The exercises themselves then help combat negative suggestions on both of your parts, for you are reassured by any progress. Ruburt reacts to the reassurance that you feel.

I suggested a change in the morning ritual, and suggest you both consider this. In other words, the exercises are suggestion, and at this point the best kind.

The idea of physical activity on her part instead of suggestion. 3. I was curious to know something about the mechanics behind Jane’s slowed-up movements after she had been quiet for a while. That is, after she had been sitting for, say, half an hour, she was slow in getting up and under way, etc.
