Visualization can be very hard for some people. At an early age our imaginations have been supressed by some parents, alot of times people lose the ability to use their imagination.
Maybe you left your inner child- alone. Alone to the point where it’s very difficult to bring your inner child back to life.
I’ve read alot of books over the year and have never been able to “see” things in my mind, let alone imagine manipulating a ball of energy. Sometimes it takes years of searching until something finally works!
As a child I seen and felt things…which I won’t go into, but it’s been nearly 25 years since I was finally able to visualize.
One thing that has helped me is meditation. I write alot about meditating, but for me it works. Maybe if you are having the same sorts of troubles, it might be something for you to try.
The first thing I would do is search for “guided meditations”. Guided meditations are just that. The voice on the meditation paints a picture, puts you on a path and you follow. If you find a few and they aren’t working for you then you want to try different ones. I feel pretty strongly about guided meditations because of the difficulty *I* had, and guided meditations worked for me.
In the many Witchcraft 101 books that I’ve read I have tried to do what the exercises said..followed the instructions on grounding.. but basically I was reading the words, trying to feel it with all my might..and just KNOW its working. Well, that’s not good enough I’ve come to discover =)
When it finally worked for me I had an emotional experience. Truly! My whole body resonated. I could feel the vibrations throughout my entire body – and the most important thing to me that I felt was a feeling of “coming home”. Being cradled in such loving arms that I never felt before in my life – and I broke down and cried for an hour and talked about it to my husband for 3. It was truly an experience to remember.
As always I give credit where credit is due and Chitra Sukhu was the creator of the meditations that I used.Theyre a chakra healing meditation and I just adore her work that she does with children!
What does chakra’s have to do with what you are looking for? Well for me it meant the difference between “reading the words” on how to ground and being connected to the Earth. Once I learned how to do this, doing this on my own without the use of guided meditations.
There is no one right way to do things, so you need to find what works for you. Perhaps you’re not ready to take it to the next level. Which is totally logical. Not accomplishing doesn’t mean failure – it just means you need to continue searching. You have it within you. You will find it.
