yeh well thats like imagining that those phobias of ours are a blurr to us or that by identifying and parceling all your fears then trying to imagine them as balloons floating out the top of your skull will get rid of them for us. I'm finding it difficult to believe there are really any red balls or balloons in there in the first place....although I can understand CB's point, maybe neural activity increases blood flow in certain areas and that some people 'may' be sensitive to this. I don't agree that your red ball is an hallucination.... no more than I would agree that Beethoven, or Dickens or any sculptor, musician or artist has 'hallucinated', I think we call that having something called 'imagination' Kal. Just as an experiment Heidi, could you just roll that little ol' ball from the back of your mind to the front, and tell me what it makes you think about? and will it jog any memories? Is there any change in its colour at all? ta n.
