        Like the others shared here I too have aphantasia. But I do have a vivid auditive imagination.

        So I often play tunes in my head on repeat. For example: the first 25 seconds of this song, the part before the vocals. It’s short, so when I recognise my thoughts wandered, I just restart.

          I see, I have the opposite problem. I have songs constantly playing in my head and they always pull me back out of the present whenever I try.

            We’re trying to achieve different things I think? For me it’s not meditation to be in present, ot’s more a method to lessen the madness coming from overstimulation, thinking 20 things at the same time, achieving none.

            Perhaps you do that method naturally already? :) I have to practice
