Try imagery or a nonvisual alternative · D6.1

Imagine a comfortable setting

You would like an optional imagery break.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a real or invented setting you find comfortable; you can describe it in words instead of picturing it.
2. Add one detail you choose, keeping your eyes open if preferred.
3. Return attention to your actual surroundings whenever you want. Stop if the imagery is unwelcome.

An example

I describe a quiet chair by a window without needing a vivid picture.

Reflect

Was imagery, description, or neither useful?

Next time

Keep only details you like; the exercise does not establish real-world safety.
