Comments for How Can Guided Imagery Help Someone with No Ability to Visualize? at http://belleruthnaparstek.com , comment 1 to 4 out of 4 comments http://belleruthnaparstek.com Sat, 31 Jul 2010 22:09:04 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://belleruthnaparstek.com/ask-belleruth/how-can-guided-imagery-help-someone-with-no-ability-to-visualize.html#comment-642 Thanks for the comment, but I would caution against getting too psychodynamic in interpreting this. Some of us are born lefties (I believe it's about 14% men and 7% women, across the board). Some of us are born gay (I believe it's about 10%, across the board). Some of us are born without strong visual wiring. Repression or denial aside, the percentage of people who don't visualize easily is about 45% across the board. I'd look to inborn neurophysiological wiring and not over-interpret this. - Belleruth Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:32:11 +0100 http://belleruthnaparstek.com/ask-belleruth/how-can-guided-imagery-help-someone-with-no-ability-to-visualize.html#comment-637 Hi Bellruth, The Question that comes to my mind is, what is the patch protecting? Just a thought. I think that we are sometimes too literal in our interpretation of life and when we can open up to what life is teaching us symbolically, it changes the whole picture, and it changes our perspective as we see through new eyes. Our Soul is gently nudging us closer to our True Self so that we may become whole in conciousness once again. It shines the light of understanding when we are ready to receive it through our intition. The inability to see with human faculties may have to take a back seat to intuition or inner viewing for a while. When we can see the larger picture, fear loosen it's hold on us. Seeing from a place of Soul gives new meaning to life as we have known it and it opens doors to new possibilities for those willing to walk through them. - Joni Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:04:21 +0100 http://belleruthnaparstek.com/ask-belleruth/how-can-guided-imagery-help-someone-with-no-ability-to-visualize.html#comment-635 I can confirm Belleruth's observation that "you don't have to visualize to get results from guided imagery." Other sensory imagining works for me! I had great distress for a long time over the fact that I cannot "visualize." The distress was quite unnecessary! What I can do -- and quite well -- is imagine how I feel internally, and what I smell and taste with that feeling. I was very busy trying to do something I couldn't, and nearly missed noticing what I could do. - Ann Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:21:35 +0100 http://belleruthnaparstek.com/ask-belleruth/how-can-guided-imagery-help-someone-with-no-ability-to-visualize.html#comment-634 I found that when I eventually stopped looking I began to see.That eye patch can become a cloud.When the cloud clears, the mind sees what lies beyond..pure, absolute, peace..how wonderful to have the guidance of these I-opening cds.. - mary bowie Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:41:44 +0100
