On “What do typical visualizers experience?”
If someone says picture a pink elephant at a circus I see black. Everybody's version is different.
On “Ten years ago I suddenly lost my excellent ability to visualize”
I lost my visualization in 5th grade. Used to dream in series over many nights like a continuous TV series. Had several endings where I almost died, but woke up instead. Then black nothingness. Haven't visualized anything since. At 60 just started to recover some ability to visualize but it's usually blurry and hard work.
On “Alternatives to "mental imagery" in guided meditation”
I meditate daily without visualization. Migrate towards meditation that wants you to quiet your mind. Since I can't see pictures it seems like it is much easier to quiet my thoughts than what I was led to believe. With practice I can now go for long periods of time without a single thought.
