A receptive place

One way to get immediate receptivity is to repeat the word "Supreme" in silence over and over again, as fast as possible.

First select one place in your body-let us say your third eye-and concentrate there while repeating "Supreme" as fast as possible.

Then select another spot and do the same thing. It is better to go from the top downward than from the bottom upward. The place you concentrate on does not have to be a psychic centre. It can be any place you want.

If you can do this in seven different places in your body, at one particular place you are bound to find yourself receptive.
