Blessings Darlings!
I am not a visually-oriented person. Ask me to 'visualize' something and I'm going to have a very hard time with it. Or fail. Ask me to describe something I saw, I'm likely to fail. This extends to my use of makeup (I don't use it), my taste in museums (I focus on reading the information more than looking at the actual objects), the type of meditations I find the most 'to my tastes'. As a result of this, while I'm old and have been doing all sorts of metaphysical stuff for a long long time now - 'visual' stuff is not something that is usually part of my practice.
Today while meditating, I kinda got a breakthru' of sorts. I was sitting there, doing the mantra I learned 40+ years ago when I took a Transcendental Meditation class. The mantra is the beginning of a prayer or invocation to a Hindu Goddess, but I don't know the prayer/invocation or recall who the Goddess is. And I'm not going to claim that I'm consistent about meditation, or of even doing mantra meditation every time, or THIS mantra meditation when I do mantra meditation.
Yeah, I'm a Bad Witch.
Anyway, suddenly I realized I could 'send' and 'see' the energy from the mantra going thru' my body. And I could change where they mantra was centered and sending that energy from - it DIDN'T have to be from my throat. It could centered in any of the major chakras (It's not like I tried centering it on my thumb, or my shoulder, but I didn't think of centering it from my feet.) Hey, , afor ME this is a breakthru', and one that I've gotten in my mid 60's. I'm extremely chuffed!
I did a quick practice of doing it in all the levels of my auras, using Ivo Dominguez, Jr.'s "Emerald Heart" exercise, which rocked.
The point here is less the 'technique' or 'visualization', and more that we all have things that we suck at, visualization being one of mine. And that it's okay to not be good at some stuff. Find your best ways of working, and rely on those for the most part. BUT - keep practicing at the stuff you suck at, too. Because you may or may not get better or get breakthru's, but then again you just might. I'm here to give you hope that someday you might suck less at it, just like me.
Frondly, Fern
