In most cases, people who have^ vivid imaginations,. are creative, frequently daydream and are considered to be visual tend to experience such difficulties more than other people. It is this capacity to turn thoughts into feelings easitfthat brings about changes in thebody which cause us grief. And it is these very people who have the capacity and potential to use their creative imaginations to make themselves happy, relaxed ancLeven healthy, montt words, highly suggestible people are prone to deep stress because their minds easily translate thoughts and ideas into feelings. If they think of themselves becoming tense, they actually become tense. If they see a person enjoying a piece of cake, they become hungry. If they see a sad scene, thev becin to crv. If thpv havp a disagreement with someone, they .^el guilty (even if the other persoh is at fault). If someone says he does not like them, they ' become distraught. - But it works in reverse, also. 's among them Thelma Comer Morfis, 45, the youngest child, is head teachei^at Field Elementary School, where she?has^taughU-reading for 20 years. Says Norman of iris unlearned parents: "They had a love of education, even though they didn't have much of it. They instilled in their children the desire to get as much education as possible. "My mother is 81 and a functional illiterate," he said, almost boastfully. MShe grew up on a tiny houseboat with 11 people in Mississippi.

"I didn't want my children to grow up like me."

These highly suggestible people are among the most truthful and purest people in our society because they are not schemers. They carry their emotions openly, like an exposed* nerve. The negative-side of tfiis is the detrimerttal effects of stress on the heart. The positive aspect is that the same suggestibility that causes stress can also be trained to heal the body and rid it'of stress. Perhaps you have experienced severe physical and mental tiredness, and you felt you had only enough strength to fall into bed. Suddenly, yetir phone rang.

All of this occurred becaiise you were happy instead of sad,. You forgot your problems and thought about all of the good things that were .going to happen when you met your friend. This proves that your thoughts. can determine whether you are sick or well. If you make a cassette tape recording of all of the good things that have happened to you and the happiness you deserve in the future and listen to it often, your life will suddenly improve. 4 INVEI *900 01 $gQ0 Off Corner < Coal or Woo Heaters ?!$ per month IBm Easy Credit Terms Service After The Sale 1^' WE DO OUR ol OWN FINANCING 0%i i v V .
