Episode 06: Unusual Guided Meditation Exercise For People With Aphantasia

If you have difficulty visualizing, or aphantasia, this meditation may help you develop the ability to visualize. Through the use of bright lights and other techniques, this meditation aims to help people with aphantasia develop the ability to visualize. I found out I wasn't able to visualize last year, and fell into a bit of a depression. I wanted the ability so bad, and knowing that other people could just make things appear in their brain made me feel so totally JEALOUS. Now I'm trying to develop ways to train my brain via brain mapping, to be able to visualize. After my first attempt describing what I was seeing with my eyes closed I saw a very distinct blue star, now I believe I have the ability I just need to train and develop it. Try this meditation if you are curious about your own ability to visualize!

Episode 05: Exploring Aphantasia Through Signs and Experiments

Aphantasia is a condition where people are unable to visualize mental images. This can be a difficult condition to cope with because it means that people are unable to daydream, visualize memories, or see mental images when they read. Aphantasia can also make it difficult to imagine future scenarios, plan for events, or understand spatial relationships.

There is still much unknown about aphantasia, so I'm taking it into my own hands to perform experiments on myself. Listen along to hear how I've followed the signs in my life to lead me to start experimenting with myself.

During my first experiment, inspired by Nikola Tesla, I had a MAJOR breakthrough; I saw a blue star!!!! Now I am convinced I can train myself to be able to visualize. Keep listening to follow my journey!
