In using the following directions the
only caution necessary is that before the
hypnotic sleep merges into natural slum-
Der the sleeper is apt to answer uncon-

gently asked and thereby reveal secrets
that might perhaps cause domestic dis
turbance. But the innocent need have
no fears. Lie on your right side; close
the eyes gently; forget that the lids are
barriers to seeing, and turn your eyes
inward and downward so that you can
see your breath as If it were vapor leav-

air. Then watch it return up the nos

your powers of vision until you seem ac-
