Introduction

      When we begin to reflect, we discover that we have so many, I would say so very many, things to change - so many that we do not know where to start.

      Well?

      Too much confusion!

      Calm down. Calm down!

      One thing at a time!

      Without hurrying!

      With patience, you can achieve everything!

      Today, unfortunately we lack patience. We all want everything immediately and, even better, for the day before yesterday. Do you know this saying?

      Patience is the virtue of the strong!

      Observing life today, we ourselves and what is happening around us, we realise, with sadness, that the strong are lacking, that is: THE PATIENT PEOPLE.

      We want to become strong. Well? Thinking logically, we must become patient. Either we do things well or it is better not to do them at all.

      OK? Do you agree?

      Whoever does not, please shut this book, do not continue reading it - it’s for those who want to become strong.

      Who of us does not want to become strong?

      No-one!

      That’s the correct answer!

      Goodness – we’ve taken the first step. I was thinking it would be worse You’re convinced! However, we often use the word “patience” in the wrong way, as a justification for our wrong behaviour. The mechanism is more or less like this:

      we are wrong

      to say to ourselves “patience”,

      but then to not do anything to change our behaviour

      â€“ we remain as we were before

      and we make mistakes again,

      saying to ourselves “patience”

      and so on, ad infinitum!

      ! In this case, patience does not come into it: this is not patience. I’ll repeat it again – it’s a justification!

      When I talk about patience I am thinking of Patience with a capital P.

      P

      P

      P

      that is: a planned and constant work on ourselves which brings us to improvement. We can make mistakes, but we don’t want to remain with our mistake, drowning, we commit ourselves to be braver. Braver every day, step by step.

      There you are, now I would like to give you some practical suggestions on where to start. What habits to develop.

Relaxation

      In my opinion, I say it from personal experience, this habit is fundamental,

      I would say the habit of all habits,

      The mother of all habits.

      Because when people become whole inside and outside, they live in peace with themselves and with the whole universe, when they are capable of controlling themselves - their own emotions, thoughts and behaviour, and they understand themselves, well then, yes - everything becomes easier. The improvement becomes a natural thing, gradual and constant, without beating yourself up.

      Why is it so important?

      Because at the same time it helps me change inside and outside. I embrace my whole person, visible and invisible, my body, my soul and my spirit¹. The method that I propose is suitable for everyone, without excluding anyone – a believer in God² and non-believers.

      1st. What must we know before starting?

      1 An autonomous method, that is: every one of us can perform it on our own: it’s a series of exercises in concentration that focuses on various zones of the body, to obtain a state of relaxation both at the physical, and the psychological, level, to increase vital energy and control one’s own behaviour.

      2 Through exercises that we can consider “mental”, we can obtain real body changes, which are capable of influencing our psyche.

      3 The mind and the body are not autonomous and independent, but they are strongly linked, in a relationship of reciprocal and constant influence, for this reason it is possible, through mental activity, to obtain changes in the organic functions and vice-versa.

      4 To obtain psycho-physical benefits, that is: relaxation of the mind and body, the exercise must be repeated constantly, so that it does not become autogenous, that is: that it generates itself, without the concurrence of will, in an automatic and spontaneous way.

      5 To shape your own personality according to desired traits.

      6 Help to overcome negative psychological states: insecurity, fear and depression.

      7 Help to regenerate physical and psychological energy.

      8 Already after a few weeks of the training, we can notice the feeling of well-being, relaxation, calm and self-control that come on their own spontaneously, without any effort on our part.

      To learn the fundamental things about the method, we need at least 6 weeks divided into 6 stages. The exercises must be carried out at the right moment and in an appropriate place, in a comfortable position. The most suitable position is supine.

      2nd. What do we have to work at?

      1 Feel the weight of your body - bringing on a gradual inertia and muscular skeletal relaxation.

      2 Feel the heat of your body - which gradually brings on the smooth relaxation of the musculature and vasodilation.

      3 Mastery of cardiac function (auto-regulation of cardiac frequency).

      4 Mastery of lung function (regulation of your breathing).

      5 Abolition of tension in the organs of the abdominal cavity, through action on the coeliac plexus (autonomous nervous system).

      6 Mastery of the vasomotor regulation in your head (a feeling of freshness on your forehead).
