Subject: SI and H Experimentation, Wednesday, 17 October 1951.

On Wednesday, 17 October 1951, Messrs. and the writer condugted experiments in SI and H-with and

In view of the fact that S capacity for attaining a true SI state had heen consistently questioned for some time by and the writer, it was decided-that the Messrs entire séssion was to be devoted toward obtaining at least a light SI state im was used in the tests primarily to give confidence. ability in obtaining deep SI and consistently maintaining such has been previously established.

Accordingly in the first attempt, used a commanding-approach and directed full attention ok land to obtaining a complete body catalepsy. did not respond at all to these suggestions, obtaining no depth hatsoever and coming awake in a standard "falling" test. n the other hand, while not fully completing the "falling" test, nevertheless maintained a complete SI state throughout.

Since the induction had been in a very slow and deliberate manner, consuming from 15-20 minutes during each test, it.was decided to conclude the evening's work.

not

Slow inductions are/necessary on the part of Since she is capable of obtaining quite rapidly an
excellent deep SI and the only reason for cortinuing this
work with her is to assist in helping gain
confidence in her ability to attain a true SI condition.

it is believed, regained a great deal of lost ground during this session and her three inductions appeared entirely successful. She, herself, admitted that she had, in each case, attained adeeper state than she had in many sessions previously. Further work along this line of slow deliberate induction technique appears necessary before she can be tried on more advanced experimentation
