Two Exercises to Develop the Imagination

Exercise One
1. Sit down in a quiet place, and look at a small object, such as a spoon, match or a fruit, for a few
minutes.
2. Close the eyes and try to see it mentally. If the mental image is blurred, open your eyes, look at the
object for a few seconds, and again close your eyes and try to visualize it.
Exercise Two
1. Sit down in a quiet place, and look at a photo that you like, for a few minutes. Look at all the details in
the photo, such as objects, buildings or people, and try to memorize them.
2. Close your eyes, and try to visualize what you saw in the photo for a few minutes.
3. Strive not to open your eyes and look at the photo, unless the mental image becomes blurred. In this
case, open your eyes, look at the photo for a brief moment, and then close your eyes, and try again to
visualize the details in the photo.
4. Repeat this exercise each day, for at least five minutes each time.
Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. Developing the ability to visualize is not
different from learning a new language, learning to drive a car or bodybuilding. You need to invest time
and effort in training.

Breath Control, Relaxation, Mental Imagery, and Visualization Training for Athletes
at Any Level:
First, start by finding a quiet spot where you can sit or lie down in a comfortable position, in order to relax and learn
and train yourself in these techniques. Once you’ve mastered these techniques, you then will be able to perform them
on short notice, at crowded venues, and locations where there are many potential distractions and noise levels.

Okay, you’re (preferably) on your back, lying down on the floor, sofa, bed, or lawn somewhere. I want you to lie flat
with your arms at your sides, your legs relaxed (which will generally mean your toes are pointing outward) and close
your eyes. Start by taking full diaphragmatic (belly and chest) breaths that force the stomach to extend and chest to
rise. Take in air for a count of at least 5-10 one-thousand, hold for a count of 5-10 one-thousand, and then slowly
(through pursed lips) exhale – which should also extend to a count of about 5-15 one-thousand. Do this for the first 5-
10 breaths to help you relax the body.

Now that you are controlling your breathing and starting to relax, feel your body let
go.

Let go of all of the thoughts, stress, and tension. I commonly refer to this as “dumping your baggage,” getting rid of
the excessive and unnecessary daily stress and tension. A little stress is good; however, most Americans carry way
too much excess tension (i.e. clenching jaw, tense muscles, shallow breathing…). Feel it leave your body as you
seemingly melt into the ground, sofa… etc.

Now focus your mind on images of yourself swimming, cycling, running, or walking with proper form, rhythm, while
feeling light and fast as you effortlessly perform your exercise or activity. It doesn’t matter whether you see yourself
as if you’re actually performing (from your eyes) or as if you’re seeing yourself from a “spectator view” or video. The
point is that as you see yourself performing, you can correct your form when you see or feel your focus drift and
proper technique falter. Seeing yourself execute correct and efficient form is a critical component to you doing so
later on when you actually do train or race. Just as important as logging the miles, performing speed work, hill
training…etc., your mental training level and ability to focus or re-focus quickly is key to improving and obtaining
optimal performances, in both training and competition.

Spend a good 10 minutes at first, ultimately working up to 20-30 minutes of

uninterrupted mental imagery and performance visualization training.

It takes time to learn these techniques, but with practice, after 2-3 times per week as a recommended minimum, you’ll
learn to catch yourself throughout the day breathing shallow, carrying excess tension in your body and mind, and
quickly be able to re-focus your mind and relax through deep breathing.

Use some of these techniques for that upcoming presentation, mid-term exam, or
for us athletes before, during, and after training, in order to relax and achieve
better technique and optimal performances.

Part A

1. Sit facing a simple object

Choose an object to gaze at, such as an apple, a rock, a candle, or a coffee cup. Choose something small, simple, and
stationary. Put it a few feet away from you and sit comfortably.

2. Concentrate on looking at the object

With your eyes open, try to encompass the entire object with your vision. Try to soak in an overall visual impression, rather
than concentrating on any specific feature of the object. Acknowledge distracting thoughts and perceptions and then just let
them float away.

3. Close your eyes and observe the afterimage of the object

After a few minutes, close your eyes and watch the afterimage of the object until it fades. Then open your eyes and look
intently at the object again. Repeat this several times; the afterimage should become more clear, vivid, and crisp each time.
Don’t strain to create the image. Let the clarity emerge as if of its own will.

Part B

1. Warm up by concentrating on an object in front of you

Warm up by repeating Part A several times.

2. Visualize the object hanging in space in front of you

With your eyes open, move your gaze away from the object and try to picture it directly in front of you, several feet away,
floating at eye level. It might seem strange at first, but don’t strain. Simply try to let the outlines of the image emerge in
space. You might want to start by concentrating on the way you feel about the object rather than its detailed structure. Just
accept that the object occupies the space where you are gazing, and pay attention to that feeling that the image occupies the
space because you intend it to. The sense of seeing an image will emerge from that awareness and feeling.

3. Visualize the object inside of you

When you can visualize the object in front of you, then repeat Step 2, except this time visualize it inside your body. Since
some of the lucid dream induction techniques require visualizations of objects in the throat area, try to see the object in your
throat. Then move it out again. Shift your visualization from external to internal positions again and again, until it is
effortless. (Adapted from Tulku. ‘)
Thats all there is to it. A quick, simple, and efficient way to train your ability in visualization.

Three steps of LSRT

Step 1: Image

The first step is to generate an image. Something like, playing through the first movement of a
concerto in studio class2. It’s best if the image is something that comes from past experience, as
this will make it easier to imagine the details.

An important part of this step is describing as much of the scene as you can in words. Because if
you can’t describe what you see in your head, it’s probably a sign that the image is not clear and
vivid enough.

Then you would let the imagery play out until the scene ends at some logical point. Like the end of
your studio class performance, or the last note of the scale.
Step 2: Reflect

Then, you would rate the image you just created (1=“no image at all, only thinking of the scenario”
and 5=“a perfectly clear and vivid image”), and reflect on the quality and completeness of the
image. Did you see just the visual elements of the location? Or did your image also incorporate
how your hands felt? How clearly did you hear the sound of your instrument?

The idea is to break the image down, and identify which parts were vivid and which parts were
unclear. This way you have some idea what to add to the image in your next attempt.
Step 3: Development

After reflecting on your imagery attempt, you can either re-image the same exact thing, focusing
on the elements that were the most vivid and easiest to imagine clearly. Or, you could try to
develop the image, by adding another layer of detail on top. It could be another aspect of the
space, like adding a stand or different lighting to your image. Or it might be a change in
perspective (going from a 3rd person perspective to a 1st person perspective). Or the addition of
vibrato to your sound. Or how your fingers feel during a tricky shift.
If this process seems vaguely familiar, it may be because it resembles the formula for deliberate
practice. Where you try something, reflect on how it went, and plan small adjustments or
improvements for your next attempt.

When to Practice Your Mind’s Eye

The easiest way to hone your mental imagery skill is by training at night in bed.

It’s the time of the day when you’re ready to let go. You can relax deeply. Your physical world won’t interfere with your

training sessions in your “mental dojo.”

And, full relaxation is precisely what you need to be successful. The more you’re able to let go, the easier it’ll be.

Here, the following routine helped me a great deal to create brilliant mind images. Every night before falling asleep,

I’m looking forward to fooling around in my virtual sandbox. Why? Because it’s so incredibly rewarding. (Don’t even

mention all the benefits of visualization)

The feeling of designing your private mind-world is electrifying. You take a stroll on your dream beach. Rejuvenate on

a lush summer meadow. Or seek mental shelter in your sanctuary. You can decide. Whatever is best for your needs

right now.

Without further ado, let’s get into the practical part here…

Your Mind’s Eye Training Exercise at Bedtime

So, how to start seeing pictures in your head that are more clear? Here’re the exact steps for this mind’s eye training

routine. Make them your nightly ritual, and you’ll quickly reap the benefits.

01 – RELAX – When you go to bed, first, relax deeply using your favorite relaxation method. Personally, I enjoy this

method:

Count down slowly from 50 to zero. With each breath, release tension from your body and welcome a deep physical

relaxation.

(TIP: If you’re really struggling to let go and relax, check out Roger Elliot’s Body Scan Relaxation Hypnosis here —

He’s a professional Hypnotherapist and guides you to a deep state of relaxation without conscious effort on your

part.)

02 – ENTRY – Now that you’ve arrived at a comfortable level of relaxation, recall a place you have pleasant

memories about. This could be your bedroom, a place at the beach, a garden, or the house you grew up in. (For me,

it’s the house where I grew up in.)

See yourself, for example, in front of your house. Start by observing the general shapes of it. At first, your vision may

be blurry and slightly unstable. But, don’t let that bother you. You’ll eventually perceive clear images.

03 – CLARITY-ZOOM – Pick one single object. One single point of focus (from your chosen environment) and

literally zoom in. I want you to think about the object’s surface. I mean, all the little details you’d discover using a

magnifying glass. (In fact, try imagining using one.)

If you see a table, you want to think about its wood-grain. If you observe glass, you’ll see reflections, dust, and

fingerprints. If you’re standing on a meadow, magnify a leaf of grass and recognize the lines that run along its

surface.

I, for example, zoom in to explore the texture of the white wall surrounding my house. I explore the white paint on it

and how a paintbrush has imprinted his patterns on its surface.

04 – SENSES – Let’s add more information to your imagination using your other senses. For example, run your

hands over the surfaces of whatever you imagine and feel the tickling sensation on your skin. Hear the brushing

noise it makes. Maybe in your vision, you can smell the fragrance of flowers or the salty sea.

Enjoy the process and keep exploring. This process automatically switches you into high-clarity mode. (This was a

major breakthrough to me!).

You may be saying you don’t remember how something looks like in detail. Well, then, try to fill in the gaps with your

own imagination. With enough persistence and patience, your mind will assist you in doing so.

Mindset
Make it a game. Keep it playful. Enjoy your adventures. Build your mental movie-muscle while casually, in a fun and

entertaining way. The good thing is, the better your mind’s eye gets, the more you’ll enjoy using it.

In fact, the first time you see in ‘high-res’ feels like a door to a new world of possibilities just opened up.

With some practice… your clarity will explode… and… I think I don’t have to tell you how

enjoyable and exciting this is.

Clear Mental Images Yield Clear Results. A Fuzzy Imagination Results In Fuzzy Results
We constantly inform our subconscious about our goals. If we submit our goals in blurry images, we receive blurry-

responses. Yet, on the other hand, if we hand in crisp, clear-cut blueprints, we take control of the results.

Provided we want to tap into our full potential, ignoring to improve our visualization skill would be negligent.
The good news is, we can flex that mind-muscle and whip it into shape.

My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get a new idea, I start at once building it
up in my imagination, and make improvements and operate the device in my mind. When I have gone
so far as to embody everything in my invention, every possible improvement I can think of, and when I
see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form the final product of my brain.
NIKOLA TESLA

For the development of your imagination, proceed to the actual exercise…

How To Improve Your Imagination With The Holo-Lab Exercise

Here’s where the fun starts.

First off, to flex your mind most forcefully, you need to relax all your other muscles. Like a laser, you want to bundle

up all your resources and direct them to one area. More tension and attention in your muscles computes to

lower focus in your mind. And you need all the focus you can muster.

Okay, first, close your eyes and let go of any tension.

Box-Breathing — Breath in deeply, counting to five. Hold for five and exhale all muscle tension for another five

seconds. Hold for five seconds. Repeat this 4-5 times until you feel fully relaxed.

Activate your Holo-Lab — Imagine placing your hand on a scientific door lock scanner. You hear a friendly voice

saying, “Welcome back!” and you materialize standing in a laboratory. This is your Holo-Lab. Here, you can create

and do anything you want. For now, allow your mind to furnish this place to your liking. (In future visits, you may want

to be more thorough.)

Locate your object of investigation — Now, forget about your surroundings and equip your lab with a table taking

its center. On this table, picture a familiar object, say an apple, resting on its surface. Notice where the apple is

positioned on the table and allow everything else in its vicinity to blur out.

Unleash Your Mad Scientist

Here’s where we want to dig for clarity. For the sharpest images, we need to observe with fierce curiosity.

Arouse burning curiosity — Imagine you’re a mad scientist. And, as crazy as you are, you study your apple with a

burning curiosity. You wouldn’t want to miss a single detail in your examination.

For all the following steps, take your time. Allow your mind’s eye to process your request for clarity.
Probe For Brilliant Clarity
Now we deal with each sensory input deliberately and slowly.

1. Touch & Sound

I want to you reach out and grab that apple. Lift it up. As if you were dealing with a real apple, feel its weight in your

hand. Throw it up in the air and catch it. Do it again and listen to the sound it makes when you catch it with your palm.

Now, squeeze it. Feel that resistance? Is it soft, or is it hard? What temperature can you pick up with your skin? With

your other hand, run a finger over its surface. Is it smooth or rough?

Remember, take your time with your observations. For each aspect, take at least 10 seconds.

2. Sight

Hold it in front of a light source now. This could be a window or a lamp in your room. Notice the apple’s general

outline first, then follow its contour slowly till you’ve traced its full shape with your eyes.

Move it around in your hands and register how the light bounces off its surface. What are the apple’s primary colors?

Probably your apple is red. But can you determine some shades of orange, green, and yellow? Where exactly?

Imagine you’re looking through a magnifying glass. Recognize the little dots that build some kind of pattern on the

surface. What color are they? How big are they?

Again, take your time when you run through all these details.

3. Smell & Taste

Slowly, sink your teeth into the juicy flesh of your apple. Sense how your teeth are digging into it… until your gum and

tongue touch the apple. Its juices cover your tongue, maybe even running down your chin. As your taste buds for

“sour” are tickled, your cheek muscles contract into a smile. Experience that ‘sour’ smile for a moment. What else can

you taste? Is it sweet and maybe a little bitter? Chew deliberately and swallow. Feel how it runs down into your

stomach.

Dig your nose into the apple, until it gets wet and sticky. Breathe into your nose. Smell the aroma? Can you

determine your apple’s flavors?

Enjoy the experience. You can keep exploring for some time. Otherwise, to leave your lab hit a big red “power button”

and open your eyes.

Dealing with mental distractions

While you concentrate on your investigation, other images and thoughts may pop up and wrestle for your attention.

Don’t pay heed to them. Notice the interruption and direct your focus spotlight back on your object. As you keep

practicing, you’ll notice your focus will grow steadily. Your patience will pay off quickly.

How to Get the Most Out of This Imagination Exercise

To make sure you get the most out of your Holo-Lab sessions, please follow some basic guidelines:

1. Frequency. Like with any muscle (or skill), you’ve got to practice frequently to make any progress. You want to

make quick progress? Visit your Holo-Lab 7 times a week. Each session should last for 10-15 minutes.

2. Relaxation. While you can visualize in moments of stress and tension, you get the best results while being deeply

relaxed. An excellent time for you to practice is right after you awake in the morning or when you go to bed in the

evening. At both times, we’re naturally relaxed.

3. Persistence. With one or two sessions, you might make some progress already. Yet, you’ll only make real

progress after exercising your mind’s muscle for at least a month. Especially, expect the best results right after you hit

a progress-plateau

Why Do You Want to Learn Visualization?

Here’s a short list what you can do with the power of visualization:

•Create Your Memory-Palace: Create your memory-palace and store a vast amount of information in it.
•Reach Your Goals: You’ve read books that tell you to visualize your goals vividly… as if having achieved them
already. If can you get you mind-muscle back in shape you’ll finally be able to see yourself being as successful as
you want to be!

•Peak Performance in Sports: Everyone knows that pro-golfers, pro-basketball players, athletes, etc. rehearse their
ideal sports performance and even entire games on a mental stage. This is proven to be a crucial factor in the
careers of these high-performance people.

•Perfect Speeches & Presentations: You can practice speeches, interviews, conversations, social interactions right
in your head prior to your actual performance. Doing so is proven to improve your final results drastically (introduced
by Maxwell Maltz in his life-transforming bestseller called Psycho Cybernetics [Amazon link].)

•Meditate and Visit Your Sanctuary: Of course, visualization is a powerful tool for meditation and to relaxation. For
instance, you can take a walk in your mental sanctuary or relax on your dream beach.

•Induce Lucid Dreams: You can induce thrilling night adventures via lucid dreaming with Dr. Stephen La Berge’s
MILD method (Explained in his book “Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming” [Amazon link]). If you’ve never
experienced a lucid dream, you’re missing out on one of the most rewarding experiences in your life.
•Start Good Habits, Break Bad Habits: With the power of visualization you can change your habits. Start new
habits, break bad habits.
In a nutshell, you can apply visualization all areas of your life.

Now, let’s finally proceed….

Principles of Visualization
for Maximum Sucess
For the best results, whenever you attempt to cure aphantasia or access mental imagery in general, adhere to the

following principles…

Relaxation

Critical to open your mind’s eye is deep relaxation. Before you practice, at the very least, do an instant body scan.

Take a deep breath and release any muscular tension. Let your heart-rate and breathing slow down, and your blood

pressure decrease.

Calm Eyes

Many people strain their eyes when trying to visualize. Make sure to keep the muscles that control your eyes, your

eyelids, and all surrounding facial muscles entirely relaxed at all times.

Eyes Opened & Eyes Closed

Practice with eyes opened. Practice with your eyes closed. Test both variations frequently. Especially in the

beginning, you may find it easier to keep your eyes opened.

Playfulness

At all times, if you can do so, maintain a playful attitude. As it is with learning anything else, trying too hard and

keeping it too serious can stunt your progress.

Experiment, Experiment, Experiment

Don’t just do what you read here. You came up with new ideas? Found a different aphantasia cure? Good. Give it a

try. Visualization is elusive, and everybody is different. So, if you find you get better results using a different approach,

please keep at it. (And please let me know all about it in the comments.)

Frequency

Practice periodically during your day. People who visualize naturally, exercise their imagination-muscle routinely

during all kinds of activities. We want to emulate that by frequently stimulating that muscle, titillating it to grow. You’re

waiting in line? Try visualizing something. Are you riding on a train? Practice. You’re at work taking a sip of coffee?

Well, you get the idea.

Sense, Touch, and Feel

While you may not be able to see things straight away, you may find you can sense, touch, and feel them. Whatever

it is you want to visualize, make an effort to involve your mental hands, your imaginary feet, and all body parts. Run

your fingertips over surfaces, squeeze things, stomp your foot onto the ground, dig your nose into objects, etc. In fact,

engage all your senses.

Keen Observation

In order to call up a mental image, we first need to know how it looks like. The more familiar we’re with its precise

appearance, the more details we can recall. Practically, before you practice visualizing, say, a glass, carefully

observe all its aspects. The reflections of light, shapes, angles, colors, textures, spacial relationship to objects in

proximity, and so on. Also, grab that glass, feel its weight, roll it between your hands, and so on. Stronger mental

impressions lead to more explicit mental representations.

Leading with Mental “Ideas”

Forget about seeing images once in a while. Just think about the idea of how something would look like.

I mean, if I’d ask you about how your house entrance looks like… could you give me the visual details about it? Sure,

you could! (Try it now.)

What’s the color of your door? Keep your eyes open as if you’re daydreaming and let your mind wander over its

entire surface for a minute. Are there any small details on it? Like a nameplate or some decoration? Can you

describe it? Can you somehow sense its appearance?

This is your mind’s eye at work. Even though you might not see your entrance like a mental photograph yet, you form

an idea-construct of it.

Movement

When we fix our physical eyes perfectly on one tiny detail, surroundings fade from our view. The same can happen

with our mental eyes. When you practice, try moving your mental focus around. E.g., when you visualize a dice, trace

its contours continuously keeping your focus in motion.

4 Exercises To Learn Visualization

Before you get started…

Please keep in mind – you’ll need patience. Likely, you won’t get results right away. But, if you stick to daily practice

sessions, dedicate a few minutes each day, you’ll be greatly rewarded with new and beautiful skill.
Exercise #1 – Candle Visualization
Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this exercise. This is a great foundation training to perceive afterimages in your

mind’s eye.

Let’s get started:

1.Light a candle and take a seat in a comfortable chair about 3 feet in front of it.
2.Observe the candle’s flame calmly, with mild eyes for 5-10 seconds. Ask yourself a few questions about it:”Which
colors do I see? What is its shape like? Does it move, or does it make a sound?”Answer these questions internally
and in silence.
3.Next, shut your eyes. Make sure you keep your eyelids calm and relaxed. Unwrinkle your brow. Scan your eyes
and make sure you release any tension.Now, do you “see” an after-image? Even if it’s fading instantly, fact is, you will
be able to see something. Maybe it’s just blurry light or, even better, you actually see the shape of the flame.
4.Observe this mental shadow-image and keep it up as long as you can until it fades completely.Don’t strain. Keep it
easy. Stay relaxed.
5.Wait. Before you open your eyes again: Try to recall the image by thinking of all its details. Recall and internally
describe the colors, and the shape etc.The more details you can recall the better. Be very specific. Imagine you’d
need to describe (from memory) the flame to an artist. He wants to paint it for you but relies on your observations
alone. The more information you can feed to him, the better he’ll be able to paint the candle.By doing this you
strengthen recall ability and you signal to your mind that you want to focus on these specifics.
6.Okay, open your eyes and repeat the process a few times. Commit more details to memory.Do this for max. 5
minutes. And again, stay relaxed at all times.
Practice this daily and your visualization skill will improve bit by bit.

Exercise #2 – Visualize Solid Colors

Some people can only see specific colors. Others can only see grey shades. Many of us can only see pure

blackness. This exercise will help you to picture colors.

•Get yourself a few colored surfaces. A book cover will do or you can use the images below.

•Observe your chosen color carefully and then try to imagine it in your mind. You don’t need to see any outlines. Just
focus on capturing the color.

•Repeat this with different colors and different shades.

Download all solid colors here (packed into a “.rar”-file)

Exercise #3 – Geometric Shapes

This exercise will help you imagine details of your images. Like the contours of a cube.

1.Grab a piece of paper and draw a basic geometric shape on it. Say, for example, a triangle or a circle.No need to
make it perfect. (You can also use the shapes I uploaded for you below.)
2.Now, observe that shape calmly for a moment. Slowly follow its contours once. Think of carefully retracing its
contours with a pencil.Then choose a single small detail of this shape. This could be a corner or a small section of a
line. Calmly observe this area. Again, think of retracing this particular part a few times.
3.Close your eyes. Make sure your face, your eye lids, the area around your eyes is relaxed.Try replicating the object
on your inner screen. Start with a tiny part of it. The part you previously carefully observed. Think of redrawing the
shape with that imaginary pencil.Try holding out your finger and slowly draw the shape into the air in front of you (with
eyes closed).This is critical now; If you don’t see anything, explain to yourself — in your mind — like, “I see the top
edge of the triangle. It points upwards. It’s black. The background is white.” Be very detailed!
4.Open your eyes, soak up more details of the shape. Be on the lookout for new details, rediscover old details. Keep
retracing the shape with your mental pencil.
5.Close your eyes again and bring your mental image closer to the “original” one. If you still see only blackness, keep
on describing all the details. Describe to yourself what you should see. The more the better. Also, use your finger
to draw into the air.
6.Repeat this exercise over and over again… until you can reproduce the shape clearly.You will, sooner or
later, if you keep at it. The most important thing is to discover and rediscover all details. The more details you can
perceive the more information you feed to your brain the more you will be able to recreate mentally.
7.Once you’re able to deal with simple shapes, try this exercise with a more complex shape (like a star or a letter of
the alphabet.)

Exercise #4 – Guided Visualizations

Guided visulizations are fantastic to get into deep relaxation and to access your imagination.

I’ve probably tested hundreds of guided meditations and found that these two guys on YouTube stand head and

shoulders above the rest: The Honest Guys.

The Honest Guys produce marvelous videos and they’re completeley free.

Here’s what I recommend to you as an exercise:

•Pick one guided visualization video and listen to it at least 3 times a week. This is perfect as a catnap to recharge
your batteries.

•Which each session attempt to access your imagination seeing the visuals described in the audio.

Listen to these videos over and over again. In each session, try gaining clarity by mentally filling in missing details.

Soon you’ll be able to lighten up your mental theater.

Here’s one of my favortie videos. I hope you’ll like it too:

If you don’t have an adblocker, I highly recommend you install “uBlock Origin” to your browser. That way, your

sessions won’t get interrupted by any advertisements.

By the way, you don’t need to watch these videos on YouTube. In fact, the easiest way to practice with these videos

is to download the audios and listen to them on your phone or MP3 player.

Here’s how:

– Use an add-on for Firefox: Youtube MP3

– Use this website to convert any video to MP3: OnlineVideoConverter

How to Improve Visualization with Self-Hypnosis For $14,95
Did you know that you can get better at visualising with self-hypnosis?

I’ve discovered this while doing some research on “mind’s eye training” and “aphantasia”. It turns out, there’s this

hypnotherapist called Mark Tyrell and he’s recorded this professional hypnosis session specifically designed to

improve visualization.

When you listen to Mark’s hypnosis audio (it’s 30:50 min. long), you’ll be transported into a state of deep relaxation.

You’re like floating on a cloud when he strengthens the part of your brain that naturally creates images when you

dream.

So, if you’ve tried everything else and you don’t know where else to look for a solution, go to their website and read

the full description. Maybe, this is exactly what you need. Click on this link here:

•Improve Visualization with SELF-HYPNOSIS

Btw., (and you haven’t heard this from me!) you can use and listen to their full hypnosis for 90 days, and then just

refund it to get your cash back –they won’t even ask you for any reasons.

Pick One or Two Methods And Stick With It. Daily. For 31 Days.
I would love to hear from you and your progress. I personally know that this is frustrating but it’s merely a matter of

endurance and persistent practice.

Don’t give up on it and keep at it. Learn how to visualize. Yes, it may take you several months to get better, but then,

this is extraordinarily valuable skill you’ll be able to benefit from all your life.

What Is Image Streaming?

Image streaming is an exercise where you observe your mental images and movies. While you explore the movies of

your mind, you describe them out loud in maximum detail.

Initially, image streaming was invented to improve your ability to visualize. However, in the book “The Einstein

Factor,” Win Wenger introduced image streaming as a means to raise your I.Q.

Some people claim you can use image streaming for healing aphantasia (a state of the mind where you can’t

produce mental images at will).

Image streaming helps you to empower your visualisation skills while it improves your verbal fluency, and enables

you to access your subconscious mind for problem-solving.

Whether this exercise makes you smarter or not, is questionable. What’s more important than a potential growth of

your intelligence is that this technique dramatically develops your mind’s ability to form and control images at will.

Even if you’ve got a hard time imagining anything at all, you can learn image streaming. Practice increases your

imagination, eloquence, and your creative thinking powers.

Image streaming is a technique to develop your visualization skill. If you cannot create any mental images at all, or

you want to get better at it, then this technique is for you.

How To Do Image Streaming

Practicing image streaming is kinda like watching a movie with a blind friend.

While watching that movie, you’d tell him exactly what’s happening on the movie screen so that he too can

experience as much as possible. The more information you can convey to him, the better his experience.

Let’s get into the practical steps now:

Step #1 – Preparation
Retreat to a place where you’ll be undisturbed for the next few minutes. Make yourself comfortable, lie down, and

make sure you’ve turned off all devices that could distract you.

Set your timer for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step #2 – Relaxation
Scan your body’s muscles for tension, relaxing them progressively. Start with your head, end with your feet.

Begin with all your facial muscles and the muscles in your scalp. Move your awareness down slowly, relaxing your

neck, shoulders, chest, abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, lower legs, and finish with your feet.

You should be done within four to five minutes.

Step #3 – Vocalizing Streams of Images
Once you’re fully relaxed, begin describing —out loud— what you observe on your mental movie screen. Verbalize

without interruption and as detailed as possible whatever you see in your mind, even if it’s just some vague shapes or

blotches of color.

As you describe the images of your mind, these images will grow in intensity, gain in color, and clarity. Your visual

experience will flow much natural, become more vivid and more vibrant.

Many people start out seeing only vague shapes. If that’s what you see, start out describing these shapes and

express any changes, transformations, happenings.

It’s like you’re the radio reporter, broadcasting an important sports match. Naturally, you want your audience to be

able to grasp what you’re talking about fully.

Whatever happens, endeavor to go more and more into the details of what you perceive.

Keep talking. It happens, at times, that you’ll be at a loss for words. That’s okay. With practice, your verbal fluency will

improve.

In his book “The Einstein Factor,” Win Wenger asks you to record your voice or have someone listen to you. I found

this is not necessary, and you can simply skip that part.

Can You Do Image Streaming With Eyes Open?

Most people visualize best when they close their eyes. Yet, others find it easier to create images with eyes open.

If you’re not sure what’s easiest and most efficient for you, I recommend you try both till you know which way suits

your best. When you stream with open eyes, you may want to darken your room so that you can relax without being

distracted by anything in your field of vision.

What If You Don’t See Anything At All?

In case you don’t even see some vague images, here’s what you can do:

After-Image: Look at a candle (or any other not too bright light source). Stare at it for a few seconds and then close

your eyes.

You’ll see an after-image of that light source. Begin describing that image and it’ll soon change and transform, grow

in clarity.
Eye-Touch: Gently, I mean very gently, press with your fingertips onto your closed eyes. After a few seconds, you’ll

perceive some color sensations. Remove your fingers from your eyes, and begin describing these color sensations.

Dream Recall: Recall a recent dream and begin describing that dream out loud. Keep describing and soon you’ll find

images appearing on your mental movie screen.

Do You Need To Speak Out Loud?

To access sharper mind-imagery, you don’t need to verbalize what you see. Although it costs more discipline and

may not increase your eloquence, you can just describe things with your mental voice.

You’ll find “silent image streaming” in particular useful to fall asleep at night.

Conclusion
With just a few minutes every day, you’ll soon improve your ability to imagine HD-like, colorful, crystal-clear images

on your mind’s screen.
