Chant Visualization I & II
CHANT VISUALIZATION I & II
Since the days of the first oral story tellers, it's been known that story tellers can develop extremely vivid imagery in their mind's eye simply by describing scenes aloud and in sensual detail. In the late 1970's I learned this firsthand when I wrote Western Novels and spoke them aloud before commiting them to the typewritten page. Later I found that chanting sensual descriptions aloud developed very crisp and detailed images. Rythmic chanting engages unconscious processes.

CHANT VISUALIZATION I
Here are the steps for Chant Visualization I:
(1) Gently pinch your right nostril shut and breathe through your left nostril only for 12 deep and full inhalations and exhalations. When you've concluded the breaths, remove your hand and resume regular breathing. Ask yourself the following questions and feel the responses in your body. Take your time
(a) Which is more relaxed your right right arm or your left arm? Just note the difference and move to the next question.
(b) Which is more relaxed your right leg or your left leg?
(c) Which is more relaxed the top half of your body or the bottom half? Proceed to step (2)
(2) Roll your eyes clockwise, then counter clockwise (Just once). Close your eyes for the remainder of the exercise. Hum what ever appeals to you. Let the humming do the humming. There is no concern about musicality here. Just hum for a minute or so allowing your unconscious to make up any tune it prefers. Then to engage the rest of your senses briefly: Picture a door, taste a sour lemon, feel what you'd feel if you stroked a cat or dog's fur, and smell perfume. Each of these senses is only engaged for a few seconds each and imperfectly. It's just to activate the brain's various sense centers prior to Rhythmic Chant Visualization.
(3) Gently palm slap (7x) the occipital area on the lower back of your head. "BL-10" on acuxo.com. Now choose any object, scene, or event you would like to visualize. Picture, feel, hear, taste, and smell what you intend to visualize.
(4) Rhythmically chant all the details of what you're visualizing. Rhthmically chant more and more detail. Don't talk out any of the details as this is liable to make you think and slow the process. Just go over and over rhythmically chanting the details of your objects and events. Before long you'll have some very sharply detailed objects and events. (Event review works on the same principles of paying attention to an event and running and rerunning to make it more detailed.) Rhythmically chanting, which comes from our deeper intuitive side, helps us create visual images with greater detail and clarity.
CHANT VISUALIZATION DRILL II
Here are the steps for Chant Visualization II
(1) Gently pinch your right nostril shut and breathe through your left nostril only for 12 deep and full inhalations and exhalations. Then remove your hand and resume regular breathing. Gently palm tap (7x) on the occipital ridge located on the bottom rear of your head. Ask yourself the following questions and feel the responses in your body. Take your time:
(a) Can you notice the space within your body.
(b) Can you notice the space outside your body.
(c) Can you allow the space outside your body to expand. Can expand past the room...past the building you're in...past your city or town...past the Earth...Past the solar system...Past the universe.
(d) Can you now notice the space both within you and outside you. Can you you allow any boundaries between inner and outer to blink out?
(2) Rhythmically chant all the details of what you're visualizing. Rhthmically chant more and more detail. Don't talk out any of the details as this is liable to make you think and slow the process. Just go over and over rhythmically chanting the details of your objects and events. Before long you'll have some very sharply detailed objects and events. (Event review works on the same principles of paying attention to an event and running and rerunning to make it more detailed.) Rhythmically chanting, which comes from our deeper intuitive side, helps us create visual images with greater detail and clarity.

TIPS ON USING CHANT VISUALIZATION.
*Take your time and learn each segment of the process.
*Place your palm on your heartbeat region during the process will make intuition more available.
*Hydrating yourself improves performance.
*Chant Visualizations can be used to:
-Create imaginal scenes for emotional targeting.
-Evoke crisp memories for emotional targeting.
-Make images of future situation we'd prefer to have happen.
-Create images that assist us in locating solutions.
-Evoke scenes for skills practice.
-Make images useful for working with health issues.
-Dialogue with objects in scenes for solutions.
-Essence States.
-Journies into the unconscious.
-Much more.
*Tapping with two fingers (7x) on the outside of the eyebrow (Side nearest ear) can further stimulate imagery like the occipital tap mentioned earlier.
