Rag Doll Exercise

  Man occupies his own narrow niche in the enormity of the universal electromagnetic spectrum. All your body systems run on the energy your nervous system’s electrochemistry produces by coverting Light into useable fuel for the physical range. We present the mystery of this energy conversion for your pondering:
  "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; and the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates."–Genesis 2:10-14.

How to Be a Rag Doll

  If you have ever handled a rag doll, you know that all the joints are seamed so they collapse as soon as any weight is put on them. The body of a rag doll is boneless, utterly floppy, and thus symbolizes perfect relaxation and the ability to let go or release all tension.
  To resurrect the body requires coordination between your desire and will to surrender self, and physical relaxation. People have learned to relax their muscles but still have tight nerves. Some relax their nerves but their muscles twitch, and others have ligaments that draw. When you exercise such coordination, ligaments, nerves, and muscles all relax.
  So, true relaxation is a combination of coordination as described, plus surrender of self and using the rag doll movement: Stand with your arms out, clench your fists and all your body’s muscles. Relax and let your shoulders, arms and hands hang down loosely.
  Raise your arms slowly over your head, arching your head, neck and shoulders backward until you have stretched your spine as far back into a bow as possible. Then suddenly go limp, relaxing and bend forward from the waist as far as you can toward the floor. This loosens your nerves and muscles.

When to Be a Rag Doll

  Before lunch, reach for the stars, breathe deeply, and use the rag doll once or twice to keep the spine well-separated and the Power flowing up and down your spine. This will aid your digestion and prepare you well for the afternoon’s work. Reach for the stars often throughout the day. This helps you to contact the Source of all Light to refuel.
  Do the rag doll exercise three times every night before sleeping. Also you can sit on the edge of your bed, put your head between your knees and breathe deeply.
  You can also use the rag doll exercise to relax the sphincter muscles in and around your eyes, which is an excellent treatment for relaxing your eyes and improving your vision. Consult Dr. William Bates’ Bates Eye Exercises for more information.
  Before you go out for a busy evening schedule or just to clear your mind, use the rag doll exercise and follow it with this refreshing relaxation treatment.

Relaxation Treatment

  Remember, your body cannot fully relax while the brain is still wakefully active because of the amount of light in your environment, which energizes you. So, you will need a soft "bandage" that is about four inches wide to wear over your eyes. You need it to be wide enough to cover the middle of your forehead to below the bridge of your nose.
  Silk is the best fabric because it is a natural insulator, reducing heat loss or shedding heat, depending on the room temperature. Silk also does not interfere with the body’s electrical system. Choose at least a yard of black or very dark blue silk, preferably a soft Mulberry, Habutai or Pongee silk.
  Fold it in layers, down to the width you need; be sure you cover half your forehead above your eyes. You can use cotton pads (not synthetic fiber) over your eyes to prevent light seeping in from below. Adjust the bandage until you are comfortable wearing it, until you no longer notice that you are wearing it.
  Lying flat, relax your body and use your imagination to "see" or to "think" yourself out onto a cloud-soft bed of Light. Know that your guardian angels accompany you. When you feel as though you are floating away, send your consciousness "out" with your body of Light and your guards. This treatment is the perfect way to prepare yourself for soul vision.
  If you fall asleep, remember to remind your appetitive soul that you need to awaken in time to keep to your schedule. Declare, "I shall need to awaken at 3:00 p.m." Name the exact time you need to awaken. You can use this method as a treatment for insomnia, too.
