The second step is to put on black out eye covers to block ambient light from passing through your eyelids to totally isolate your minds images from the distraction from eye input.

Jerry I’m not sure if you are aware of the fact that quite a few people have Aphantasia and do not have the ability to see images using their minds eye. Some also can not recall taste, touch or smell. I am part of a study on Aphantasia and it’s much more common than you might know. You can’t just practice, you don’t have the ability.
Thank you for your comment. I understood that about 10% of the population are not great imagers; for those people, there are practices that are non imaginal (where we use our will) to heal ourselves. By the way, do you dream at all, and if so how? - Rachel Epstein
Hi Jerry I do have very vivid and visual dreams. I dream multiple times every night. I just don’t have the ability to visualize during waking hours. I wondered for a long time why I was not able to visualize during meditation. Why I don’t see anything but black when my eyes are closed, even while in very deep meditation or relaxation but now I know that my minds eye does not work the way others does.
@@ShyAnne0829 Hi ShyAnne - though i am not familiar with the meditation practice you engage with, generally meditation is a different state of consciousness than imagining. there is a blog on www.drjerryepstein.org regarding imaginate vs meditate that discusses the differences. One is an alfa state the other theta state (in waking dream for example a deep imaginal practice)....from my experience, also, meditation is a form of emptying, while imagining is a form of filling our senses when they are turned inward to explore different dimensions of reality. Lastly, if you dont imagine easily, dreaming is a great vehicle for self knowledge. our website has an entire section on dreaming. - best rachel epstein

For more info on these techniques see dr jerry's book Healing Into Immortality. .... Some people find non imaginal techniques such as to say "cancel, cancel" when they have disturbing thoughts to be helpful. And of course there is meditation to quiet the mind and access other realms.

Hey sir ! I didn't get all what you mentioned in the last part of the video! We keep on doing breathing cycle and doing imagery in the same time all over the practicing or we stop just right after starting the imagery ?
after you do several rounds (3 is suggested, but i wouldn't get caught up on counting breaths) you then take your attention off the breathing and do an imagery exercise. You will find many imagery exercises on my website, www.drjerryepstein.org/exercises . These imagery exercises, like the relaxed breathing in the beginning, are generally short, taking up to a minute. sometimes longer exercises may take more time. but you dont want to dwell in an imagery exercise so long that your mind wanders away from the experience. If you like this style of imagery, there are several easy to use books by dr gerald epstein you can find under "shop" at the top of the website. best - rachel epstein, director AIMI
Incredible, I actually found this book many years ago. It was one of the few " self help" books that worked! In fact it made a real positive difference in my life. It resolved the issues I had with nightmares. Wonderful to come across the author in 2022!
Can I get good enough where I can simulate people, places, and worlds with enough mental imagery practice? even to the point of not needing to focus too hard on the details?
It is possible, however sometimes the world or place you see might be a bit distorted or changed depending on how good your visualization skills are, or how much youve observed at that place youve been to
You could try practicing by closing your eyes and navigate through your entire house, thats what I did when I was young everytime i have sore eyes which caused my eyes to be shut most of the times

Jumge, Yes, it can be done. To see how it was done, watch the chapter on "Health" in the movie The Secret. Specifically, how the man that crash his airplane did it. Pay close attention to the six words he considers the most significant.
image streaming is an exercise that can help individuals increase their ability to visualize. as the other individual who responded mentioned, it combines faculties of the left and right parts of the brain in the process of visualization. it is something like the relationship between a weight trainer and his/her spotter. with time, it is said people that previously could not visualize without preparation may develop the ability with image streaming.
Hello Dr.Jerry Epstein,How can I correct the shape of my head? At birth,forceps were used which damaged and deformed my skull bones,causing a badly shaped head. It has negatively affected my life in many different ways. How can I heal myself and get a perfect head shape?
You start with an exhalation through the mouth, and then inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth, inhale through the nose, and a final exhale through the mouth (relaxing your jaw and shoulders as you exhale)...then focus on the imagery and not on the breathing - Rachel Epstein
yes you breathe out through the mouth (long exhalation) and then breathe in normally through the nose. by putting your attention first to the exhalation, you reverse how we normally think of breathing (ie to breathe in and then breathe out)...here we are reversing the process and starting with the relaxing exhalation first....long slow exhalations reduce stress hormones in the body and allow you to relax and turn your attention inward to do the imagery.
hi - this imagery teaches you how to sit and breathe for imagery exercises. for actual text/script of imagery exercises go to our website and look under imagery. there are also some imagery exercises on youtube such as the blue sky umbrella exercise.
Jerry wrote many books and put out several CDs with Nightingale Conant that provide instruction on how to do visualizations for various illnesses. There are available at our website www.drjerryepstein.org
Some people are stronger imagers than others, but most of us have an inborn capacity to imagine, and the more you do it, the more you develop your imaging muscle. Images appear quickly and disappear just as quickly. You only need a nanosecond of an image to evoke change. Here are some tips that might help you from my book Healing Visualizations: Creating Health Through Imagery. 1) Look at pictures or photographs of natural settings for 20 to 30 seconds, then close your eyes and see the same pictures appear in your mind. 2) With your eyes open, remember a pleasant scene from your past, then close your eyes and remember these same images. 3) Use your non-visual senses. For example, close your eyes and hear fish frying in a skillet or the applause of an audience or glasses clinking; or close your eyes and physically smell perfumes or essences of varying strengths. What do these smells evoke?
if you can draw on other senses (if you are able to) rather than visual imagery; also you can use drawings and color them in with the intention of healing (for example: draw the illness and then draw a corrected image; you can skip imagery and use processes of will to evoke change within yourself. - rachel epstein

The title and description misleading. This shows how to physically prepare yourself for the imagery/visualization process, not how to actually do it.
