Interesting Techniques Abound. Here's One of Them -- CPS, Psych, Self

Given how many of the exercises I've discussed on this list rely upon visualization skills, I thought I'd add this particular method (of unknown origin) for strengthening that gift. I've found this one to be effective to the extent that I've used it in the past. But like many exercises, you have to be willing to try it in the first place, and to use it more than once or twice, if you really want it to help you.

"Hold up your hand in front of your face and study it closely, the texture, light and shadows, everything. Then close your eyes and recreate it. Do this over and over.

"Once you get comfortable with this, rotate your hand in your mind so that the fingers are pointing downward, then back again. Practice going towards the thumb, then away from it. When you get good at that, rotate the hand all the way around 360 degrees. At this point, you are doing a complete visualization, since your hand won't really do that!"
