Neville teaches that imagination governs your outer world. Keep the diet practical-notice sensations without dramatizing them, shift attention to images of ease or functions working well, and use Philippians 4:8 as a guide to 'think on these things' while tracking triggers in a simple journal.
Does this inner work replace medical care, or how do I combine them wisely?
Inner work is a powerful ally but not a substitute for professional medical care; Neville frames imagination as the creative power within you, yet practical measures and interventions are part of the means. Combine both by following medical advice, using imaginal scenes to reduce anxiety and accelerate recovery, informing practitioners when useful, and remembering James 2:17 that faith without works should be paired with wise action.
What’s an effective imaginal scene for clean test results and everyday vitality?
Use a simple, sensory scene: open a letter or lab portal to read clean numbers, notice the relief in your chest, hear a congratulatory voice or see yourself moving with energy, and savor the gratitude and lightness as if it has already occurred. Repeat it nightly until drowsy and briefly during the day, living in the end rather than visualizing the process, in line with Romans 4:17 about calling things that are not as though they were.
