straight forward (starting position). Now execute power breathing in three stages: (a) Slow inhalation.

At the same time move your out-

stretched arms to the side, fists clenched, until they are in a horizontal position in relationship to your body. (b) This is followed by slow exhalation. At the same time, move your arms downward on both sides until they are perpendicular to the ground. (c) Take a breather. At the same time, move your arms forward into the stretched starting position. All movements must be executed in slow motion, and each of the above (a, b and c) breathing exercises should take 10 seconds. In the beginning, use a watch. During the entire exercise, the arms have to remain stretched and the fists clenched. 3(a)The Object Exercise: Take a small object into your hands, such as a tin soldier, doll, photograph, a small picture of a landscape (a postcard), etc. Look at the object from all sides as meticulously as possible. Do not think of anything but you and the object. Pay attention to every detail and imprint it all upon your mind, even the least important thing. Then close your eyes and seek to recall that object so clearly, in all its finest details, that you have it, so to speak, tangibly in front of you. Make the effort until this condition occurs. As soon as this happens, open your eyes and compare the picture in your imagination with the real one. Correct any deviations. Repeat this experiment with the same object, then repeat it in the course of the day with other objects of your choice, but do not use objects that are too large.
