We know Ayla calls for you to use your five senses in what my training would call her induction as you relax. In hypnosis this is the key to successful visualization - bringing in all five senses. You have to be able to even taste the end goal. I think this is unique to Ayla's method and if we can bring those five senses in with us to our sankalpa in our minds eye..... But the challenge I think in Nidra is to bring them without dwelling on them. Just know they are there while you take the journey. IDK. Just some thoughts, my perspective so far. Subject to change as I progress.
