thanks - i like those imaging techniques - it works for me when i am mindful during my periods of feeling better .. and really have to focus when i cant see ..so to speak. i am going to beat this ..being that i cannot tolerate a/depressants .. it is very useful - nature is wonderful for me - just breathing fresh air and hearing the sounds of nature all around when outside - i take it in deep. when i am inside i use candles - lots of them and enjoy the fragrances. . it is when i get stuck and cant do these things ..i get stuck until i pick myself up and make myself do theses things..which can be difficult at times.
