Perhaps this is so simple I don't realise it and am expecting it to be more complicated, but when it says to picture your - in my case base - chakra and spin it/align it so that it is pointing upwards, does it mean exactly that? Picture it? I.E. have the image of a vibrant red pyramid pointing upwards and spinning in your mind until it stays upwards and spinning quickly by itself?
I ask because picturing things in my mind is very difficult for me; I don't have a very vivid imagination and trying to picture someone's face, for example, someone who I might have seen plenty of times is still very, very difficult for me to do clearly and vividly. It's especially true in that the longer I haven't seen them, the harder it becomes for me to picture them. Yet when I am dreaming - that is when I can remembered that I actually have dreamt - things seem so real; I can feel things in my dreams, as well. It's just while I'm awake I can't picture things clearly and vividly. So is it literally picturing a vibrant red pyramid shape in your mind while focussing on the base chakra and pointing it upwards and spinning it?
Along the lines of me not being able to easily picture things, I noticed when I was trying this, the (not very vibrant nor vivid) red pyramid wanted to squash down/collapse then invert to being upside down instead. I don't know if that's just my (lack of) imagination or what. I wonder if me having to be shown how to do something rather than simply being told has something to do with it, as well. - I am more a visual person than a hearing person; I have to see and then try and do, rather than listen to what someone tells me.
By the way, I did a couple of breathing exercises prior to it to try and help me concentrate. Now I feel a bit light-headed.
Thanks.
