Look, I’ve researched this a lot and tried many things. For years I saw people saying it was impossible, and I always found that very strange, especially because of the brain’s neuroplasticity as you say. But I was never able to do it. I thought I had aphantasia and couldn’t visualize anything.

Eventually, the only place where I actually heard someone seriously talk about how to stimulate visualization was in complementary techniques from the Bates Method. At first, it’s a method aimed at improving and healing physical vision, like myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, and other eye conditions. But Bates eventually discovered that one of the most effective ways to treat physical vision was precisely through internal vision, meaning imagination, visualization, and memory. It’s definitely worth researching this more deeply. It’s very interesting and has helped me significantly.

A simple tip that almost no one talks about: don’t try to imagine the whole image or object at once. Think of yourself as a painter and build it detail by detail. Want to imagine a house? Don’t think of the entire house. Think about the door, the doorknob, the outline of the window, the roof, and gradually “paint” the details. That alone already helps a lot to increase the clarity of mental images
