Creativity Technique - Excellent!
Image Streaming In A Nutshell
by Silvia Hartmann
As "Good Companions" to Project Sanctuary go, a finer friend than image
streaming is hard to find. An extremely useful creativity technique I would like
to introduce is a method of increasing conscious - unconscious communications
quickly, to be better able to visualise, and to be able to generate
representations quickly and at will. This technique is Image Streaming by Dr Win
Wenger.
Here is a message from the inventor of Image Streaming, Win Wenger, as to
where to go to learn more about the image streaming this technique and how and
when image streaming originated:
"I was playing with forms of image streaming without realizing it in 1973 and
first identified it as such in about March of 1974, and have been learning about
it ever since. My first publication of it was in a booklet called Voyages of
Discovery, in 1975, later subsumed into the 1979 book Beyond O.K.--Psychegenic
Tools Relating to Health of Body & Mind (both publications--Gaithersburg, MD:
Psychegenics Press)."

*Summary of the Image Streaming process from: The Einstein Factor:
"The procedure of Image Streaming is deceptively simple. You sit back in a
comfortable chair, close your eyes, and describe aloud the flow of mental images
through your mind."
Three factors are absolutely crucial. I call them the
1. You must describe the images *aloud*, either to another person or to a
tape recorder. Describing them silently will defeat the purpose of the exercise.
2. You must use *all five senses* in your descriptions. If you see a
snow-covered mountain, for example, don't just describe how it looks. Describe
its taste, its texture, its smell, and the sound of the wind howling across the
peak.
3. Phrase all your descriptions in the *present tense*.
Close your eyes and describe out loud anything you can *see*. To begin with,
this may just be sparkly bits now and then, swirls, a colour going by, that kind
of thing. If you have sincere trouble with getting the process going at all, use
an after image from a bright light to start you off on this first step.
Keep describing out loud what you see, this aspect is vitally important to
engage certain parts of your neurology. Do this for about five minutes at a
time, then stop. Do not censor what you *see* to begin with, and do not try to
control it. Do not be disappointed if at first all you get are vague
impressions; the image streaming process improves immeasurably with very little
practise.
Later on in the image streaming process, you can use it for problem solving and
a great many other things besides; this is achieved in Art Solutions fashion by
posing a question before the stream of mental images begins.
Practising image streaming on a regular basis increases intelligence, and
opens up whole new channels of communication within your own neurology.
FEAR of what you have seen, or what you might see, is the greatest BLOCK to
image streaming success. I highly recommend beginners in image streaming to have
the free EFT protocol to hand to release fear, get over blockages, soothe
frustrations and generally smooth out the beginner's bumps in the road to
wonderful image streaming using this EXCELLENT creativity technique.
