Episode 11: Visualizing vs Knowing: A Discussion on Aphantasia and Psychic Abilities
In this episode of Aphantasia Experiments, Robin shares an episode from her new channel, Psychic School. Robin delves into the fascinating topic of aphantasia, a condition where a person is unable to visualize things in their mind's eye. She shares a personal story of her own experience with this condition and her curiosity about the different ways people receive information.
Robin explores the idea of non-visual meditation and sound healing, sharing her own experiences where she "knows" things but cannot visualize them. She invites listeners to reflect on their own ability to see movies and still images and asks if some people do not see images at all.
The episode also features a discussion on dreams and the ability to recall them visually, giving the listeners a chance to chime in with their own experiences.
As with all episodes of Aphantasia Experiments, the ultimate goal is to explore different tools and practices to develop intuition and psychic abilities. Join Robin and fellow listeners on this enlightening journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.
Episode 10: Unlocking Memories and Releasing Negativity: A Sound Healing Meditation
Welcome to this meditation podcast, where I will amateurely guide you through a powerful meditation practice designed to help you recall memories and release unwanted emotions and energies from your body. Using the power of sound healing and singing bowls, this practice will help you vibe at a higher level, clear your mind and focus your thoughts.
As we journey together in meditation, you'll feel your body become more attuned to the vibrations of the bowls, which will help you connect more deeply with your inner self. You'll notice as your mind clears and your breath slows, allowing you to fully open up to the power of this healing practice.
Through this practice, you'll be able to recall more memories throughout your day, helping you to strengthen your memory and improve your overall cognitive performance. You may also notice an increase in your dream frequency and focus levels, as your mind becomes more attuned to the rhythms of your body.
So relax, let go of any worries or stress from your day and allow yourself to be guided through this transformative meditation practice. You'll hopefully emerge feeling lighter, clearer and more focused, ready to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead.
I know this podcast doesn't actually talk about aphantasia, but I started doing this practice to try to visualize, and instead I started recalling memories (non-visually). I am hoping that with this practice I might figure out if at any point I could visualize and if something happened in my life to cause it to go away. Stay tuned!

Episode 06: Unusual Guided Meditation Exercise For People With Aphantasia
If you have difficulty visualizing, or aphantasia, this meditation may help you develop the ability to visualize. Through the use of bright lights and other techniques, this meditation aims to help people with aphantasia develop the ability to visualize. I found out I wasn't able to visualize last year, and fell into a bit of a depression. I wanted the ability so bad, and knowing that other people could just make things appear in their brain made me feel so totally JEALOUS. Now I'm trying to develop ways to train my brain via brain mapping, to be able to visualize. After my first attempt describing what I was seeing with my eyes closed I saw a very distinct blue star, now I believe I have the ability I just need to train and develop it. Try this meditation if you are curious about your own ability to visualize!
Episode 05: Exploring Aphantasia Through Signs and Experiments
Aphantasia is a condition where people are unable to visualize mental images. This can be a difficult condition to cope with because it means that people are unable to daydream, visualize memories, or see mental images when they read. Aphantasia can also make it difficult to imagine future scenarios, plan for events, or understand spatial relationships.
There is still much unknown about aphantasia, so I'm taking it into my own hands to perform experiments on myself. Listen along to hear how I've followed the signs in my life to lead me to start experimenting with myself.
During my first experiment, inspired by Nikola Tesla, I had a MAJOR breakthrough; I saw a blue star!!!! Now I am convinced I can train myself to be able to visualize. Keep listening to follow my journey!

In this episode, I discuss how I found out I had Aphantasia and how it has affected my mental health. Aphantasia is a neurological condition in which a person is not able to visualize in their mind's eye. When I found out, my first thought was "other people can do this?" My mind was flooded with questions about how much life would be different if I too could experience life with the ability to form mental images. I felt a deep sense of sadness, as if I had been robbed of something important. I was also deeply jealous of people who could hold on to vivid and lasting visual memories, while I could not.
