Faune, this might or might not help, and it's certainly not from my SFQ training in any way--
But when it comes to visualizing, some of my best teachers have taught that not everyone visualizes in the same way. You might be doing just fine.
When it comes to opening the third eye, going slowly with SFQ is perhaps one of the best ways to do it. I had mine opened rather suddenly when I received shaktipat many years ago, and for a time, I seriously wondered if I had gone mad. I thought I was ready for it, but obviously, it might have gone better if it had been done in a different way.
This SFQ method seems designed to ensure against a sudden shock to the system. (But that's just my opinion.)
