THE LINK SYSTEM
slightly tired by the previous accident, you are pulling yourself
along towards the shops on a gigantic rope made of millions of
threads of dental floss, the rope connecting your front door to the
chemist's shop.
Just as all this exertion begins to make you feel hungry, wafting
on the warm wind comes an incredibly strong aroma of freshly baked
wholewheat bread. Imagine yourself being dragged by the nose as
you salivate extraordinarily thinking of the taste of the freshly baked
bread. As you enter the baker's shop, you notice to your amaze-
ment that every loaf on the baker's shelves is filled with brilliantly
pulsating red tomatoes, the baker's latest idea for a new food fad.
As you walk out of the baker's shop, noisily munching on your
tomato and wholewheat loaf, you see walking down the road with
the most amazing rhythm the sexiest person you have ever seen
(really let your imagination go on this one). Your immediate
instinct is to buy the person roses, so you dive into the nearest
flower shop, which sells nothing but red roses, and buy the lot,
bedazzled by the greenness of the leaves, the redness of the flowers,
the feel of the flowers as you carry them, the feel of the thorns, and
the fragrance from the roses themselves.
When you have finished reading this fantasy, close your eyes and
run back through the image-story you have just completed. If you
think you can already remember all ten items in the shopping list,
turn now to the next page and fill in the answers. If not, read
through this chapter again, carefully visualising on your mind's
inner screen, in sequence, the events of the story. Turn to the next
page when you are ready.
