I still can't visualize the crystal ball after two meditation sessions
That is not unusual because sometimes different people take different lengths of time at first to see the crystal ball. It doesn't mean that you have made no progress, because it's not the crystal ball which is our real aim in meditation. What we really aim for is peace and happiness, isn't it? Pay attention to the centre of the body and keep the awareness there. The longer and more continuously you keep your mind there, the more happiness and peace you will create. Finally, the crystal ball will come, and you can pass through this state into a higher one.
