Meditation Advice Please

Merry Meet, @diavoline! There are a couple things you can try:

The first one is to start small. Try this exercise!

  1. Look at an object.
  2. Close your eyes and try to see it in your mind. If you don’t see anything, try “thinking” about it.
  3. Open your eyes and look at the object again. Notice what details you were missing.
  4. Close your eyes and visualize it again with the maximum amount of detail possible.

Once you feel like you can move beyond seeing and feeling a simple, everyday object, try to visualize that object in relation to space in the room.

For example: Imagine a table in a room. Where is it in the room? How tall is it? How close is it to the walls?


If that doesn’t work, you may have what Megan said and should start with other types of meditations such as breath and physical sensations instead of visualizing. I recommend that you read this topic we had earlier this year: Meditation that is NOT visual based
