👣 Begin with your toes and think of each part of your body as perfect; picture it so in your mind, touching each part if you prefer to do so. Pass upward bit by bit until you reach the head, thinking of each as perfect, lacking nothing. Then think of the whole as perfect, an instrument, given to you by God to enable you to attain Truth; the vessel, in which you are to cross the ocean and reach the shores of Eternal Truth. When this has been done, take a long breath through both nostrils, throw it out again, and then hold it out as long as you comfortably can. Take four such breaths, then breathe naturally and pray for illumination: "I meditate on the Glory of that Being, who created this Universe; may He illuminate my mind". Sit and meditate on this ten or fifteen minutes.
