Why can't I see anything when I meditate?
There is this condition called aphantasia. With it, you will have difficulty, or be unable to visualise... you can do some online tests to see if you have it, and then potentially find a fix to it, or find a replacement to visualising when meditating. Something else you can do to achieve the same effect.
What do you picture while meditating?
Visualize the person you want to extend compassion to - yourself, a loved one, a not-so-loved one, or even a pet. Picture them clearly and hold the image in your thoughts. Think of how you feel about this person. These feelings might vary from deep love to animosity. What's the difference between meditation and visualization? Meditation is restful while visualization is active. We have a theme: Do less, accomplish more. Visualization, on the other hand, is more active. We guide the breath and mind in a specific direction for a desired result such as a mindset, a feeling, or a body sensation.
