Lesson 40

W-pI.40.1.

W-pI.40.2. You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably find it more helpful if you do. ² However, you may be in a number of situations during the day when closing your eyes would not be feasible. ³ Do not miss a practice period because of this. ⁴ You can practice quite well under any circumstances, if you really want to.

⁶ Another might take this form:

⁹ If only a brief period is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God will do.
