summoning up
Bringing to mind
Summoning up is the act of calling forth something from within—memory, courage, strength, or emotion.
You summon up the nerve to speak, summon up a mental image, or summon up enthusiasm you don't quite feel.
The phrase suggests deliberate effort to produce something not immediately available: She summoned up the energy for one last push.
