    Hi David,
    I have to disagree with Mr. Clark on the above point. I have used
    counting for years as a prelude to Work(of course at the time of
    Step1 work, it was all I could do to remained focused on the
    counting, it got easier and now I use it as I described above). I
    started by using incoming/holding/outgoing/hold-out in 4.2.4.2
    sequence. I did this at my own pace relative to my comfort level at
    any given time of the day. Counting is an idea and even a visual
    image sequence if you like (I've used an image of coloured numbered
    candles.). It does promote a focusing of the attention into one
    area. This is the intent of the exercise to begin with.

    I have listened to Mr. Clark's "Stillness" exercises. Personally
    (and I emphasize *personally*) I find them to be too "busy" for my
    taste. Some years ago I came to the conclusion that just "clearing"
    a space in my mind would do for beginning the vacancy exercise. I
    thought that I would be able to expand the "clearing" as time went
    on. I was right.

    See, the exercises in future steps will call on the skills you
    develop now, and they will grow with time and applied effort. My
    advice to anyone started the Bardon work would be... enjoy yourself,
    take your time, be creative, and above all... you are the only one
    who can do the Work, no one can do it for you.

    Rock on
    P
