This is how... - Page 21 This exercise is designed for those who think too much. The objective is to create a diversion to occupy your mind with something far less stimulating than your thoughts. You may face difficulties following Dodow's exercise at first, feel free to practice this exercise through several sessions.
- Page 22 FOCUSING ON THE LIGHT. This is only for those still struggling with the breathing exercises after four sessions. The objective is to both use the hypnotic power of the variation of the luminous intensity to help you let go, and the visual focus to oc- cupy your brain.
- Page 23 Should I inhale when the halo of light expands or when it shrinks? You should inhale when the halo expands and exhale when it retracts. The exhalation seems longer than the inhalation, is this normal? Yes, the exhalation is deliberately longer. Indeed, with slow breathing, and when the exhalation is longer than the inhalation, more CO2 is released.
- Page 24 Since this attempt is doo- med to fail, it will only leave you feeling more frustrated… and less likely to fall asleep ! Dodow, after 8 minutes, will help you let go of your thoughts – they will no longer be an obstacle to sleep.
- Page 25 Will Dodow disturb the person lying next to me? If the person’s eyes are closed, they will not be disturbed; if they do the exercise with you, they will fall asleep very quickly. I tried once and it didn’t work, is it normal? Tests have shown that the first attempt is seldom conclusive.
