Visuospatial Sketchpad

We can image scenes or experiences from the past or imagining the future because of the visuospatial sketchpad.

Notes

The visuospatial sketchpad is the mind's eye.
You can imagine scenes or experiences from the past or imagining the future because of the visuospatial sketchpad.
It is a slave of the working memory.
It has two main components: the visual cache that stores the image and the inner scribe that rehearses and replays visual, spatial, and motion data.
People that suffer from aphantasia can't visualize images in their heads.

Endocrine Glands and Chakras Correlation

Yoga looks at chakras as the body's energy points, which has the almost exact location of the hormone-secreting glands of the endocrine system. These glands connect your mind and emotions to your body.

It's a process of getting things out of your head and into objective, and reviewable format.
