The significance of a blindfold

[AaronOswaldEdwards]

Hello all

I’m rather new to much of this, but I am trying intensely hard to have successful vision journeys... trances... whatever you personally wish to call them and am having some very intense visions.

But one question is on my mind, after much searching on the internet and reading through a large amount of literature, I often find the recommendations of using a blindfold instead of simply closing your eyes ?

Is there a reason for this ? I don’t know why, but I feel oddly awkward sitting alone in a blindfold but would be very willing to use it if there was a reason or perhaps idea behind it ?

I’d be very grateful if anyone had any insights

Thank you

Aaron
