The intensity of interest in other directions is much more important than time. We do not want intense concentration upon the symptoms. In all hypnotic sessions and in all periods of self-suggestion, emphasis should indeed be upon health, exuberance, flexibility, strength and vitality. I mentioned this to Ruburt today, but he thought the idea his own.

Do you have any particular questions?

These suggestions will enable him to see himself you see, in the healed image. Begin to pick up his Willie again, for example. Do you see what I mean here?

Now that the basic reasons for the symptoms have been conquered, the symptoms would disappear in any case, but at a rather slow rate. The suggestions given, applied with intensity, can work wonders in a very brief time. Attention directed elsewhere is extremely important, for energy is withdrawn from the symptoms. A complete change of environment would be excellent of course if it were practical. Changes in the patterns and habits within the environment will do in place of the above, however.

His attention while walking has been centered upon his progress. He should think of other things, even he counts trees and looks about him. Activity is good for him now, you see. I emphasize the therapeutic dreams again. Whenever possible, attention should be directed away from the symptoms. This does not mean he should pretend they do not exist, but they will vanish to the extent that he directs energy away from them.

Now we will close our session. I would be willing enough to do an envelope test, but presume you would rather wait.

My heartiest wishes to you both, and a good evening. Now I will do this evening what I can do for Ruburt while he sleeps, by way of redirecting his inner energies while he dreams. There should be an improvement in the morning, then.
