MAQ artists often work with the visualization of their subconscious. Visualization has tremendous power, because the human brain does not distinguish between fictitious events and real events.

For the brain, imaginary events in the mind are reality. This fact has long been approved and demonstrated. Mental visualization was used in the Apollo flight preparation program. The astronauts were connected to a special piece of equipment and they traveled a certain distance in their imagination. Surprisingly, all the astronauts have activated the same muscles and in the same sequence, as if they had really traveled that distance. The heartbeat of the astronauts accelerated, although at that moment they were completely still.
