NLP - visualisation and submodalities

[Matt Rogers]

For some reason I cannot seem to visualise. Well I sort of visualise, in that I can remember details like th colour of my car, and I can see fleeting images in my head, but when it comes to creating focused images for more than a split second, for techniques such as mental rehearsal and swish patterns, I cannot see anything.

Any help much appreciated

Man, you must be doing too many drugs.... nahh just kidding.
Honestly many people have that kind of a prob, maybe ur simply more of a feelings or smell person?? Either way I remmember there was a story on one of the BSSHSC Cds, where guy was SSing a girl, but she said she couldnt hold the images in her head, so he goes "Ok, u know that knob that controls how strong and vivid ur images are?" she goes "Yeah."
He goes "Ok , so now simply close your eyes, take ur hand out and turn up the knob" she did it and she was fine after that/ SSed . Im cramming 2 much info into my head at the momment but i remmember there were more things you could do so try something like that or look it up on some NLP site/book,

Activities that get you to visualize will help you with this. With practice, the more you visualize, the more capable you become at visualizing more to your liking.

When reading a book, you will often encounter a description of scenery, or the local area. The author will also describe sounds, feelings, and less frequently- scents and tastes. In your case, you want to improve your ability to visualize. So, when you encounter a visual description in a book(could be a character, scenery, event, etc), try to create that image in your mind, and make it look very vivid and intense.

Any other activity that involves visualizing will do. To make even faster gains, though, consciously begin to manipulate images and actively visualize, like, hardcore.

I have the same problem, but mine involves feeling. I am great with managing my states, and remembering emotional feelings, but I can't remember the sensations I get from things I touch. I can't experience touch as well as I can sight. But, I am working on it.

Hope that helps.
