Methods of Visualization

[Spaced]

Visualization is something I've decided to work on recently, so thanks for the timely post Plenum .

For the most part I'm like Jade in that I feel things rather than see them in my mind (clairsentience rather than clairvoyance), but I've been practicing holding an image in my mind while I meditate lately (concentration is a weak point for me that I would like to improve). There was a lot of internal debate as to what image I should focus on but I settled on the image of a rose, cause it's beautiful yet complicated. It was slow going at first but I'm making some progress, for a while I could only hold onto the image for a fraction of a second before it slipped away, but now it's lasting a few seconds before I have to redraw it in my mind's eye. I think visualization and concentration is definitely important for anyone considering the path of the adept, I feel like it might help me remember my dreams as well.

I like to do active imagination sometimes but I find it hard to get into that 'zone.' Maybe practicing visualization will make it easier.
