4 Ways to Supercharge Your Imagination
Many people complain that they do not have a good imagination. That they are unable to visual with clarity. I always point out that everyone of us has an excellent visual imagination -many times which just do not know it!

How? Let me ask you a question.

What colour is your front door? To answer that you have to go inside your mind and picture your front door and then answer my question!

Here are 4 of the best examples to use to enhance your visualizing ability.

1. Starting from whatever is visible with closed eyes.
Me. "With your eyes closed you may see simply a colour. Black, grey or pink. Just keep your eyes fixed on this and after a while you will see changes. What can you see?"
Client. "Mainly grey, with blotches."
M. "Just keep watching. After a while you will find that you can see something through that mistiness."
Client. (After a while.) "There was a cheese sandwich passing by!"
Me. "Fine. Keep watching. Something else will happen soon."
Client. "There are some trees. And nearby there is a big house."
Me. "Which would you like to explore first?"
And then you can continue.
Of course we have no control over the first thing to appear. The main thing is to build on whatever happens.

2. Starting with a house.
Me. "I want you to let your mind roam over houses. They can be old or new. They can be big or small;
castles or cottages. Ones you have seen and ones you have never seen. After a while one will seem somehow more interesting than the rest. I want you to tell me once that happens."
Client. (After a few minutes.) "I am in front of a large house."
Me. "Is the front door open?"
Client. "Yes."
Me. "How about going in and exploring?"
Client. "OK."
And then you allow him or her slowly to explore the place room by room.

3. Starting with a blank TV or film screen.
Me "I want you to picture as well as you can a blank screen: TV or video or cinema. Tell me when you can."
Client . (Pause.) "Fine."
Me. "Is it TV or what?"
Client . "Yes."
Me. "OK. Now imagining that it has just been switched on, wait and see what programme will appear."
Client. "It's Friends."
Me. "Great. tell me what is happening."
Later on you can then introduce the following line:
Me. "Now how about changing channels. There may be one which features YOU in it."
Client . (After a pause.) "Yes, here it is. I seem to be acting the part of a soldier in a war."
Me. "Who is with you?"
And the exploration can continue from there.

4. Starting with an actual memory.
Me. "I want you to remember something - anything - from your past."
Client . "OK. I can remember a day on holiday a few years ago. I was sailing."
Me. "Were you alone?"
Client . "No, with some friends."
Me. "How was it?"
Client . "I remember a storm, in which we nearly got drowned."
Me. (After getting some description of the time.) "Now if it had been a story things would have been even more dramatic. I wonder if you can imagine it as a story, or a film. There may be other people with you.
The boat could be different. And so on."
Client . "Well, I suppose if it was a story we might have hit a rock or something."
Me. "Right. Picture that and then tell me what happened next."

The whole point in these exercises is that you never know what is going to happen next! You need to be flexible and to be able to improvise. But in each case you work with what you have been told and keep the friend's attention on what is happening with a few questions.
