definition

image: Close your eyes. Breathe deeply and slowly, in and out three times. See and feel yourself as a far older person than you presently are. Experience the heaviness of the body and the dryness of the skin. Notice that this condition that you considered "old" is not a function of passing years, but the result of being in some subtle way all used up. Something like a ninety year candle, whose wick was too big, causing it to burn down in thirty. Feel the sadness that this image brings to you. Realize that this hasn't yet happened and recognize the sudden feeling of determination that it shall not. Let yourself ponder the image of yourself as a candle flame and your body as a staff of wax. Feel yourself relaxing as you come to understand that it is your adrenal glands that control the equivalent of the size and trim of your own personal wick. Allow an image of your adrenal glands to appear before your eyes. Which of the two is the healthier and which needs your attention first? Reach gently forward with your hand, to stroke and mold each gland, as if each image were itself made of wax. Keep working gently, until each gland looks perfect and balanced and smooth. When you have finished, take pleasure and satisfaction in the knowledge that your adrenal gland, will now serve you correctly, keeping you burning brightly for each and all of your many, healthy and productive years. Take all the time you need, to celebrate this knowledge and then allow your eyes to slowly open once again.
