BEGINNING THE AP EXPERIENCE / REMEMBERING
|
||
|
||
|
||
Stretch, take a good deep stretch, all through your body. Slide down
|
||
in the afterglow of that stretch, into a relaxed position.
|
||
|
||
Holding that afterglow feeling, reflect back on how it feels to be
|
||
relaxed, as if you were in bed at night on the edges of sleep (though
|
||
this time you stay AWAKE and don't miss the fun). If you are already
|
||
trained in some form of meditation or Astral Projection, reflect back
|
||
on one of your BEST experiences of meditation or AP, and how that felt.
|
||
If you are religious, reflect back on how it feels to listen in prayer.
|
||
|
||
Whichever experience you reflect back on, remember it more and more
|
||
completely. Remember more and more clearly what it feels like, what
|
||
elements in the experience go along with that feeling.
|
||
|
||
Remembering an experience re-creates the mental and physical basis of
|
||
that experience. This is why you are already virtually back in the
|
||
quality of this experience you are remembering, this experience you are
|
||
remembering more about, more and more clearly.
|
||
|
||
While remembering the feeling and quality of this experience, now
|
||
slowly breathe in deeply and breathe out deeply...3 to 5 times, and
|
||
just let your muscles go a little more with each breath out, relaxing
|
||
more deeply.
|
||
|
||
Become more aware of what you are feeling and experiencing within you,
|
||
and become more aware of your surroundings. It's surprising how much
|
||
of a mental picture you can build up of your surroundings, just from
|
||
what you can hear.
|
||
|
||
Taking about six seconds to do so, breathe in slowly and very deeply.
|
||
|
||
Exhale as slowly and deeply. With your lungs empty, try to blow out an
|
||
imaginary candle a foot in front of your face - that's how deeply you
|
||
should exhale.
|
||
|
||
Go on inhaling and exhaling as deeply as you can, very slowly, six
|
||
seconds or longer each way.
|
||

||
May you find the joy and happiness that you deserve...and also utilize
|
||
this text to your advantage. If you know someone that could benefit
