Liana, I have been using Sam Harris' app Waking up for 10 minute mediations and find it very helpful on many levels. From my conversations with "phantasics" I believe that aphantasics start with an advantage when doing mindfulness meditation with our eyes closed.  We don't have to fight off all the intrusive imagery that they do and can readily become aware of the present and also can more easily "see" when intrusive thoughts arise - not as much background noise to disguise them.
