Lesson IV.
The Arms.
Let the arms swing backward from their natural position, with the palm
of the hands turned toward the front; head raised. Say: "It is
impossible!"
There is no doubt whatever about it.
[Illustration]
Arms at the side in their natural position, palms toward the front; head
straight, Say: "It is not so."
Arms slightly forward; head very slightly bent. Say: "It is
improbable."
Forearms slightly raised. Say: "Maybe."
Forearms still higher. Say: "It is probable."
Forearms at right angles with upper arms, palms always upward; head
bent. Say: "It is so."
Forearms higher. Say: "It is certain."
Forearms still higher (upper arms follow); head bent forward. Say: "It
is evident!"
Forearms still higher (by this time the upper arms are horizontal); head
bent way forward.
