I'd say yes to the feeling state and yes to the internal chatter settled to a minimum.
Not so sure about de visual imagery. I guess that's what is evoqued from my use of the term "focus" but what I meant was that whatever stimulus that would have an emotive impact on me (be it visual, auditive or a thought) was isolated and magnified.

This is a bit unrelated to your question but I now remember that I was also afraid that concentrating on anything else too hard might break the state I was in - so I was also careful not to let my mind wander of too much.
