all feeling in my left arm ....

Continuing from my last post...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

all feeling in my left arm . . . from my shoulder down to my finger tips.

Now my left arm is so numb and so heavy I cannot lift it no matter how hard I try.

" B.

Now quickly think of your right arm.

Concentrate all your thoughts on it. Say under your breath: "My right arm is becoming very heavy and very numb.

I am losing all feeling in my right arm.

" C.

While you are thinking about your right arm, make one quick try at lifting your left arm.

You will find that you cannot lift it. It will be so relaxed that all you will feel is a tug from the shoulder muscles.

Make only one quick attempt to raise the arm.

Note: Aside from being the key to complete relaxation and sleep, this exercise demonstrates an important principle in sleep therapy.

If your conscious mind gives you a suggestion which you believe implicitly, and then turns to something else, your body cannot help but automatically respond to the suggestion.

Therefore, when you tell yourself your arm cannot move and you believe it, you cannot move that arm.
