The best results i have had so far are outlines of the pen but no colour and a silhouette of the pen.

Can anyone describe their step by step way of training their non visual mind into being able vividly see a scene or whatever object in thier minds eye if you had previously struggled with this task but can now do it easilly.

I want to know if you describe the scene or object with your minds voice to summon the visual or whatever the process is that you go through to mentally create the picture clearly in your mind with no cloudyness or looming darkness with bright flashing azura clouds and what not.

Thank you for your insights.

I have never thought that way about reading fiction! I’ve always seen ‘increasing storytelling/writing abilities’ and ‘relaxation’ as the only two major benefits.

Thanks for the insight!

I developed visualization by reading Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time. Any book that gives details about places, clothes, events etc and is also an engaging read will help develop this skill!

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I’m a highly visual-oriented person, so it’s always nice to know how more kinesthetic people like you see — I mean, feel — the world.

Yes, I too am weak in the visualizing arena.
I am excellent in the kinesthetic realm.
(When asked to visualize a single candle burning, I see the flame being blown out – poof – dark!)

When asked how I feel about something, often I am a vessel through which love and support come through to others.

I think it is very helpful to listen to many teachers AND especially the teacher within you.
Yes, practice will in time build skills (I DID make myself stronger by practicing what gym and psychology coaches taught me.)
AND … I love the strength U was born with and I leverage that strength for my own happiness and success and the happiness and success of others.

When I really “listen deeply to how I FEEL”, I almost always make the right decision and feel better in whatever I do. Before attending an important business meeting I did NOT try to visualize myself there connecting with people and so on.

I stood quietly deciding whether or not to wear a somewhat outrageous t-shirt of an old man (ever see it?) “Growing old is not for Sissies” – with great photo of confident 68 year old man with hand weights – really inspiring photo realism on my chest.

Yes, this DOES feel right – ok ON goes the shirt and BOOM within minutes at the meeting I made a great connection with a woman at the conference who loved the t shirt (she is an athlete). Our conversation was peppered with smiles and laughs and before I knew it she invited me to share my business ideas with her at her place of business the following week. (I learned that she was an influential executive at a company I have “always wanted to visit”!)

Long story short – yes practice a variety of improvements and lean into and lean upon your strengths – they are your gifts to share with the world.

Is this helpful?

Love and friendship and respect to all,
