It is a good idea to use after-suggestions, continuing the benefits during later portions of the day or evening. Some of the relaxation was not apparent, either, until Ruburt began to use his body. You can generally expect two kinds of response—one dealing with relaxation, and the other with better functioning or performance.

Coming up the step today, though difficult, actually helped the right leg in its release. You reminded Ruburt of suggestions you gave yourself once. He altered them. Your remarks, however, and his use of them, became an example of creative suggestive behavior, for he seized upon the idea of the luxury of motion, and realized that relaxation is motion. This should be stressed also in your suggestion sessions.

(10:15.) It is quite true to say that Ruburt has hypnotized himself into his physical condition, because in the past to some extent he believed it necessary. To some extent, a lesser one, and with qualifications, you also believed the same thing, and so the suggestions you gave each other tallied. The fact that you are willing to consciously make an effort to change those suggestions is highly vital. That is the change neither of you were willing to make before.
