Oh, interesting! I’m unmedicated and I have severe aphantasia too, visualizing anything more than a shadowy figure/outline that barely moves is a completely hopeless task.
I try to imagine physical sensations (e.g., a light breeze, ocean waves, etc.) instead, but the effectiveness of the actual meditation isn’t great. I’ve actually had a lot of success with relaxation by way of hypnosis videos on YouTube, though.

Another possibility is doing a ‘body scan’. It grounds u and u dont need to visualise anything,
Which is a big part of mindful meditation, paying attention to what is going on right now so imagining things isn’t even necessary!
