Re: [BardonPraxis] Problem in gett up in the morning

["Rawn Clark" <rawnclark@...>]

Dear Sérgio,

>> Mr Rawn Clark in one message you said that at some point in your
training you used auto-suggestion to surpass the problem of not gett up
in the morning. I am with the same problem, lately is very difficult to
me to get up of bed I would like to ask you or to another member of the
group if possible if can you help me giving me an indication of the
statement to use or any other method to surpass this problem. According
to Franz Bardon the statements cannot have temporary and space
references. The statements I have used did not work. <<

It was so long ago that I don't remember the exact statement but it was
something along the lines of: "I awake refreshed and eager to perform my
exercises". The main thing is to meditate and really focus all of your
will power into your repetition of the affirmation. It does no good to
just repeat it to yourself without commitment, understanding and
intensity of focus. Your statement must also be of a positive nature.
For example, "I will not oversleep" would be an unproductive statement
to use because it is a negative statement.

>> Another situation is that lately have tendency to fall asleep during
the exercises (I do sleep enough). Will anybody know the reason of this
kind of
situation and how can it be corrected? because this only begin to
happen
when I begun Vacancy of Mind. On the previous exercises (Though
Control
and Fixation) this did not happen. <<

You must fight against this becoming a habit. Several techniques that
can be used in fighting this are affirmations (e.g., "I remain awake and
alert during my VoM exercise"), splashing a bit of cold water in your
face immediately before you begin your VoM exercise, and taking several
deep breaths beforehand to hyper-oxygenate your blood. Remember, with
VoM you need to remain alert and aware *during* the entire exercise.

You might also want to try a less comfortable asana. VoM can be a very
relaxing (physically) state which, of course, can lead to sleepiness in
the beginning.

My best to you,
:) Rawn Clark
