Exactly, the trick is to find the right image or metaphor to kick start the process. In addition to Tony's plumber's wrench, another example would be Brad Behn's "imagine you are blowing through a narrow straw." Of course the mouthpiece is not a narrow straw, but if the image gives you what you're looking for, then you don't worry about that. Remember the old saying, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth." Don't look too analytically into the mouth of a good metaphor either. It's not what's in the metaphor that counts but rather how well your body picks up the metaphor and where it takes you. Finding transportive metaphors is an important part of the pedagogy of teaching.
