I haven't used rewind therapy but I've been able to use EMDR even without visuals. It is more difficult and time consuming but I use the things I do have access to, like body sensations, limited emotions, spatial orientation, and thoughts that arise. It requires a little bit of a leap of faith to process things without the visual component. I can describe more what I mean if helpful.

I haven't had the patience to engage consistently in meditation but I have seen some visual imagery while meditating...always plants or landscapes that are from memory and experienced hearing a string of music in my mind from one of the beethoven sonatas, recreated perfectly. Normally I cannot hear music in my head. So I think there's the potential there, except in these states my experience of both the music and the images has been still that it is not under voluntary control. I cannot choose what I want to see or hear.
