Visualization exercise
How to make comparisons with your eyes closed
Place anything before you. First, choose any simple object preferably with a non-reflective surface (toys will do nicely). If this is not possible, make your task simpler by singling out some small object, say, a mobile phone. On the one hand, this is a rather complex object, on the other, you can focus on one simple detail only, for instance, a button.
Take a sitting position. Relax. Focus on the object. Look at for several minutes, trying to memorize the tiniest details. Look at the center, trying to see the entire object, thus developing your peripheral vision. To avoid unwanted thoughts, you should prevent your eyes from roving about the room. Now close your eyes. Try to keep the object in your mental view as long as possible. Do this 3-5 times a day in one position at a time. Change an object immediately if you get bored with it. You can repeat the exercise more than five times if you get pleasure from it.
During each new exercise, try to look for new details, something that you’ve failed to notice before. Once you get bored with a certain position or an object, imagine how you consign it to a dustbin, crumple, dissolve etc., it, achieving a blank mental “screen” at the end of exercise. Do this exercise several times a day, making your task more complex, by seeking out new, unusual positions. Change the rhythm and speed of comparisons. Try to attain inspiration and a rise in your creativity. You should train at least once a day for 10 minutes, until you can evoke a clear, color image with your eyes closed.
Stop!
Sitting on a bench in a park or riding in transport cast your eyes outside briefly (at a passer-by, a dog, a group of people, a tree etc.). Then close your eyes and try to see/make out the object as clear as possible for several seconds, as long as a situation will allow you to do this. (Be careful).
Examples of training
A) saw – closed my eyes – discerned – deleted
B) saw – closed my eyes – discerned – waited for 5-10 or so minutes – closed my eyes – discerned – deleted
Do this exercise whenever and wherever you can. You should achieve a very clear, color and bright mental picture.
How to make comparisons with your eyes open
The same as during the first exercise except that this time around you turn away from an object, looking at some monochrome surface (a sheet of paper, a ceiling, a painted wall), without closing your eyes, trying to see as clear as possible the object on the surface.
This exercise will help you learn to see clear, color images with your eyes open.
Animation
Take a sitting position in a park or by a window. Cast your eyes at some moving object (a passer-by, a dog, a bird etc). Close your eyes, allowing the object to move this time around. If it’s a passer-by, let them reach the edge of your picture, stopping there. This exercise may cause some difficulties at first. Open your eyes and compare. Train as frequently as you can and in a week you’ll be able to effortlessly animate your pictures. Keep on training until everything goes smoothly, without ant efforts from you.
