Concentration, Visualization, Location - Chakra's

Here we are looking for information regarding visualization, experienced practitioners of yoga and Chakra visualization, your advice is valued! Stick around!  I'd like to firstly talk about single pointed concentration. We are typically told to "concentrate on the third eye" (or whatever Chakra it is)...however, does this mean one should concentrate on the *mental image* of the third eye chakra, or the *sensation* of the chakra's *location* on the forehead?  Also, from which angle do you visualize the chakras (during concentration and kriya pranayama)? When you are visualizing, there must be two points, the point where you are looking at, and the point where you are looking *from*. Ive tried moving *into* each chakra and mentally rising with the energy as it is lifted up the shushumna. Do you maintain one mental perspective? Or switch between multiple? Do you imagine the shushumna from the point of view of the middle of the head? Where do you visualize from, and does your perspective move at all?  Do you see the spine from the side, back or at an angle? And is your perspective raised at all? And what do you actually see when you look at each chakra? Do you see a dot? Do you visualize an amorphic gathering of energy to representitive of each chakra? Are they coloured? Black and White? I've become more conscious that being specific with visualization is key, and I don't see these details being talked about on the forum. What do you see when you visualize? And from where do you see? Do you see the entire body, or just the chakra's and the shushumna?
