Hello,

For the life of me I canĀ“t visualize.
Should I work on my visualization skills so that I can do some visualizing during Spinal Breathing?

What I've been doing so far is to simply put as much awareness as possible in the spine and move up and down in that way with the breath. I don't always get tacticle feedback in the spine but the brain and brow center are usually responsive. Is that okay?

Love and Light.

Hi, yes, it seems you're doing it right according to your abilities.
It's possible that in time there will be more awareness and more "resolution" in feeling the spinal nerve.
You're beginning at the root and finishing at the brow, which is very important. Whatever is happening inbetween is ok if you're always favoring the practice.
Enjoy

You're not alone. A lot of us struggle with visualization. I can't intentionally visualize anything with any high degree of success. However, one thing I've noticed is that if you just do the practice honestly to whatever degree you are capable the details will come eventually. I often have visualizations of my inner anatomy now while I practice SBP, but the moment I notice it, it will go away.

8 months of practice, and I am still unable to visualize the spinal nerve. But what I have stumbled upon during my spinal breathing pranayama is the following:
I use ujjayi breathing during SBP, which creates a sound within my throat that is similar to the rumble of distant thunder. Just recently, this sound has begun to create a subtle vibration that seems to be spreading out along my spinal pathway. It is most intense at the throat area, and fades in vibratory intensity as it travels towrads muladhara chakra area...but it is something tangible, and helps me to trace a pathway using the auditory tool of sound and vibration rather than a visual tool.
