Hi there, my name is Marti and I've just discovered aphantasia. I'm happy to learn other people have had similar experiences as me. I saw a QHHT Practioner over the summer to experience a past life regression. The regressionist asked me to visualize simple things like a red bird, a yellow car, etc. I was unable to see anything but I knew what those things look like so I said a saw them and moved on. (at that point I didn't know that when people visualize things they can actually see them as if they were looking at a picture!) Then she took me through a guided meditation where I was to imagine myself floating on a cloud and when the cloud landed I was told to explain what I saw; the environment around me, what I was wearing, what my body looked like, etc. I told her I saw nothing but darkess and sometimes some abstract lighting. She continued trying to get me to visualize something but I gave up out of frustration. I left feeling disappointed and foolish. My sister on the other hand is able to visualize easily can experience a past life simply from a video online. Thanks so much for the information on this website.
