In 1998 I took the photoreading seminar and was given a demonstration of the image streaming as a technique to do. It was suggested that you do it with your eyes closed at first, to eliminate the distractions of all the other objects in the reality you are in. I always made images better with my eyes open and so the image steaming with eyes closed was bothersome to me at first. I took the time to do it like that, however, daily for almost a year. Now, I am a Reiki Master teacher and practitioner and I find that I can see the images of peoples lives as I work on them better when my eyes are open, and I can see their spirit forces or angels or whatever anyone wants to call them better with my eyes closed. Also, energy fields are sometimes easier to see with the eyes closed. But, if you are unable to close your eyes comfortably, try going into a closet or as dark a room as you can get, take your tape recorder, and start talking! It offers a wonderful means of healing once you begin to develop it, not to mention it uplifts your spirits, mind set, attitudes and you name it! It cannot be beat as an exercise on a daily basis!
