I have a complication called aphantasia. This mean I have the inability to visualize things, like the common example of visualizing an apple and what it looks like it's color it's weight it's shine it's anything I can't do it. There is a spectrum and I am on the lowest end meaning I cant see anything. I can't day dream or draw but I try. I use references to give me ideas of what things look like.
So with that being said. How can I visualize in my witchcraft practices? I have tried the closest I get is putting words to tactile feelings but never visualizing energy leaving or colors? Is there something else I can do?
Wow... I can't imagine not having that capability (my mind often runs away from me and has to be coaxed back to the task at hand). There doesn't seem to be a lot of information about aphantasia, but what I found interesting was that it's generally considered a condition and not a dysfunction -- and that means it's normal for how you're wired, not something "broken" to worry about or be ashamed of.
Something else that seemed to pop up in the few things I read (your comment really fascinated me because I often have exactly the opposite experience) is that aphantasia apparently does not interfere with lucid dreaming, so that might be a gateway for you. You have to be careful because there's a lot of real trash out there, but if you spend some time reading comments & reviews you should be able to find a number of decent lucid dreaming videos on YouTube. You might even be able to develop your own scripts that you could record & play back at night in bed. That way, even if you're unable to weaken or "undo" your aphantasia, you might be able to work dreamstate experiences into your Craft. Might be worth a try...?
(Note: Depending upon who you ask, lucid dreaming is either hypnosis, a kissin' cousin of hypnosis, or a 3rd cousin twice removed on its mother's side of hypnosis.)
