Indeed, sometimes the best approach seems to be "If it works, do it."I think that's sequel of the visual capabilities of mind eye and its occurrence is some I don't must to avoid. A let's go policy is the most natural and smart.
Not for everything, but for this it has been helpful.

I was clear that energy work is not visualisation but more re-creating the feeling of touch - tactile imaging. You imagine the sensation felt, rather than the visual act of seeing the sponge touch your body.
having said that, I still have to start of "seeing" the sponge action in my my mind, I can't start off just be re-creating the sensation.
It's kinda weird, it's like when you think of moving your finger with your eyes, closed, you can't see it move, but you can feel it move.
I still have great difficulty, in starting off energy work by tactile sensation alone, I have to say to myself, OK "focus on my left foot", and also try to imagine it as it I was in the shower in with a sponge on my left foot.
Are there any tips to increase tactile focus on body parts, or do people just tell themselves to focus on their, right foot for example?
When I lie down, I have to say "left foot" then Imagine my hand moving from where it is, and stretching and reaching my "left foot" then doing the sponging action - is this what other people do?
How do other people instigate focus on an area? After all isn't tactile imagint supposed to be easier then visulisation?
Just recently (after two years of Robert Bruce style energy work) I've spent longer doing the standard energy raising techniques. I realize now that all of my time and patience has paid off in increased sensitivity in my energy body.
My understanding of the sponge action is fairly basic. I imagine feeling my energy body as I believe it is, a light transparant material, almost like clean white mist. Then I feel the sponge like a screen passing through the mist pulling or stimulating it very gently and calmly. Now, after doing approximately two hours of tactile energy raising, my arms and legs begin to really tingle of pulsate. I associate my success entirely to the tactile method.
The tactile method, for me, results in seeing my energy hands after I have (on occasion) reached an altered state. I think even though we don't 'see' our energy hands during conscious energy work it doesn't mean they are not actually there doing the work. If the energy hands are really there doing the work I find it more effective to feel them then to waste mental power trying to visualize the hands. My goal, ultimately, is not to become a proficient visualizer but to srengthen and energize my body for OOBE's.
So, my conclusion is that it is generally better to feel the location through tactile stimulation than to visualize the energy hands or sponge actions. That's my experience. Hope it helps! [/i]
I generally imagine a wet sponge being brought over my body and the water being left to cause the sensation? Almost as if you are left with a damp sensation which stimulate energy (electrically for me is how I imagine it) and then can evaporate away or be absorbed in. I guess we all have our own techniques.
