Balancing Your T-Bar

I too have a 'problem' with visualisation.


As a teenager I read about visualisation as being seeing full colour images as if they are on an internal TV screen which is watched with the eyes closed.

This is something which I am yet to achieve. OK, once or twice I have sort of seen very fleeting images which are sort of in light black on a dark black background, but thats all.

I know that when I dream I do visualise (see full colour visual images), but as I wake up it all fades away.

I do not understand imagining / conceptualising as being visualising. This is not visual imagery, as such. If I think of certain things in a focused way I might have a reaction (ie: deep feelings of sadness / dismay if I think of the inhumanity some people show to others) but thats not through visual imagery.

Maybe the real issue is that the word 'visualisation' is not the best word to use, as it solely implies imagery as perceived through the eyes - and not through feeling or other senses.

Good point Simon,
I agree that visualizing for most people is not the same as imagining or imagery, and also agree that imagery is more a picture in the mind from the eyes of things that are familiar. So things that are not familiar like desires or material wants are very difficult to visualize because you have never experienced it, and the other senses, like you say, can not follow the picture.
When ever you do achieve something better than what you had all the senses follow that achievement, you become really excited so visualizing does require the technique of actually putting the emotion, excitement, smell or taste of what it is you do desire or how can you put out the ‘specific’ message of your wants.
If you do desire a new car, you can not just visualize yourself driving it, you must go to the car dealers, take a test drive, smell, feel and then you can visualize it clearly and it will come and don’t put too much into how, just know it will. That is the true key to visualizing, much easier said than done!
