Simple Method for Improving Circulation
Hi. I’m posting the following technique for boosting circulation to
any part of your body because I’ve personally found it to be quick and
easy and because diminishing circulation to the extremities can be a
serious problem for people with diabetes and other ailments. This
visualization exercise, created by Dr. Win Wenger, requires only your
mind and a few minutes of your time. If you are having trouble with
your circulation or would simply like to avoid such problems in the
future, you will probably find this technique well worth the minimal
effort needed to employ it.
In addition to using this method for my own benefit, I’ve told other
people how to use it, and it has consistently proven effective. I know
one woman who suffers from diabetes and who once mentioned to me that
her poor circulation made her feet very uncomfortable in certain
circumstances. I explained this methodology to her, and when I ran
into her again several months later, she told me her feet were no
longer a problem because whenever they troubled her she would use this
technique for immediate relief.
I will add that I am not a doctor and I am certainly not prescribing
anything to anyone (especially anyone I’ve never even met). And I
certainly don’t advocate making any radical changes in your present
course of treatment without consulting a physician. However, these are
simply visualization exercises, and you are all likely used to using
your minds in many different ways every day, so a little more thinking
shouldn’t prove too terribly disruptive to anyone’s health or
lifestyle. If you try these instructions out for yourself you’ll have
a better idea of what they can do for you. I hope everyone here finds
them as valuable as my friend did.
Warm greetings and best of health to all,
Ralph Cerchione

Control of Blood-Flow Circulation
Of many easy ways to control blood-flow circulation, the "Expander
Technique" is perhaps the easiest. Whichever area(s) of the body you
wish to increase blood flow to, simply imagine that particular part of
the body is an inch larger in all directions and an inch further out
from the center of the body than it really is.
With one inch "expansion," the body image will expand circulation to
supply the imagined larger area.
Except for the hands and feet (see "Limb-Extender," below), beyond two
inches "expansion" and the effect disappears. If you have thermal
bio-feedback monitoring equipment, or once you sensitize to the
_feelings_ of increased circulation (warmth, tingling and/or pulsing
sensation), you can _range_ the degree of imagined expansion between
one-half inch and two inches to find the point of maximum effect.
With the "Expander Technique," circulation increase is specific –
particular tissues and organs can be flushed with extra circulation
without noticeably affecting surrounding tissues.
The best parts of the body to expand circulation to, other things
equal, are:
· the _brain_, where in the average person over 30 years of age,
100,000 brain cells die every day from declining circulation;
· the _womb_ area during pregnancies, where circulation-flushing
appears to greatly enhance the development of fetuses by speeding the
removal of toxic wastes.
"Limb-Extender," variant of the "Expander Technique" gives easy
instant feedback in cold weather if your hands or feet are cold.
Imagine arms (or legs) _much_ longer; imagine _reaching_through_ the
space occupied by the physical hands (or feet) "_to_" some distant
object. Hands (or feet) warm somewhat, instantly.
It is not yet known whether bleeding can be reduced or stopped by the
inverse procedure, of imagining the injured part of the body to be
smaller and closer in to the center of the body than it actually is –
Psychegenicists generally don’t have accidents and so have little
opportunity to test such a procedure. None of us thus far have felt
like deliberately damaging anything just to make the test or
demonstration.
