Lesson 5
Constructing the Conception of Health
Form a Conception of Health, which is an understanding of perfect functioning in every organ. Picture yourself doing things in the "Strong Way," walking with a vigorous stride and working with surplus vigor. Ignore physiology and hygiene that focus on disease, as these fill the mind with thoughts of imperfect conditions. Instead, call up thoughts in harmony with your Conception of Health to rebuild your body cell by cell.

Review
Work with the idea before moving on.
- What does a clear Conception of Health look like in ordinary action?
- Which images of weakness or imperfect function do I rehearse too often?
- How can I picture strength without forcing or pretending?
Practice
One Being Well action
Form a brief mental picture of yourself moving through one ordinary task in the strong way. Then perform that task with steadiness and surplus attention.
