COMMENT:
not _
*Slow inductions are/necessary on the part of
mirsince she is capable of obtaining quite rapidly an
excellent deep SI and the only reason for entinuing this
work with her is to assist in helping gain
confidence in her ability to attain a ieSL con tion.
MINIES it is believed, regained a great deal of
lost ground during this session and her three inductions
appeared entirely sUccessful. She, herself, admitted that
she had, in each case, attained a deeper state than she had
in many sessions previously. Further work along this line of
slow deliberate induction technique appears necessary before
she can be tried on more advanced experimentation
