Evocation

In Mental Management, one speaks about mental gestures which guide our trainings, they are based on Evocation.

To evoke a real object (object of perception), it is him to give a mental existence in a conscious way. The person contacts this object by one at least of the 5 exteroceptive directions (sight, hearing, touch, sense of smell, taste). She becomes aware of the existence of this object by internally giving herself an evocation which can be visual (iconic image, drawing…), auditive (noise, its…), verbal (words, comments…) or tactile (felt touch…). One can define the evocations as a means of treating information which one perceives.

Antoine of Garanderie known as to have met this term in the psychologists of the school of Wurzbourg. He adds that for him, the " é" of " évocation" is the " é" of " être" , because according to him, “the world has vocation to be in our conscience” and we have “vocation to be in the world”.

In addition, the term was used formerly in the esoterists mediums and mystics, and was opposed to invocation . Etymologiquement, " évocation" comes from ex vocare , in opposition to in vocare .
The idea is the same one as today in Mental Management:

the invocation seeks with " approprier" a force, one felt, one lived without passing by the conceptualization. the purpose of
the evocation was of " to reveal visuellement" an evoked entity. It acted, by a work of naming and visualization, to circumscribe a concept for including/understanding best.

In Mental Management, the experiment of the evocation does not privilege any of the 5 directions, nor even the exteroceptive directions. It is completely possible, and Mental Management affirms that it is there the key of the success of the sportsmen, to evoke on proprioception.
