How to see clear images in your minds eye

How To Learn Visualization​

Before you get started…

Please keep in mind – you’ll need patience. Likely, you won’t get results right away. But, if you stick to daily practice sessions, dedicate a few minutes each day, you’ll be greatly rewarded with new and beautiful skill.

Exercise #1 – Candle Visualization​

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this exercise. This is a great foundation training to perceive afterimages in your mind’s eye.

Let’s get started:

1. Light a candle and take a seat in a comfortable chair about 3 feet in front of it.
2. Observe the candle’s flame calmly, with mild eyes for 5-10 seconds. Ask yourself a few questions about it:”Which colors do I see? What is its shape like? Does it move, or does it make a sound?”Answer these questions internally and in silence.
3. Next, shut your eyes. Make sure you keep your eyelids calm and relaxed. Unwrinkle your brow. Scan your eyes and make sure you release any tension.Now, do you “see” an after-image? Even if it’s fading instantly, fact is, you will be able to see something. Maybe it’s just blurry light or, even better, you actually see the shape of the flame.
4. Observe this mental shadow-image and keep it up as long as you can until it fades completely.Don’t strain. Keep it easy. Stay relaxed.
5. Wait. Before you open your eyes again: Try to recall the image by thinking of all its details. Recall and internally describe the colors, and the shape etc.The more details you can recall the better. Be very specific. Imagine you’d need to describe (from memory) the flame to an artist. He wants to paint it for you but relies on your observations alone. The more information you can feed to him, the better he’ll be able to paint the candle.By doing this you strengthen recall ability and you signal to your mind that you want to focus on these specifics.
6. Okay, open your eyes and repeat the process a few times. Commit more details to memory.Do this for max. 5 minutes. And again, stay relaxed at all times.

Practice this daily and your visualization skill will improve bit by bit.

Exercise #2 – Visualize Solid Colors​

Some people can only see specific colors. Others can only see grey shades. Many of us can only see pure blackness. This exercise will help you to picture colors.

• Get yourself a few colored surfaces. A book cover will do or you can use the images below.
• Observe your chosen color carefully and then try to imagine it in your mind. You don’t need to see any outlines. Just focus on capturing the color.
• Repeat this with different colors and different shades.

Exercise #3 – Geometric Shapes​

This exercise will help you imagine details of your images. Like the contours of a cube.

1. Grab a piece of paper and draw a basic geometric shape on it. Say, for example, a triangle or a circle.No need to make it perfect. (You can also use the shapes I uploaded for you below.)
2. Now, observe that shape calmly for a moment. Slowly follow its contours once. Think of carefully retracing its contours with a pencil.Then choose a single small detail of this shape. This could be a corner or a small section of a line. Calmly observe this area. Again, think of retracing this particular part a few times.
3. Close your eyes. Make sure your face, your eye lids, the area around your eyes is relaxed.Try replicating the object on your inner screen. Start with a tiny part of it. The part you previously carefully observed. Think of redrawing the shape with that imaginary pencil.Try holding out your finger and slowly draw the shape into the air in front of you (with eyes closed).This is critical now; If you don’t see anything, explain to yourself — in your mind — like, “I see the top edge of the triangle. It points upwards. It’s black. The background is white.” Be very detailed!
4. Open your eyes, soak up more details of the shape. Be on the lookout for new details, rediscover old details. Keep retracing the shape with your mental pencil.
5. Close your eyes again and bring your mental image closer to the “original” one. If you still see only blackness, keep on describing all the details. Describe to yourself what you should see. The more the better. Also, use your finger to draw into the air.
6. Repeat this exercise over and over again… until you can reproduce the shape clearly.You will, sooner or later, if you keep at it. The most important thing is to discover and rediscover all details. The more details you can perceive the more information you feed to your brain the more you will be able to recreate mentally.
7. Once you’re able to deal with simple shapes, try this exercise with a more complex shape (like a star or a letter of the alphabet.)

Exercise #4 – Guided Visualizations​

Guided visualizations are fantastic to get into deep relaxation and to access your imagination.

I’ve probably tested hundreds of guided meditations and found that these two guys on YouTube stand head and shoulders above the rest: The Honest Guys.

The Honest Guys produce marvelous videos and they’re completely free.

Here’s what I recommend to you as an exercise:

• Pick one guided visualization video and listen to it at least 3 times a week. This is perfect as a catnap to recharge your batteries.
• Which each session attempt to access your imagination seeing the visuals described in the audio.

Listen to these videos over and over again. In each session, try gaining clarity by mentally filling in missing details. Soon you’ll be able to lighten up your mental theater.

Here’s one of my favorite videos. I hope you’ll like it too:

To be able to see clear images in your mind

-Chess players learn it to get better at blindfold

-Artist and photographers learn it

-People who are good at memorizing learn it to better use the memory palace method

Helps you to see clear images in your minds eye.

Some people can't see anything in there minds eye and a few people can see perfect visual images but most people can only see blurry images when they try to imagine an image.

ok

 

[Deleted member 7044]

this is something u learn automatically if u draw a lot, it helps perceive objects as 3d forms by analyzing the volume and shape of it
sadly this is not gonna work on 99% of users here since this is a trait that requires long attention span and observational skills

 

[Madhate]

Damn i never thought about visualization
I want to learn drawing and I noticed that I literally can't visualize for jack shit
I can only see VERY blurry images, if even that.

Also for "Chess players learn it to get better at blindfold chess". I don't agree with that, since I've played the piano for a very long time, can't visualize, yet I can play with my eyes closed just because of muscle memory, not visualization.

Good thread tho, will definitely look into it more, and read the article you sent.
What was your starting point in visualization and how much did it help you til now? I wanna be able to fully visualize

Interestingly enough chess players do visualize an actual chess board during blindfold

Developing Chess Board Vision (Part 1)

Board vision is the ability to see how the pieces move and interact on the chess board. This skill is a critical part of a player's chess foundation. One of the best ways to develop board vision is by playing lots and lots of games! The other way is through board vision exercises – the subject...

www.chessfornovices.com

Also it helps visualization significantly. I used to barely be able to see blurry images but now I can see them much clearer.
Although I haven't reach level of hyperphantasia level were you can see everything perfectly to the point of it being indistinguishable from reality.

Which exercise do you think is the most efficent? I don't have enough time to do every single one of them tbh

 

[Deleted member 10413]

Oh another thing. The art of memory made a scale for this. I would say I went from 2 to 4

Which exercise do you think is the most efficent? I don't have enough time to do every single one of them tbh

It depends on were your at. If you can't visualize at all then I would start trying to burn an afterimage of something into your minds eye (like the candle). Once you master that I would do 1 solid color and then once you master that move onto geometrical shapes like squares or stars.
If you don't have time or aren't motivated enough to do guided mediation what you can do instead is start out by creating a mental garden and just revisit it constantly throughout the day and try to see how clear you can make everything. Just start with 1 tree or plant and slowly increase it.

Also most of this can be done in your mind and doesn't require any external help so just do it whenever your bored in class or waiting in line.

My minds eye must be mad legit

i can imagine the red star spinning, turning, glowing, changing colors, being set on fire, etc etc

Good thread. I do have Hyperphantasia but I don't think I am one of those people have the most strongest degree of Hyperphantasia.
I don't think it is common for anyone to not have Hyperphantasia. Only like 3% of people in the world have aphantasia. I'm able to picture scenes and certain images/environments in my head with accurate colors, but I have to try a little to remember or maintain that image.

On a side note, I'm musical (I began playing the piano before before 10 yo). I developed and possess perfect pitch (which is nearly impossible for adults or even teens to gain). I can guess any musical note on any instrument by ear within 5 seconds with ease. The same applies to chords (multiple musical notes played at once), but it takes me a bit more time for to figure the chord out. I don't claim to have synesthesia, but whenever I would play/hear a D note (or a D major chord)... I can see a bright golden yellow color in my head. For E (the note and major chord) I see a soothing yet bright blue. There are a certain amount of people who can relate to what I experience with the exact colours. Nor sure why.

Almost all of the people that I have met who have claimed to have hyperphantasia have been insanely intelligent. They can usually score 24-26 on this(with some practice): https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/memory. I think that Hyperphantasia is rare, most people just have "normal" visualization, and some people have no visualization at all. Also the technical term for it is: "visual spatial sketchpad"

Seems like a scam.
Generally I'd do well, but rng sometime gives essentially a scrambled chessboard and I refuse to believe most people can memorise it in such a short period of time. If the timer was longer... I literally fail to actually see everything in time.
If there's an obvious pattern, then it's easy.

Please keep in mind – you’ll need patience. Likely, you won’t get results right away. But, if you stick to daily practice sessions, dedicate a few minutes each day, you’ll be greatly rewarded with new and beautiful skill.

Exercise #1 – Candle Visualization​

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this exercise. This is a great foundation training to perceive afterimages in your mind’s eye.

Let’s get started:

1. Light a candle and take a seat in a comfortable chair about 3 feet in front of it.
2. Observe the candle’s flame calmly, with mild eyes for 5-10 seconds. Ask yourself a few questions about it:”Which colors do I see? What is its shape like? Does it move, or does it make a sound?”Answer these questions internally and in silence.
3. Next, shut your eyes. Make sure you keep your eyelids calm and relaxed. Unwrinkle your brow. Scan your eyes and make sure you release any tension.Now, do you “see” an after-image? Even if it’s fading instantly, fact is, you will be able to see something. Maybe it’s just blurry light or, even better, you actually see the shape of the flame.
4. Observe this mental shadow-image and keep it up as long as you can until it fades completely.Don’t strain. Keep it easy. Stay relaxed.
5. Wait. Before you open your eyes again: Try to recall the image by thinking of all its details. Recall and internally describe the colors, and the shape etc.The more details you can recall the better. Be very specific. Imagine you’d need to describe (from memory) the flame to an artist. He wants to paint it for you but relies on your observations alone. The more information you can feed to him, the better he’ll be able to paint the candle.By doing this you strengthen recall ability and you signal to your mind that you want to focus on these specifics.
6. Okay, open your eyes and repeat the process a few times. Commit more details to memory.Do this for max. 5 minutes. And again, stay relaxed at all times.

Practice this daily and your visualization skill will improve bit by bit.

Exercise #2 – Visualize Solid Colors​

Some people can only see specific colors. Others can only see grey shades. Many of us can only see pure blackness. This exercise will help you to picture colors.

• Get yourself a few colored surfaces. A book cover will do or you can use the images below.
• Observe your chosen color carefully and then try to imagine it in your mind. You don’t need to see any outlines. Just focus on capturing the color.
• Repeat this with different colors and different shades.

Exercise #3 – Geometric Shapes​

This exercise will help you imagine details of your images. Like the contours of a cube.

1. Grab a piece of paper and draw a basic geometric shape on it. Say, for example, a triangle or a circle.No need to make it perfect. (You can also use the shapes I uploaded for you below.)
2. Now, observe that shape calmly for a moment. Slowly follow its contours once. Think of carefully retracing its contours with a pencil.Then choose a single small detail of this shape. This could be a corner or a small section of a line. Calmly observe this area. Again, think of retracing this particular part a few times.
3. Close your eyes. Make sure your face, your eye lids, the area around your eyes is relaxed.Try replicating the object on your inner screen. Start with a tiny part of it. The part you previously carefully observed. Think of redrawing the shape with that imaginary pencil.Try holding out your finger and slowly draw the shape into the air in front of you (with eyes closed).This is critical now; If you don’t see anything, explain to yourself — in your mind — like, “I see the top edge of the triangle. It points upwards. It’s black. The background is white.” Be very detailed!
4. Open your eyes, soak up more details of the shape. Be on the lookout for new details, rediscover old details. Keep retracing the shape with your mental pencil.
5. Close your eyes again and bring your mental image closer to the “original” one. If you still see only blackness, keep on describing all the details. Describe to yourself what you should see. The more the better. Also, use your finger to draw into the air.
6. Repeat this exercise over and over again… until you can reproduce the shape clearly.You will, sooner or later, if you keep at it. The most important thing is to discover and rediscover all details. The more details you can perceive the more information you feed to your brain the more you will be able to recreate mentally.
7. Once you’re able to deal with simple shapes, try this exercise with a more complex shape (like a star or a letter of the alphabet.)

Exercise #4 – Guided Visualizations​

Guided visualizations are fantastic to get into deep relaxation and to access your imagination.

I’ve probably tested hundreds of guided meditations and found that these two guys on YouTube stand head and shoulders above the rest: The Honest Guys.

The Honest Guys produce marvelous videos and they’re completely free.

Here’s what I recommend to you as an exercise:

• Pick one guided visualization video and listen to it at least 3 times a week. This is perfect as a catnap to recharge your batteries.
• Which each session attempt to access your imagination seeing the visuals described in the audio.

Listen to these videos over and over again. In each session, try gaining clarity by mentally filling in missing details. Soon you’ll be able to lighten up your mental theater.

Here’s one of my favorite videos. I hope you’ll like it too:
