GAT Commentary:

 

Approved to be moved to Tips and Tricks.

 

It's just a bit of symbolism for relaxation and focusing. Most people end up developing or learning a method for such purposes when interacting with their tulpa, either naturally or by some such guide.

Personally, I tend to avoid symbolism aside from that which comes naturally to me - instead I found focusing on my breathing, or senses or sense of self - to work just as well for getting relaxed or focused on the task at hand - not unlike this:

 

For those who think symbolism is pretty gay in and of itself, there's always Pranayama. Breathing control, i have found, has pretty cool effects on the mind.

10/12 GAT members have approved of this for Tips & Tricks, which is way over the approval percentage requirement. Will be shifted accordingly by the end of the deadline (12-23-2013) either through the GAT manager (waffles) or vice-manager (Linkzelda).

 

If my tally is inaccurate in any way, please inform me GAT members.

Quit reading my mind!

 

I know the symbolism is stupid, but it seems to work, maybe because of the way you focus. I heard somewhere that soldiers are taught to focus on a hurt part of their body to maintain control longer so a medic can reach them, this is probably related to that.

 

As a military medic I can confirm that this is practiced and does work.
