around the body parts (phase 2). Then operate a countdown of the
breath (phase 3) in a part of the body of your choice. As soon as
you are deeply relaxed, move on to the consciousness of images
(phases 5 and 6). It is when images flow clearly and freely in front
of you that you have reached a state of intense relaxation and a
fast recovery of your energies. Phase 6, spontaneous images, is
therefore particularly useful whenever you want to have a super-
nap.
Often when you are tired during the day, the fatigue is focussed
in one particular area of your body: there is a spot, a focal zone of
tiredness. For instance, it might be somewhere in your back, or
maybe in your throat, especially if you have been speaking a lot.
If you can find this spot and operate a countdown of the breath
there while doing phase 3, you will recover very quickly from
your fatigue.
