Step 1: Initiate a downtime state. #

Close your eyes.

Step 2: Take a few deep breaths. #

Step 3: You open the envelope. #

Step 4: Open your eyes, move both eyes to the uppermost right corner, as far as you can reach, hold for three seconds, and return them to their normal position. #

Close your eyes again.

Step 5: Take a few moments to read the letter, hearing the words in your head as if they were spoken by the person who wrote it for you, and accepting whatever your unconscious mind reveals to you. #
