A.
Starting below the flare-
up line, gradually
increase your activity,
planning steps in
advance: ‘
always do
more than you did
yesterday
, but not much
more’.
B.
The flare-up line will
slowly lift along with
your training level. This
is because you are
training your brain,
reducing the perceived
threat, accessing the
virtual body in a non-
threateningway.
C.
The protect by pain line
will slowly lift – the
sensitivity of the system
reduces.
D.
The tissue tolerance line
will also lift – this is one
of the beautiful properties
of highly adaptable beings
– the tissues get stronger,
fitter and better
controlled.
And now plan your ‘training’. Let’s walk through the first of the small mountains in the figure below.
Superhuman effort
(dangerous)
PS. Your NPBP
could even be
lower than this!
