So far as I'd realised last year, the imagination most people have when kids never disappears, rather it just becomes occupied with the thought process and skills of being adults. Such thought processes gradually shift into the subconscious to become second nature and the result is their world view becomes subject to what is learned in the brain, as well as what is provided by reality.
Also based upon this, the imagination is in pretty much constant use, as a routine and as a natural state of being, stepping out of the routines and being able to analyse or rethink them is probably enough evidence that the imagination hasn't gone anywhere. Only stating that last part as certain things led me to thinking the imagination is no longer available, which is a self fulfilling attitude as it occupies the imagination with the image in itself. And being that the mind exists in a world primarily of information which causes subjective feelings, well the result was it disappearing from the world ect...
Though the main point I'd come to realise is that of psycho-schematic or placebo applied by world view. As through looking into the mind I'd come across some scary things which created a spiral into what I'd say over-active imagination causing intense physically damaging thoughts. Still back-tracked or more forwards walked and managed to shift stuff around enough before it fixed.
Heres a few meditations I've used, redefined a few times or adapted when I found new information ect.
Metta Bhavana, which is a loving kindness meditation, essentially its based upon part meditation and part lifestyle, that by showing kindness or compassion towards people/environment we also heal the world internal to ourselves through self constructive methods ect. It works on a few levels.
One I'd made up myself which I'd found a better definition for is to imagine a ball of energy and fill the energy with a feeling, if it feels right then its ready, if not still needs work, I'd then send the energy swirling into a black dot in the centre at which point it manifests all over within my own psyche. Again should be self-fulfilling, but can also be undone through the same or any other method you dream up.
Another which I'm currently using to attempt repairing the damage my own head had done in a fear state was a meditation on mind, body and spirit. Spirit being a connection point between myself and the world, partly within the body, partly through another medium. In the meditation I'd drop down into the emotional levels of myself and by clearing out the pathways through relaxation get into a trance like state, from there I'd channel that feeling around my body with the intension of unifying and clearing the old or useless away things away, I'd then send this outwards from myself into the furthest parts of myself healing any seperation between my mind and the world and taking away fear, anger or anything else that I found not really productive or nice.
