A Question on Visualisation

[Guest guest]

I have been focusing more on visualisation during meditation, but I'm

finding a recurring obstacle. If I try to visualise something in front

of me, no problem. I could, I think, visualise the building of an entire

city if I put my mind to it. I've always had a pretty good visual

imagination, or so I thought. However, I cant visualise anything behind

me, or around me, or inside me. Might sound strange, but I cant do it. I

never really gave it any thought until I started meditating. Take your

average meditation along the lines of " imagine a strong white light

surrounding your body! " . Well, I cant. I can imagine a strong white

light in front of me, or around something else, I just cant see it

around me. I think it simply comes down to my brain behaving

practically. It knows I cant see behind myself etc. so it wont do it. If

I try to think of a glowing light around me, or energy travelling up

inside me, my mind switches instantly to a 'third person' view, as

though I was seeing myself from outside. The same thing happens when I

was considering Gopi Krishna's meditation of imagining a lotus opening

infinitely from the top of your head... I cant see the top of my head,

so I couldn't do it without visualising my head in front of me first.

Does anyone else have a similar or the same issue? More to the point, is

it actually an issue, or is it perfectly acceptable to visualise a copy

of my own body in front of me? I've searched on the internet etc. and

found very little in the way of help. So any help form you wonderful

people will be gratefully and thankfully received. A merry Christmas, a

happy Shaktipat and sincere blessing and love to one and all! Andy x

Just try for being still during the meditation and do not worry about the

developments and what occurs or doesnt occur in you as you begin to go through

your changes. Some things will come and some things will go only to be returned.

You are in process and there will be shifts Andrew. Nothing wrong everything is

going well! - blessings and expansion my friend! - chrism

I see, so rather than pushing my thoughts onto myself, I should just observe

myself quietly and let what happens, happen?
