Awakening the Will

by Harry Palmer

The will awakens slowly from sleep. At first it feels overwhelmed by the turbulence of thoughts that buffet it. Its initial attitude is: “Just tell me what you want, and I’ll do it.”

Objective: To decrease mind drift, daydreaming, self-criticism, indoctrinated thinking, by awakening the will.

Expected results: Calming, perceptual changes, increased awareness.

Instructions: 1) Take a walk, 2) notice something, and 3) decide how you would describe it.
    Move on to something else and decide how you would describe it. Continue the exercise for 20 to 30 minutes. If at any time you become aware of being distracted, just return to the exercise without any self-criticism.
