Introduction to Imaging




“These images are like finding pockets of gold in the psyche. This is a whole new and deeply relevant approach to mental
and emotional health.”

maging is very easy. The process is the same for all images. The fact that one image may have three instructions and another a dozen is irrelevant, you don’t have to memorize the instructions. Once you see an image, it will still be there when you go back to it after reading the next instruction.

It is best that you read all of the instructions prior to beginning so that they will be familiar to you. The instructions are not complicated, and if you need to look at them again while you are imaging, feel free to do so.

This should not affect the quality of the image.

nce you are in a good place mentally and physically to see an eidetic image, you are ready to begin. Remember, an eidetic is neither mere memory nor a figment of your imagination. An eidetic is an image recalled from the storage of visions in your mental bank. It may be of the lover you met last month or the parent who died thirty years ago. How long it has been in storage is not relevant.

Keep in mind that the eidetic contains three individual parts to it: the image itself, which can be vague or vivid; the somatic/emotional response or feeling that accompanies it, and the meaning revealed by it.

The emotional response may be very subtle or it may be earth shattering..

ometimes people experience very profound emotional responses they will laugh, cry, feel great joy or intense anger. Other times, the response may be much more subtle, such as a slight tension in the stomach or chest, a vague feeling of coolness or warmth, feeling ill at ease, or just feeling good.

Meaning refers to the insight you gain from the image. It is an automatic function of the image and you do not have to dig for it. If the eidetic is there, the meaning will also be there. Often times it is an Aha! revelation, a sudden insight and understanding that shouts out to you "So that's what Jack or Jane is all about! So that's why I can't do this or that, so that's what he means, so that's why she's so distant.”

Other times, it does not strike like lightning or flash like neon sign but is a generalized sense of knowledge in which you gain information about the situation or person you are imaging. The image may be vague or vivid.

The important thing is that you understand and leave yourself open to see the image, feel the image, and gain insight from it.

You begin the exercise by finding a quiet place where you can completely relax and can sit or lay comfortably. You may keep your eyes open or closed, which ever you prefer.
