instructions to Patients
! Her instructions to patients are very in
I teresting. They read IN part as follows:
Il wish you To go alone for fifteen min
/ utes each day and hold yourself receptive
! To my thought, as If you We're quietly eX-
/ pecting something pleasant to come TO
/ you.
Fix any time for these sittings you
please; but after you have fixed the time
! want you to be as punctual to it as you
can. If your time is unavoidabiy inter
fered with, then take the earliest oppor-
tunity afterwards.
do not make any great effort To fix
your thoughts on me. but trust me TO
draw your thoughts to me; l can do 1t
for you better than you can do it for
yourself If your mind wanders do not
try 30 force il back; leave it free. If you
become drowsy give way to the feeling;
do not antagoniZe 1t. l Will take care OF
your condition, whatever ii IS.
"The first requirement during the time
you sit for treatment is that you relax
yourself; take the nerve tension of your
muscles and your mind, and let yourself
down into an attitude of perfect ease
and caTclcssuess; as If you did not care
how things went: did not even care
whether You are sick or not. This atti-
tude releases your thoughts from your
disease, and gives my thoughts a chance
to come in and cure YOU.
Giving Nerves a Rest.
Moreover, by this letting yourself
down, as il We're, your poor, tired nerves
that have been carrying the whole load
of your burdensome thoughts viii have a
chance TO rest. and they need rest 50
badly: they become relaxed and in this
relaxed condition they become obedient
TO nv thought and begin 20 take sides
with my thought IN casting out ana
building up.

Transmission of Thought.
IF you are sie~uc for treatment for an
4 other person who is being treaties without
his or her knowledge. You must hold the
thought that you are the medium for the
transmission of my thought to that per-
son: YOU must hold both the person ana
myself In your thought and feel that
you are the link in the chain between
us. / often treat persons most enectiVeiy
I vvftbOut their know ledge.
Drop from your mind all responsibility
of Yourself or your own case. Feel that
YOU have nothing TO do for yourself
that YOU are expected to do nothing for
Yourself but that | will and can do all
that need be done for you. Relax both
mental and physical tension as much as
possible Do not be in q strain OF either
mind or body over household duties, bus
mess matters or any other duties or mat
ters whatever Drop all cares, worries,
anxieties. fears and apprehensions and
inst rest-absolutely rest-in the feeling
that my strength win enter and sustain
Won In this attitude of relaxation, in
this tensionless condition, my strong pur-
noseful vital will force will enter and flow
through YOU, as the breeZeS sweep
through the trees. carrying away all neg
ative-all diseased conditions. Your tenn
ple will be swept. garnlshed and refur-
nished and the burden of the change Will
not rest upon you. The attitude OF relax
alton which | am trying to make plain to
you, and which / desire you enter. does
not offer any conscious or unconscious re-
