Visualization help?

Does anybody use visualization to help with stuttering? Like visualize something calming, or soothing or to imagine that you are not anxious but are doing well-do you use that to get through blocks-stammers?
I suppose it is like meditation, which I am never quite sure I am doing right. I do have these mantras or phrases that I say to myself or in my mind, like that often heard ohmmmm but also will say words like oo ahh ung which is very relaxing! It really works for me to keep my mind occupied and then I can then talk slower and calmer I will imagine/visualize being in water and floating on the waves or currents or in still water. When I was going through speech therapy for stuttering as a child-teen, the therapist had me do this image where I was a bag of sand that is being emptied and I am letting that sand out and it is releasing the tension.

Hi,
What ever works best for you just keep it up and practice. I remember I always start off with "pretty much"...etc. One of my co-worker start to pick that up and ask me why I say "pretty much" I guess it was a phase I use to start my speech. But once it was caught on I knew I have to go do something different. So I try to use different words... I guess it's all practice make perfect. Now I really don't think I have a stutter issue, and just go with the flow. If you think about stutter, stress about stutter, be nervous...etc then you will stutter. Sometime it may also help if you look at yourself in the mirror and try to talk to yourself. Why is it ok for you to talk to yourself but not other. We are all human... It's something that you must believe that you will overcome and you will. =)

That "pretty much" sounds familiar, i would start off a sentence too with welll or something to get it started. I do look in the mirror and talk to myself! But I dont really focus as an aid to help stuttering, well maybe, I practice what I will say on job interviews as my boss at the DVR -division of vocational rehab)suggested. It IS easier to talk to myself and to my daughter, I never stutter with her, although I do stutter with my parents. You are right about that-belief will really help me to over come, that is one thing I am working on-believing in myself
Thanks Neko

I don't know if this will help but I try to see the end of the conversation and not putting too much thought in the middle...if u know wat I am talking about, I have gotten better with talking on the phone with strangers over the last few years but for some reason it's worth a laugh that telemarketers get me and I am not comfortable and start stuttering...
coming bak to u, if wat u are doing is helping u keep it going... take care
