In addition to the Exercises given to you in the previous lessons—the Star Exercise, Relaxation, Silence and Contact—there will be given to you this week a new Exercise, STIMULATION.
The object of this new Exercise is to teach you to use nerves, to contact Universal Life Energy, and by the reaction of Universal Life Energy in its stimulation of all cells and tissues, to make those wireless stations function ever more strongly. This Exercise will help you also a great deal in the work of harmonization of your physical body. It is performed as follows:
When making the contact with Universal Life Energy try to feel the Force pouring in through every hair and nerve. You will perhaps perceive it as a tingling sensation, a feeling as if the hair were trying to stand on end. Think of your body as perfect, strong and harmonious. Do not try to localize or make specific that harmony, as the activities of your Individuality may not at all coincide with your idea of what they ought to be. Think harmony as a general condition, and leave it to your higher self to see that its expressions are tempered with that harmony as they emerge into and through it. That way you will discover that what comes out is really best for you.

DEAR FRIEND:
This lesson will give you a thorough understanding of how to use Universal Life Energy in your daily life, at home as well as in your office, in the country as much as in the city, when doing inspirational work like painting, singing and playing, and in the laboratory doing research work or probing into the Universal Intelligence for new discoveries.
No matter what your activities may be, first of all and above all, you need energy without measure to start and complete your work. You need to have your intelligence operating at its best to be efficient. You need discernment, a sense of truth, in order to be able to discriminate between the right and the wrong, and you need the power of harmonization in order to adjust matters the way they should be.
