Question on visualization

[Blahhh]

I heard alot about visualization (aka mental rehersal) and how athetes use it to great results. Of course, Don Juans can benefit by getting such skills.

I have the habit of visualizing myself in 3rd person view. So say I am visualizing myself taking a random corner on my motorcycle. I would visual myself leaning into the corner with my knee out, as if I am watching myself from another person' point of view. I think I can benefit more if I visual myself in 1st person view instead.

Question: Do you visual yourself in your "own" eyes, or in 3rd person prespective?

I visualise from my own perspective. Dont know why, its just what I do!!!

I like to visualize myself in the experience as it's happening so I usually visualize 1st person. Although, Is also helpful to get a few 3rd person visuals just to see how your doing. There's psychology theory that says people monitor their reality based their constant awareness of their facial expressions. So in any given situation there is a chance that you're looking at yourself from the third person while you are in the situation if that is your style. So if your putting yourself in the situation as best you can then you're likely to be looking at yourself from several different angles, under different lights etc. I think that the feelings in creative visualization are more important then where you phyisically see yourself so focus on getting the feeling where you want it to be.

Kinda weird, I was reading "Creative Visualization" by Shakti Gaiwan today and I stop by this thread.
