By entering into a sleepy, drowsy state, effort is reduced
to a minimum. The conscious mind is submerged
extent when in a sleepy state. The reason for this is that the highest degree of outcropping of the subconscious occurs
prior to sleep and just after we awaken. In this state the negative
thoughts, which tend to neutralize your desire and so prevent
acceptance by your subconscious mind, are no longer present.
Suppose you want to get rid of a destructive habit. Assume
a comfortable posture, relax your body, and be still. Get into
a sleepy state, and in that sleepy state, say quietly, over and
over again as a lullaby, “I am completely free from this habit;
harmony and peace of mind reign supreme.” Repeat the above
slowly, quietly, and lovingly for five or ten minutes, night and
morning. Each time you repeat the words the emotional value
becomes greater. When the urge comes to repeat the negative
habit, repeat the above formula out loud by yourself. By this
means you induce the subconscious to accept the idea, and a
healing follows.
