Visualising
I don’t “see” in visualisations. What else can I do?
Kristy, I was coming here for the same comment. I have aphantasia and when I close my eyes to visualize I just see blackness. I still benefit from meditation but I can't just imagine lying on a beach and picture it in my mind. Most of the strongest memories I have are strong because they are tied to very strong emotions/incidents and/or I have a picture I see regularly and that is what I see. For instance, I can't close my eyes and remember my grandmother - I could describe her to you but I can't visualize her. When images of her pop up in my mind it typically is from a picture that I took and is on my phone's favorites so it is shared on my screen regularly so I see it frequently. I just started the 101 class (day 2) so curious how aphantasia will fit into this. If you have any insight I would love to hear it!
