Tiger Woods was taught how to use visualization and his imagination by  his father, Earl, when he was a boy.  Today, Tiger visualizes exactly where he wants the golf ball to go. He sees it in his mind before he hits the ball.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, used visualization for athletic success and also credits it for his success as a movie star: “When I was very young I visualized myself being and having what it was I wanted. Mentally I never had any doubts about it. The mind is really so incredible. Before I won my first Mr. Universe title, I walked around the tournament like I owned it.”

Michael Jordan used visualization to become the greatest basketball player in history.

Oprah: Has always used visualization and has often talked about Vision Boards on her show.

Australian Volley Ball Olympian’s, Kerri Pottharst and Natalie Cooke were coached by Actor and Stuntman, Kurek Ashley for 18 months prior to them winning an Olympic Gold Medal.  Kurek would help the girls to visualize and act as if they already had won the medal.

William Petersen, the star of the TV show… CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, had a near-death experience when he cut his finger in half and lost a lot of blood. He said he went into a long tunnel and heard a male voice saying, “It’s not your time” William said something in him changed, a sort of knowledge that somewhere on the other side, It’s good.

Tony Bennett nearly overdosed when the IRS proceeded to take his home.  At the time, his career was failing. He had no manager, a drug habit, failing marriage and mounting debts. Tony Said “A golden light enveloped me in a warm glow,” …”I had the sense that I was about to embark on a very compelling journey. But suddenly I was jolted back and  I knew I had to make major changes in my life.”

After a heart attack, Peter Sellers experienced a NDE “I looked around myself and I saw an incredibly beautiful bright loving white light above me. I wanted to go to that white light more than anything. I’ve never wanted anything more. I know there was love, real love, on the other side of the light which was attracting me so much. It was kind and loving and I remember thinking, that’s God.” …..After that Peter claims he would never fear death again.

Lou Gossett Jr. famous for his role in “An Officer and a Gentleman”, has had five near-death experiences. Lou’s most intriguing encounter occurred at the age of twelve. While playing baseball, he fell into a deep hole and experienced a brilliant tunnel of light. He also recalls a past incarnation as a pirate with a harem off the coast of Morocco. ….Hmmmm don’t know about that sounds more like a fantasy to me.

Marilyn Monroe’s ghost has reportedly been seen in her Brentwood home in LA where she died from a drug overdose in 1962, aged 36. As well, her ghost has apparently been seen at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel …Room #246.

Another actor who died young, Montgomery Clift, is also said to be hanging around the Roosevelt. Clift, who died in 1966 at age 44, is said to be hanging around the ninth-floor hallways rehearsing his lines.

Apparently Lucille Ball’s ghost has stirred some trouble at her old home in Roxbury Drive, Beverley Hills. She’s said to have created all sorts of havoc with slamming doors, turning on and off lights etc.

It’s reported that former Superman, George Reeves house is being haunted with noises in the upstairs bedroom and the smell of gunpowder, plus belongings being moved around.  Reeves’ reportedly committed suicide by gunshot in the bedroom, however many people believe he was murdered. There are also stories of dogs standing in the doorway barking and refusing to enter the room as well as lights flickering on and off.  Apparently sometimes, George appears at the foot of the bed dressed as Superman.

It is said that Elvis Presley’s ghost has taken up residence in an old building in downtown Nashville that once housed RCA studios where he recorded his hit, Heartbreak Hotel. A local television production company is  now housed in the building and it has been reported that sometimes when someone mentions Elvis, poltergeist activity picks up. Claims of lights exploding, ladders falling, and unexplained noises all manifest themselves when someone mentions the king of rock n’ roll.

Before Jim Carrey was rich and famous he carried a cheque in his wallet that he wrote to himself for 10 million dollars for “acting services rendered”.  Jim postdated the cheque for 1995 and visualized what he would buy with it. By 1995 Jim was wealthy enough to cash the cheque but never did.

Will Smith has always talked about his positive attitude and his connection to the Universe. “Our thoughts, our feelings, our ideas, are physical in the Universe. If we dream something, if we picture something, if we commit ourselves to it … then that is a physical thrust to realization that we can put into the Universe.” – Will Smith

It’s no secret that Oprah is a fan of the “Law of Attraction” however she prefers not to use the term. She encourages people to visualize their dreams. In a 2007 interview, Oprah told talk show host Larry King, “You really can change your own reality based on the way that you think.”

And to finish this post I have some great advice from financial guru Suze Orman. Suze started out with no money, and felt unworthy so she changed her thinking. Her affirmation is, “I have more money than I will ever need”. She has told people to repeat that mantra (or one of their own) over and over again until they believe it to be true.  Suze also teaches that to attract money you have to respect money and one tip is to keep your wallets clean and place bills neatly inside and in order.

Ozzy Osbourne

Sharon Stone had an NDE when she suffered a brain hemorrhage: When interviewed by Katie Couric Sharon explained:

“When it hit me I felt like I’d been shot in the head. That’s the only way I can really describe it. It hit me so hard it knocked me over on the sofa. And Phil was out of town and I called him and said, “I think I had a stroke.” But in all fairness, I’m a person who’s always saying, “I think I’ve had a stroke, I think I’ve had a heart attack, I think I’ve had a brain hemorrhage … I had a real journey with this that took me to places both here and beyond that affected me so profoundly that my life will never be the same … I get to be not afraid of dying and I get to tell other people that it’s a fabulous thing and that death is a gift. And not that you should kill yourself, but that when death comes to you, as it will, that it’s a glorious and beautiful thing. This kind of giant vortex of white light was upon me and I kind of – poof! Sort of took off into this glorious, bright, bright, bright white light and I started to see and be met by some of my friends. But it was very fast – whoosh! Suddenly, I was back. I was in my body and I was in the room.”

The late, Larry Hagman underwent a liver transplant in 1995 as a result of heavy drinking and during this time had an NDE.
“I was able to look over the edge. I got a little glimpse of what was the next step. I didn’t see a light some people see, but I had a wonderful feeling of bliss and warmth. The bottom line is love, that sounds corny, but it was just lovely, uplifting.

Donald Sutherland had a NDE in 1979 as a result of Meningitis. “Suddenly the pain, fever and acute distress seemed to evaporate. I was floating above my body, surrounded by soft blue light. I began to glide down a long tunnel, away from the bed … but suddenly I found myself back in my body. The doctors told me later that I had actually died for a time.”

The late Elizabeth Taylor In an interview with America’s AIDS magazine, Liz described her NDE again: “I went to that tunnel, saw the white light, and Mike [Todd]. I said, Oh Mike, you’re where I want to be. And he said, ‘No, Baby. You have to turn around and go back because there is something very important for you to do. You cannot give up now.’ It was Mike’s strength and love that brought me back.”

Ozzy Osbourne had a brush with death after he hit a pothole while riding a bike. He was thrown over the handlebars and subsequently fell down a hill – the bike came down on top of him and crushed his chest. Luckily for Ozzy, his security guard rushed to his side and tried to revive him – Ozzy stopped breathing twice and spent  8 days in a coma. He described the accident: “If it wasn’t for Sam I probably wouldn’t be here. He had to bring me back to life twice. I didn’t know where I was or how long I’d been there. I would drift in and out of consciousness. Other times there would be a white light shining through the darkness, but no f—king angels, no one blowing trumpets and no man in a white beard.”

Ozzy credits the crash with helping him to quit drugs and straighten up his life: “You are bopping along through life and have your ups and downs, but it is amazing how two or three seconds can totally change your life.

Ghostly GagaApparently Lady Gaga has a ghost called Ryan who has been hanging around her.

Just joking she really is legend!

Matthew McConaughey has said he was visited by a ghost he named Madame Blue.  Matthew apparently likes to walk around the house naked and was quoted as saying  ”She’s a cool ghost. Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along!” Ummm yes Matthew that would do it!  I know who I’ll be haunting when I move over to the next world.

Kate Hudson says she has seen ghosts plenty of times and the most frightening  one was a ghost of a woman with no face.

As a boy, Keanu Reeves has said that when he was living in New Jersey he had seen and felt a ghost “I remember just staring at this suit, which had no body or legs in it as it came into the room before disappearing. It was a double-breasted suit in white, and I looked at my nanny, who was just as shocked as me. I just couldn’t get back to sleep afterwards, and I still see the figure in my dreams and nightmares”, Reeves said.

Joan Rivers went into her apartment once and found pornographic writings and markings on the walls, and her dog refused to enter. She discovered the apartment was haunted by a ghost called Mrs Spencer . Rivers called a voodoo priestess to exorcise Mrs. Spencer.  Mrs Spencer must have really liked Joan because she returned and has stayed for nearly 20 years. “It’s comforting,” Rivers say. “I

know she’s there to help me.”

Paul McCartney – said that he, George Harrison and Ringo Starr sensed the playful spirit of John Lennon  in 1995 when they were recording Lennon’s song, Free As A Bird “There were a lot of strange goings-on in the studio – noises that shouldn’t have been there and equipment doing all manner of weird things. There was just an overall feeling that John was around.”
