not recommended that this time period be extended, and it should W 10 L 5 (18)

The length of the exercise period should also be reduced if W 16 L 7 (29)
the length of the practice period may be reduced to less W 17 L 4 (30)
see ___. Conclude the practice period by repeating the more general W 18 L 3 (31)
selecting subjects for the practice period should be quite familiar to W 19 L 4 (32)

very many for one practice period, because a longer time than W 26 L 6 (45)

latter part of the exercise period, however, more self-inflating descriptive termsW 35 L 5 (57)
You may continue the practice period with your eyes closed; you W 37 L 5 (61)
which you prefer. The practice period should conclude with a repetition W 37 L 5 (61)
your salvation. End each practice period by repeating the idea in W 36 L 10 (65)
Do not miss a practice period because of this. You can W 40 L 2 (67)
them to yourself. One practice period might, for example, consist of W 40 L 3 (67)
confident. If only a brief period is available, merely telling yourself W 40 L 3 (67)
be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as W 41 L 6 (69)
the beginning of this practice period, repeat todays idea very W 41 L 6 (69)
Begin the longer practice period by repeating the idea for W 42 L 4 (70)

Do not allow any protracted period to occur in which you W 43 L 6 (73)
7. Begin the practice period by repeating todays idea W 44 L 7 (76)
so. Spend a fairly short period in thinking a few relevant W 45 L 6 (79)
the remainder of the practice period to offering related ideas such W 46 L 5 (82)
has forgiven me. The practice period should end, however, with a W 46 L 6 (82)
latter phase of the practice period, try to reach down into W 47 L 7 (84)
your review. In the practice period, the exercises should be done W 51 RI 1 (90)
or more to each practice period, thinking about the idea and W 51 RI 2 (90)
the day with a practice period. Thus you will awaken with W 61 L 6 (113)
for a more sustained practice period in which you try to W 65 L 3 (119)
5. For this practice period, begin by reviewing the idea W 65 L 5 (120)
the rest of the practice period to trying to focus on W 65 L 7 (120)
4. Our longer practice period today has as its purpose W 66 L 4 (121)
10 to 15 minute practice period by reviewing these thoughts: God W 66 L 5 (121)
this during the longer practice period today. Think also about the W 66 L 9 (122)
In the longer practice period, we will think about your W 67 L 2 (124)
Begin todays extended practice period by searching your mind for W 68 L 5 (127)
the remainder of the practice period trying to think of yourself W 68 L 6 (127)
the end of the practice period tell yourself: Love holds no W 68 L 7 (127)
in our more extended practice period, let us devote several minutes W 69 L 2 (128)
us begin our longer practice period today with the full realization W 69 L 3 (128)
remainder of the extended practice period to asking God to reveal W 71 L 8 (135)
the rest of the practice period, and let Him tell you W 71 L 8 (135)
the rest of the practice period under Their guidance. Join with W 73 L 10 (143)
5. Begin the practice period by telling yourself the glad W 75 L 5 (146)
dedication with which the practice period concludes: I am under no W 76 L 12 (151)
will have one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in W 81 RII 1 (162)

9. Offer each practice period today gladly to Him. And W 97 L 9 (193)
be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging W 98 L 9 (196)
when you miss a practice period because it is impossible at W 111 RIII 2 (228)
when you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to W 111 RIII 2 (228)
first attempt at an extended period for which we give no W 124 L 8 (251)
do we start each practice period in this review with readying W 140 RIV 4 (311)

2. The practice periods for todays idea are W 11 L 2 (19)
4. Three practice periods today will probably be sufficient W 11 L 4 (19)
today. Nor should the practice periods exceed a minute. You may W 12 L 6 (21)
it except during the exercise periods. That will suffice at present W 13 L 6 (23)
have more than three practice periods with todays idea unless W 14 L 2 (24)
this fact, conclude the practice periods by repeating todays idea W 14 L 6 (25)
day, aside from the practice periods. Be very specific in applying W 14 L 7 (25)
will do for the practice periods, if you begin to feel W 15 L 5 (27)
have more than three application periods for todays idea unless W 15 L 5 (27)
5. In the practice periods, first repeat the idea, and W 16 L 5 (29)
Four or five practice periods are recommended, if you find W 16 L 7 (29)
Three or four specific practice periods are recommended, and no less W 17 L 4 (30)
The three or four practice periods which are recommended should be W 18 L 2 (31)
of subjects for all practice periods remains essential throughout. Lack ofW 19 L 4 (32)
idea, at least three practice periods are required, shortening the length W 19 L 5 (33)
quite casual about our practice periods thus far. There has been W 20 L 1 (34)
This time, however, specific mind-searching periods are necessary in addition toW 21 L 1 (36)
as they arise. Five practice periods are urged, allowing a full W 21 L 1 (36)
2. In the practice periods, begin by repeating the idea W 21 L 2 (36)
escape you in the practice periods. Remember that you do not W 21 L 3 (36)
the need arises, five practice periods are required in applying today W 23 L 6 (39)
7. In the practice periods, be sure to include both W 23 L 7 (39)
same in todays practice periods. We are still at the W 23 L 7 (39)
each of the five practice periods which should be undertaken today W 24 L 3 (40)
for each of the mind-searching periods which the exercises involve. W 24 L 3 (40)

6. Six practice periods, each of two minutes duration W 25 L 6 (43)
5. Six practice periods are required in applying today W 26 L 5 (45)
for yesterday. In these practice periods you will be making a W 28 L 1 (47)

have six two minute practice periods today, in which the idea W 28 L 7 (48)
Our six two minute practice periods for today should follow a W 29 L 4 (49)
addition to the assigned practice periods, repeat the idea for today W 29 L 6 (50)
as well, devote several practice periods to applying todays idea W 30 L 5 (51)
the day. 2. Two longer periods of practice with the idea W 31 L 2 (52)
them as different, the practice periods for today will again include W 32 L 2 (53)
we will begin the practice periods for the morning and evening W 32 L 3 (53)
For the two longer practice periods, three to five minutes are W 32 L 4 (53)
2. In these practice periods, the idea should be repeated W 33 L 2 (54)
3. The shorter exercise periods should be as frequent as W 33 L 3 (54)
2. Three longer practice periods are required for todays W 34 L 2 (55)
each of the longer practice periods. Search your mind for fear W 34 L 3 (55)
of the three five-minute practice periods today, begin by repeating today W 35 L 4 (57)
During the longer exercise periods, there will probably be intervals W 35 L 8 (58)
three to five minute practice periods are required for today. Try W 36 L 2 (59)
the day. The longer practice periods should take this form: W 36 L 2 (59)
Several times during these practice periods, close your eyes and repeat W 36 L 3 (59)
For the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat W 36 L 4 (59)
Todays four longer exercise periods, each to involve three to W 37 L 4 (60)
In the four longer practice periods, each preferably to last a W 38 L 4 (62)
for the four longer practice periods for today. Longer and more W 36 L 5 (64)
6. Begin the practice periods as usual, by repeating today W 36 L 6 (65)
the applications with several short periods during which you merely repeat W 36 L 9 (65)
introduce variety into your application periods, in whatever form appeals toW 36 L 10 (65)
you are. No long practice periods are required today, but very W 40 L 1 (67)
your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably find W 40 L 2 (67)
have two three-to-five-minute longer exercise periods today, one as soon asW 42 L 3 (70)
the number of short practice periods which would be most beneficial W 42 L 7 (71)
4. Three five-minute practice periods are required today, one as W 43 L 4 (72)
idea in the shorter practice periods, the form may vary according W 43 L 7 (73)
today not to allow long periods of time to slip by W 43 L 9 (74)
Have at least three practice periods today, each lasting three-to-five minutesW 44 L 4 (75)
Our three five-minute practice periods for today will take the W 45 L 4 (78)
least three full five-minute practice periods, and as many shorter applicationsW 46 L 3 (81)
as possible. Begin the practice periods by repeating todays idea W 46 L 3 (81)
real strength. Four five-minute practice periods are necessary today, and longerW 47 L 4 (83)
2. Todays practice periods will be very short, very W 48 L 2 (85)
at least four five-minute practice periods today, and more if possible W 49 L 3 (86)
have a series of review periods. Each of them will cover W 51 RI 1 (90)
or thoroughly in the practice periods. Try, rather, merely to emphasize W 51 RI 3 (90)
5. As many practice periods as possible should be undertaken W 61 L 5 (112)
purpose here. These two practice periods may be longer than the W 61 L 6 (113)
forms of the shorter practice periods are required. At times, do W 64 L 9 (118)
undertake the daily extended practice periods at approximately the same timeW 65 L 4 (119)
In the shorter practice periods, which should be undertaken at W 65 L 8 (120)
In the shorter practice periods, which would be most helpful W 66 L 12 (123)
realize in the shorter practice periods, that this is not your W 67 L 6 (125)
8. The short practice periods should include a quick application W 68 L 8 (127)
In the shorter practice periods, which you will want to W 69 L 8 (129)
ready for two longer practice periods today, each of which should W 70 L 5 (132)
6. Begin these practice periods by repeating the idea for W 70 L 6 (132)
the short and frequent practice periods today, remind yourself that your W 70 L 9 (133)
Begin the two longer practice periods for today by thinking about W 71 L 7 (135)
In the shorter practice periods tell yourself often that God W 71 L 9 (136)
goal in the longer practice periods today is to become aware W 72 L 9 (139)
or perhaps two shorter practice periods an hour will be enough W 72 L 12 (139)
will begin our longer practice periods with the recognition that God W 73 L 9 (142)
In the shorter practice periods, again make a declaration of W 73 L 11 (143)
Begin the longer practice periods by repeating these thoughts several W 74 L 3 (144)
7. In the shorter periods, which should be undertaken at W 74 L 7 (145)
4. Our longer practice periods will be devoted to looking W 75 L 4 (146)
8. The shorter practice periods, too, will be joyful reminders W 75 L 8 (147)
will begin the longer practice periods today with a short review W 76 L 8 (150)
Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself quite confidently W 77 L 4 (152)
7. Our shorter practice periods will be frequent, and will W 77 L 7 (153)
6. Our longer practice periods today will see him in W 78 L 6 (155)
In our longer practice periods, we will ask what the W 79 L 7 (158)
9. The shorter practice periods for today will not be W 79 L 9 (158)
In our longer practice periods today, we will claim the W 80 L 4 (160)
2. The longer practice periods will follow this general form W 81 RII 2 (162)
them all. Regard these practice periods as dedications to the way W 81 RII 4 (162)
determination in the shorter practice periods as well, and using the W 81 RII 5 (162)
Begin the longer practice periods with this statement of true W 91 L 6 (175)
In our longer exercise periods today, which would be most W 93 L 8 (181)
Frequent but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you W 95 L 5 (185)
forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail W 95 L 5 (185)
five minutes an hour practice periods for a while, and urge W 95 L 7 (186)
true. Begin the longer practice periods with this assurance, given to W 95 L 11 (187)
and start your longer practice periods with this instruction in the W 99 L 10 (199)
in our five minute practice periods, by feeling happiness arise in W 100 L 6 (201)
today between your longer practice periods. It is your Self who W 100 L 9 (202)
You need the practice periods today. The exercises teach sin W 101 L 5 (203)
should you start your practice periods, and then attempt again to W 101 L 7 (204)
to devote our longer practice periods to exercises planned to help W 102 L 3 (205)
Begin the longer practice periods today with this acceptance of W 102 L 4 (205)
3. Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes W 104 L 3 (208)
6. Today our practice periods will start a little differently W 105 L 6 (211)
So we begin the practice periods with the instruction for today W 108 L 8 (220)
sink into stillness. Let these periods of rest and respite reassure W 109 L 5 (223)
For your five minute practice periods, begin with this quotation from W 110 L 6 (226)
special format for these practice periods, which you are urged to W 111 RIII 1 (228)
for your unwillingness. Those practice periods which you have lost becauseW 111 RIII 3 (228)
given them, allow your practice periods to be replacements for your W 111 RIII 4 (228)
you nothing. But your practice periods offer you everything. Accept theirW 111 RIII 4 (228)
by between your longer practice periods. Attempt to give your daily W 111 RIII 10 (229)
of it again. These practice periods are planned to help you W 111 RIII 11 (230)
Begin the longer practice periods by thinking of someone you W 121 L 10 (243)
as you begin these practice periods, for they hold out the W 122 L 11 (246)
we start upon our practice periods. Begin with this: I ask W 131 L 10 (271)
Begin the fifteen minute periods in which we practice twice W 132 L 15 (276)
Our two extended practice periods of fifteen minutes will begin W 133 L 14 (279)
and the end of practice periods, but to recall the mind W 170 RV 12 (384)
Today devote your practice periods to careful searching of your W 185 L 8 (403)
