At first it was hard for her to concentrate only on the positive side of things with all those cancer patients who had to be consulted. Every time she had to break some bad news to one she saw herself. Only she had no one to cushion the fall for her. She couldn't just lie to the mirror and say, "We'll do some chemo and you'll be up and running again." But with a little help from Power of the Human Mind, one of the books she had bought from the self-help section of her favorite bookstore, Susan was making progress. She had worked up a system: every time a bad thing happened around her she would recite to herself the following text she had found in the book: "I am a sphere of energy and the bad thoughts are projectiles that try to penetrate the sphere. They all come from outside, while only good thoughts are produced inside of the sphere. All the energy that the sphere has comes from my brain. As long as my brain has fuel, the shield of energy will deflect all bad thoughts and I will find only peaceful thoughts inside the sphere in which I will bathe every day from now on."
It was almost like magic. After she'd say that to herself a few times a tide of peace would flood her perceptions and there would be no more fear. The exercise was so effective that often she would completely forget what bad thought had troubled her in the first place.
