Thread: WILD Technique, for beginners and before sleep.

Although I had some success the first time I tried this technique, for some reason it has been difficult for me. Most of the time I have trouble visualizing anything and don't stay focused.
I know I've had success with a similar approach in the past, but most of the time I get nothing. I'm not sure what it is that makes those few times work out. There must be some subtle difference in what I'm doing or when I do it.

Try it while sitting upright/meditating. If you stay relaxed for a while, you'll get vivid thoughts automatically. The longer you wait, the more vivid those images will become. Usually after 5-15 minutes of not moving much you should start to get vivid daydreams. Also, when you sit upright it keeps your focus/awareness up a lot easier. With the right mindset, you can WILD with this while sitting anywhere or even when you're meditating
