Do you ever hum a musical tone when you are alone ??? As I understand the mentioned exercise in Bardons book (and I am as new to them as you, so I might be wrong), it is no different from hearing a tune inside you head without doing the humming. The same thing go with visualisation, from my understanding it is no different than plain old visual imagination. A good illustration would be, if I were to say Donald Duck or Pamela Anderson. Both of these names, will properly create a picture of them in your mind. "All" you do from my understanding of the exercise, is to take this technique and train it so that you are able to hold and intensify the pictures/sounds in your mind. But again I am also new to this, so I might be totally wrong. --- In BardonPraxis@yahoogroups.com, "sineadoconnorfan" <sineadoconnorfan@y...> wrote: > > Everyone does it all the time?
