Alexander's Special Exercises to Develop Projective Power
SPECIAL EXERCISES TO DEVELOP PROJECTIVE POWER
I can tell you how to develop the Silent Influence latent within. Will power is the one absolute essential for every attainment. It has carried many over great obstacles. It will carry you if you exercise it. One of the most desirable results of the discipline to which you may subject yourself in the search for Silent Influence is the effect upon yourself. Even if you never use your power to influence another, you will be well repaid for your training time by the remarkable gain in efficiency you will notice in yourself and in your mind. All the power of your intelligence can at any time be turned upon a problem, and the solution will come much more readily than it used to.

Exercise To Control Thought
Start with a Crystal Ball. One of the first exercises I recommend is to fix your mind on a clear or very lightly tinted Crystal Gazing Ball and hold it steadily for five minutes. If you think it is easy, try it. Time yourself. Take a palm-sized Crystal sphere, hold it in the hand, think about it, turn it around. Usually it would claim your attention for a fraction of a second, and it is no mean feat to compel the mind to think about nothing else, for even so brief a space as five minutes. Practice upon it until you are perfect with it. It is the greatest step you have to take. Your will and your confidence in yourself are both strengthened. It is comparatively easy to consider an interesting idea or object. In the test of concentrating upon a Crystal Gazing Ball, the mind is prone to wander, to glance aside at things, to flit from one thought to another as idly as a butterfly. You must overcome this tendency. Command your attention to dwell upon one object at a time and compel obedience. This is the foundation work in all mental training and too much stress cannot be placed upon it.
Learn to think well. Hold your mind true to the intelligence you command. There should be no lapse in your practice after you fully understand the importance of controlling your thoughts.
Your body supports your mind. As the body is the channel through which the Will expresses itself, due heed should be paid to the body. The condition of the body, its cleanliness, comfort, proper food, exercise, clothing, and times of rest, should all receive the mind's attention. We use the voice, eyes, and hands to reinforce the thought. But do not forget that it is the thought that carries your suggestion; without it, gestures and language would be meaningless.
Control your breath. A most important thing is to learn to breathe correctly. Take a slow breath, inhaling for seven seconds. Breathe from the abdomen, through the nostrils. In cold weather you will find that it sends the blood coursing through the veins more rapidly and that it has a tendency to warm the body. Practice control of breathing on all occasions, and at all times, not for a month or a year, but for a lifetime.
Control your voice. The voice must be faithful messenger of the Will. Do not mistake loudness or shrillness for earnestness. Your voice should be firm, clear, and distinct as it conveys your mental thoughts to the listener.
Control your gaze. When using the eyes, look directly and unflinchingly into the eye of the other person. Sometimes the one you are trying to influence will look away. Try to get him to look at you again, or, failing in that, look at the root of his nose, between his eyes. If that fails, it is often noticed that if one looks away from the person to whom he is talking, that person will instinctively look at him again. Bring your eyes back instantly if he does and do not let him wander.
Control your hands. The hands should carry out the impression to be conveyed by your words, your eyes, and your voice. When you shake hands, do so with a firm grip, retaining the other hand just enough longer to internally say "Amen" and then let go. To retain it too long causes the other to wonder and to arouse suspicion that you are trying to influence him.
Mind your manners. Social graces will have much to do with your success. A frank manner, indicative of honesty of purpose, will open the door to the confidence of others. What you have to suggest will then be received with equal candour. A false move on your part, however, will put people on their guard and destroy the value of your mental suggestions.
Language is not your only medium of expression. The architect uses stone, wood, and iron; the sculptor uses marble or bronze; the musician uses sound. Language is more flexible than these, but in all of them it is the Thought that has interest and permanent value. The vibrations started by one idea are as different from those set in motion by another idea as one written word is different from another. Also, just as poor penmanship is difficult to decipher, so do weak thoughts make no impressions, or only blurred ones. If your Thoughts are direct, legible, and forcible, they will stand out in the other's consciousness as clearly as a chiseled inscription.
