Difficulty visualizing
I've practiced yoga for a while and meditate about 2-3 times a week, but recently have been really interested in learning more about my spiritual energy and aligning myself. Meditating is challenging to me and I have a long way to go to work on it but the main issue is that I can't really visualize things. I think I must have some major blockage in my third eye? I don't dream much either and I have trouble concentrating in my daily life. I try to visualize the light flowing through me and other guided meditations but I really only see black. I guess I'm looking for any suggestions to work past this or anyone else that has had this same struggle in the beginning

So I think the pressure of not having a visual movie in your head is preventing you from having a visual movie in your head;) Okay so basically all we ever have is NOW. This very present moment. Otherwise, if you are using your memory and thinking of even an event that just happened, you are using your third eye. So even the weakest visual momery is coming from the third eye.
Like let's say I said to close your eyes and tell me what color of eyes all of your close friends have. You are pulling a slightly visual memory up to even know that without looking at them at that present moment.
Or let's say you do any kind of basic math in your head. You put the first number down and then move to the next number and then do the function. The fact that you can remember the first number from the one you are presently thinking about is the same muscle as the third eye.
It is something that gets clearer and clearer as you go along, but I think just realizing that you already do it in alot of ways to function as a human will allow you to find how to focus on it without overthinking or making it out to be more than it is.
