I have found in attempting to strength train the imagination and visualization ‘muscles’ of the brain, reading books with powerful scenes or imagery is very helpful.
(Dont discount quality fiction, sometimes it has greater power to speak truth than non-fiction)

Elie Wiesel - Night
One of the best works of nonfiction I have read.
A great read when you are going through tough times, and a painful reminder to count your blessings. Someone, somewhere, is probably suffering as much or far more, and if you look throughout history, exponentially so.

I wonder why Dante designed hell in the shape of (Samsaric like) circles that spiraled downward???
