My shoulders are growing very heavy. My neck...
Continuing from my last post...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My shoulders are growing very heavy.
My neck is growing very heavy.
And now ... my shoulders and my neck, and my head have become so heavy ... I cannot lift them, no matter how hard I try.
" B.
Now concentrate your thoughts on your legs.
Say to your self under your breath, "My legs are growing very heavy and very numb.
I am losing all power to move my legs.
" C.
While you are thinking about your legs, make one quick try at lifting your head.
You will find your neck and shoulders are so relaxed you will not be able to lift your head.
This then is the Round Robin exercise you are going to master.
In the past chapters you read a lot about it. We have spoken about "mastering" the Round Robin.
You will have mastered it when you can actually feel your limbs getting heavy and you are unable to move them.
Once you have achieved this ability you can eliminate Steps B and C in each exercise for you will know without testing that you are getting the desired relaxation.Thus, the Round Robin will eventually become simply a matter of telling your arms, legs, neck and shoulders that they are relaxed-and they will automatically relax! As you practice the ABC Round Robin you may find your self sleeping lightly at the conclusion of the exercise.
This is a natural aftermath of your relaxed condition.
Now you are going to learn how to prolong that light snooze into a night of restful, refreshing sleep by practicing what we refer to as the "Sleep Exercise.
" After you have completed the Round Robin, keeping your eyes closed, say to yourself: "I am very sleepy and very tired and this bed feels so comfortable that I will sleep right through until the alarm goes off in the morning.
Nothing else will awaken me." Then say to yourself: "When I awaken in the morning I will feel completely relaxed.
I will feel completely relaxed and refreshed and I will have a wonderful feeling of well-being.
I will have an irresistible desire to do my work and do it well tomorrow.
" Now turn your eyes inward and imagine that you are looking down the side of your nose, but keep your eyelids shut.
Imagine it is a winter day and you see your breath going in and out of your nostrils in the form of vapor.
Watch that imaginary vapor.
As you are watching the vapor, say to yourself: "I am drifting into a deep, sound sleep and nothing will awaken me until morning.
" As you watch the vapor go in and out of your nose, you will fall into a light sleep in which you will still hear sounds around you, but they will have no meaning.
Keep watching the imaginary vapor, and from this point on, you will progress into a deep, sound sleep.
Within a few weeks (whatever time it takes you to master these exercises) your sleep problem will be solved for all time.
If you need refreshing in your exercises, you can always refer to this book.
Keep it handy on your night table.

Continuing from my last post...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Concentrate all your thoughts on it. Under your breath say these exact words to your self: "My right arm is becoming very heavy . . . and very numb.
Now it is so heavy and so numb that I am losing all feeling in it ... from my shoulder down to my finger tips.
Now my right arm is so heavy and so numb I cannot lift it no matter how hard I try.
" B.
Now quickly think of your left arm.
Concentrate all your thoughts on it. Under your breath say, "My left arm is be coming very heavy and very numb.
I am losing all feeling in my left arm.
" C.
While you are thinking about your left arm, make one quick try at lifting your right 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.
NECK AND SHOULDERS: A.
Concentrate your thoughts on your neck and shoulders and body.
Say to yourself, "My body is now growing very heavy.
