FAQ for Users
-
How and why does visualization work?
-
There are many scientific studies supporting the power of visualization. Mental practice (rehearsing a skill in your mind) can actually improve physical performance.
-
Brain imagery studies show that when people imagine a movement, the same areas of their brains are activated as when they perform that movement.
-
By repeatedly activating the motor networks for a movement without actually doing the movement, the communication between the neurons associated with that movement is strengthened.
-
Simply put, neuro-pathways are reinforced by imagining actions.

-
What are the benefits of listening to prompts to form mental images?
-
Audio prompts help a listener focus on the mental exercises. Guided imagery facilitates the listener’s practice by providing appropriate time for the listener to create detailed pictures in his/her mind.
-
Although many people believe in the power of visualization, they do not have the tools to develop a focused mental imagery practice on their own. Everyone’s mind wanders during mental imagery practice—it is natural.
-
Now there is a revolutionary resource, ODIBODI, that helps minimize distractions and keeps users on track with guided visualization. ODIBODI’s ever-expanding library of exercises provides critical support for developing a consistent mental imagery practice.

How many times do I have to listen to recordings to see a benefit?
-
As the saying goes…practice makes perfect. The more you listen to recordings, the more effective the exercises become.

-
How can I make my own exercises and submit to the ODIBODI library?
-
You can record your own Odi under "My Odis" in the app, and email the file to contact@odibodi.com.
-
Alternatively, you can submit a typed outline for an Odi under "Submit your Odi" in the app, and we will convert it into an audio file.
