Fera
I read the importance of meditations and how crucial it is to become a free and completed soul. But I have aphantasia and I can't visualize anything. Meditations I do aren't so effective and I can already feel that.
So what am I supposed to do? Why was I blocked from advancing from the start?
Everyone starts their spiritual journey from a different place. Despite your shortcomings, you can still easily meditate, perceive, and feel. Likewise, you might be much better when it comes to yoga. You can achieve the absolute best with what you have. This applies to all of us
You can meditate on your 6th chakra, its extensions, and practice visualisation practices to overcome this. Cleaning the upper chakras is very important, as are purification circles with this area as the focal point.
everyone has shortcomings on this path. one way to help with your problem that you could try is either printing off or looking on the computer the picture of what your trying to do. The chakra meditations have pics and you can use that to help give your mind a thing to start with- a kind of copy and paste. this of course will take time and practice, you could also look up for videos on what your condition is to help you better understand it and figure ways thru it- each person is different so note down how your condition presents itself so you can personalize how to get thru this. You can get around this it's not something impossible.
One thing that is a positive for you and should really help your path is that Void meditation may be much easier for you. since there is nothing to visualize. plus Void meditation is important to do.
Good luck.

Greetings, I am pleased to tell you this is nowhere as hopeless as you may feel it is.
Read this post from HPS Lydia on how to deal with aphantasia:
Aphantasia is caused by a defunct back 6th chakra extension. We figured this out years ago by other members with it, they worked on that chakra, and then were able to visualize.
The image on the left on this pageExternal ↗, are the ones to focus on, and here is a diagram of the 6th chakra and extensionsExternal ↗. Just breath in energy to the area and will it to open and heal your back 6th chakra extension.

i have tried this but since i cant visualize its hard to stimulate the 6th chakra , the only chakra i can feel is the third eye if i focus on it but then my eyes feel like they turn inside the head , its hard to describe but it feels strange.
ive been practicing falun gong every day for 3 months 50 min movements 25 minutes meditation , but still cant visualize anything.

Perseverance, brother. Good on you that you already started. Keep pushing even if you don't notice any improvements, because they shall come if you stay on the path. Consider switching up approach if this doesn't work, feel free to ask our SGs and our dear High Priestess for pointers.
I must agree with others here, start where you are. For example High Priest gave a suggestion, to visualize white gold light, go sit in sunlight, close your eyes and use the natural light behind your lids for the visual.
We have another member that created animations of all the meditations, for a visual. I will get the link for you. Sounds like you would be amazing at void meditation! The Gods will help you, just like anyone. I wish you the best one this unique journey ❤️
Aa mentioned in my pre ious comments, here is the link.
The visuals this member created for meditation may help in the meantime, if you would like to view their project, the show a candle burning, chakra spinning and other meditations to help with the visual
You weren't blocked from advancing, this is how people are when they start meditating, their soul reminds them that you have this, this and this problems that you have to fix (like illnesses) then you advance spiritually, and when you are strong enough you start fixing them. If you can't visualize the light for cleaning then use physical feeling like when you are in front of the Suns rays, feeling the warm feeling around your self and you can use the mantra of the Sun Surya, Raum to rise your energies and programming it to clean your aura and chakras, for this you don't need to visualize just vibrate in yourself and affirm while concentrating on yourself. 9x 18x 27x are good vibrations for beginners. Use number 7 for affirmations, thats for cleanliness. And sit with your face and front of your body in the direction of east for better effects. For aphantasia empower the back extension of the 6th chakra as was said.
For advancement widouth visualization you can do Hata Yoga and Kundalini Yoga, Yogic breathing exercises...
Have success and good luck.
