Try imagery or a nonvisual alternative · S12.2

Choose a format for a comfortable imagery exercise

You are offered guided imagery and want it to fit your preferences.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Decide whether you prefer a picture, spoken description, written words, or an external object.
2. Choose a simple comfortable subject and keep control over whether your eyes are open.
3. Stop or change format if it is unwelcome, without needing to complete the script.

An example

I prefer describing a familiar room in words instead of imagining it vividly.

Reflect

Which format was accessible to you?

Next time

State the preference before a future guided activity.
