oh! That's good to know! It's nice to receive these details - it fills in the gaps Thank you!

I have noticed in my meditations that the images often appear at certain locations of my visual field - either on the right or left side; looking up or looking down. I remembered that in Psychology, NLP and Body Language, it means certain things when a person looks in certain directions, and was curious if this could be applied to where the visions appear during meditation. I'll put this helpful chart here to refer back to:
This is the chart for when you look at the individual (so your "right" or "left", not theirs)
RIGHT + UP = Visual Remembered
RIGHT + SIDE = Auditory Remembered
RIGHT + DOWN = Internal dialogue
LEFT + UP = Visual Constructed
LEFT + SIDE = Auditory Constructed
LEFT + DOWN = Kinaesthetic
(Memory aid: Right = Remembered)
(So it should be the mirror image of this on yourself - but actually I think I'm finding for me it works as above strangely! )
Looking back at previous entries, this adds new understanding to how the visions are working. It seems images of things I'm familiar with, like objects I've seen before (like the walnut), are forming on the right upper side, and images that are original imagined pictures (like the time I saw a vision of something taking off into the sky right above me - something that never happened) are forming on the left upper side. Seems to apply successfully to visions then! And the time I heard the word "napalm" came from the Auditory Remembered area - which makes sense since the word sounded familiar, like I've heard it before. It works! (well in mirror image to how it's meant to, but still! )
Very interesting!
I'm aware this will add another thing to try not to get distracted by during the meditation But I guess that just means I'm gonna have to level up my meditating skills!
