How to Look Younger and Act Younger

Long before the current popularity of “The Power of Now,” “The Zone” and modern meditation practices, L. Ron Hubbard discovered several new methods to release your attention from the past. In fact, many people say they are his best discoveries of all.

One of his easiest methods is a self-improvement exercise. You can do it, on your own, whenever you like.

“Sitting somewhere near the center of a room, close your eyes and ‘contact’ the two upper corners of the room behind you.”

“Pretend you’re holding onto them.” “If it’s hard for you to hold them from inside, try holding them from outside.”

“Then, holding those corners, sit still and don’t think. Remain interested only in those two corners.

“You can do this for two minutes (minimum) or two hours, always with benefit. No matter what happens, simply hold the corners and don’t think.

“You can do this daily. It will make you look and act younger.” — L. Ron Hubbard (Phoenix Arizona, 1954)
