While speaking with a new practitioner regarding her practice, which is limited by the fact she has a broken leg and must keep it elevated at all times,it occurred to me that even though you are not physically able to make the movements you can, by visualizing the movement, impress on your sub-conscious mind what the movement is.
Practitioners with limited capacity to move can do the ritual at whatever degree of movement possible, and then see themselves doing the movement. They are practicing by visualization. This will have an effect on the Sub-Conscious and helps bring the body to the place where more movement is possible.
There is a story of a man who was held prisoner for many months during the Korean War. He was confined to a cell that was so small he could neither stand straight nor lie down and stretch out. During his confinement, to keep himself occupied, he would “Play Golf” on the course back home. After the war ended and he was released, he returned home and went to the Golf Course to play. To his amazement his golf game was improved by many strokes. The power of the Sub-Conscious mind– Use It!
