Joanne Smith explains how the brain processes imagined events the same way it processes real ones, making visualization feel vivid and real. She shares a story of a woman who thought she couldn't visualize until she tried, then was shocked at how powerfully she could experience imagined scenarios.
Like, the thoughts are so powerful that the senses will experience it as though it's a real-life experience, as though it's really happening. Everyone can do this. I know you might think that you're the special one that's not able to, and recently there was a session with a lady who actually was really worried that she couldn't do it, and she got a massive, amazing, like, wow, I didn't even know I could do that! I've never ever knew that I could do that, and that was a really lovely moment, especially if someone was a bit worried, like, oh, I don't think it's going to work, or I don't think I'm able to do it. But ultimately, a thought can be, is so powerful that you will imagine it and feel it like it's happening in real time. They're both processed the same way, whether it is happening in real time, whether it's an imagined, neurologically it gets processed in the same way.
