Thread: Inducing Trance To Wild - Part 2

Hey Nazcan,

All I can tell ya is to keep practicing with the images, make sure you have a proper and comfortable distance between your eyes and the image. Also a little tip to help you see the whole after-image is to squeeze your eyelids a little tighter and act as if you're blinking with your eyelids closed. You'll see what I mean when you try it, also if you have a white wall nearby with the after-image in vision start blinking as you look at the white wall and you'll see it.

Hey Sythix,

In the beginning of this thread, you listed several tips and one of them is confusing to me.

"Don't see with your physical eyes, see with your minds eye. Pinpoint the area in your consciousnesswhere this image is projected. It is different than where your eyes project their image. Keep your attention in this area and you might find yourself seeing the images vividly!"

Could you elaborate please?

Thanks

Hi Nazcan,

Besides the particular “way” that you are looking, which is anchored to external perception, there is also a particular vantage that you are looking from. In most people this is a point immediately behind the eyes. We need to move this vantage point to a point where visualizations are being created. If you're having trouble pinpointing this area here's what you can do:

Start first by becoming aware of where it is you are aware from when your eyes are open. Now you have two options. One is too expand this spot and the second is to move it. If you have trouble with either of these, a helpful exercise is to start with your eyes closed; become aware of your entire body, then the room, then the building, then the block and reverse the process; shrinking back down in stages until you are at a single point, mostly likely in your head; note where this spot is.

Hope this helps ya

I get that the vantage point where most people are looking from is right behind the eyes, because that is the point from which we percieve what we see when our eyes are open, but I don't know what you mean when you say move the vantage point to where visualizations are being created. Do you mean metaphorically or literally to a part of your brain that actually produces the visualizations.

Thanks for the help because I know how frustrating it must be to constatly be asked to help me'

I mean literally move it. Here's another little exercise to say what I mean:

Take your left or right hand in front of you and start to visualize a brush stroking along your thumb, do this visualization slowly and really feel the brush stroke. Soon enough you'll start feeling a tingle or some kind of sensation there. What you've done is bring your awareness to your thumb, and you can do this with any other part of your body. This is what I mean, move your awareness which is usually situated behind your eyes and move it to another part of your head. You can literally move this vantage point at will if you practice it, it's not impossible and very easy!
