Visualization...i cant do it!

[Tom]

So only experienced KI users should answer this thread?

The challenge is that the pictures can come and go so quickly that you do not actually "see" them. Kevin Trudeau, author of a course on developing your memory, says that the mind always thinks in pictures. One of his examples is this: does anyone dream in words instead of pictures? He says that if anyone says "I dream in words instead of pictures" he wants to get you into a sleep lab. The other example I remember is this one, if you have a couch at home what does it look like? And what came to mind when you described it? Did you see a picture of the couch or did phrases come to mind without pictures?

To visualize, use your imagination. You do not have to see pictures the way you would if you were holding a photograph in your hand. Just intending to visualize or imagine something happening helps.

The best thing I can suggest is that you look up NEW. It starts with mobile body awareness, the ability to place your attention in the body parts of your choice, and then you move that awareness from one point to another along the path of your choice. It is followed by tactile imagery, which is just an extension on mobile body awareness. Instead of visual pictures, you create sensations such as using a paintbrush on the joints of your thumb. At first you can use a fingernail to lightly scratch the area you are trying to stimulate and then use your concentration to keep the sensations from fading after you stop scratching.

Hi,
Squeek, what I find helpful is if you close your eyes and relax while visualizing.
Yes, I also advise you do N.E.W. It helps to move the Ki around.

Cya,
