As we have learned, Brain Plasticity can be greatly influenced by "visualisation".
Not everyone finds it easy to visualise an actual images within their own minds eye.
The "second" best way to improve your visualisation capabilities is to look at a picture, than close your eyes and visualise that picture. Open your eyes again, look at the picture again, and visualise again, and you do that .... again and again, till you have mastered the mental art of visualisation.
By now you may be curious about the best way to improve visualisation.
The "First & Best Way" to improve visualisation, and at the same time experience other beneficial profound effects within yourself, is to actually draw a picture, colour it in, and than you do above visualisation exercise.
That gives you the best of both worlds, good visualisation and a relaxed meditative state.
Relaxation, and a meditative state, relieves stress.
Helps to access the Alpha brain wave for regeneration and creativity.
It is an enjoyable way to get into mindfulness.
Self-appreciation and therefore Self-esteem.
Inspiration for new activities, drawings or paintings.
May inspire you to take up art and develop creative abilities.
Improve hand - eye coordination, and fine motor skills.
Increases attention span and ability to concentrate.
.. and finally; "you will be able to visualize", and support yourself with visualisation therapy.
To take this one step further, esp if you start to enjoy the art and drawing, join an Art Class ... or an Adult Colouring In Class
