The objective is to complement the information feeding my Filter, and counterbalance the inputs from my Ego. The more physically relaxed I am, the more my Filter will have another perspective on the threats around me.


The following exercises can help my body achieve so:

- At the end of the day, once in bed, take a few minutes to check how I am.

- If I am tense, I can take deep breaths and relax my body as the air comes in and out.

- If 2 parts of my body are tense (and it has to be 2 for the trick to work!), then I can close my eyes and concentrate on these 2 pain points to make them go away. I can shift from one to the other, or stay on one, then shift. What my attention does at first is that it amplifies the physical tension, until it magically makes it go away. It is therefore stressful, before it is a relief.
Before I start, I should thus tell my Ego that nothing bad will happen (so it does not panic as the pain increases before it goes away!). Useful too to remember that this process never lasts more than 2 minutes. No thinking is involved, just to focus on the 2 parts of my body that are tense.

- Before falling asleep, I can also tell myself how I would like to sleep. For instance, ‘I want to sleep deeply and wake up rested’.

- Last, before I get up in the morning, I can take 1 or 2 minutes and ask myself how I would like to live the day, and immerge myself in this sensation. So I have at the back of my mind this feeling throughout the day.
