Dear David, >> Are grounding exercises (such as the visualization in lesson 1 of the Self-Healing Archaeous) effective due primarily to imagination, or is it more useful to practice within certain physical conditions, such as being barefoot outdoors as opposed to being indoors surrounded by synthetic things and artificial electromagnetic fields? << It's effectiveness is due primarily to imagination and *will*, but both of these are greatly enhanced if you can indeed be standing barefoot upon the ground. :) My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 27 Dec 2004 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
