I recently became aware for the first time that one of my best friends has aphantasia (difficulty bringing to mind mental images), so out of curiosity, I played around with different approaches, rather than visualizing something that represents patience for me, which I would typically find very easy. I went with words/ people that I associate with patience, and recalling a time when I was patient and the felt sense of patience in the body. It's hard not to overthink that, or get caught up in stories, but I feel like I could stand to explore that a bit more. Any other suggestions?

I agree about his voice- such a compassionate and calm presence <3 I also like what you say about feeling patience in the body
