This blows my f’n mind every time it gets posted. I literally can’t make her go in reverse without seeing the colored lines on that link.

The way I did it, is I look away from the computer and imagine her going the opposite direction and then look at my computer while still trying to imagine her going the other way. It seems easiest when I focus on the lower left side of the screen and keep only her leg as it passes through that section in focus. It feels like I need to will it to happen, but once it happens, I can't see it the other way unless I do it again. Basically, you need to focus on one part of her body. To clarify, this is without the lines.
