Next we will be working with the sense of smell. Here you can do as you please: you could rub some perfume onto your good luck pig, light some incense, or dab some scented oils onto yourself-whatever you like.

Once you've done this, sit in a comfortable posi­ tion, hold your good luck pig in your hands, and take a few whiffs of it, even if you didn't actually douse it with a scent. Then sit back comfortably and observe your sense of smell while still holding on to the pig; repeat the process (sniff and observe) several times. Here, too, we recommend that you close your eyes, as the sense of smell is keener that way.

If any distracting thoughts should arise, proceed as described above. Just let them come and go without paying any attention to them, and keep refocusing your attention on your sense of smell.

This phase should be roughly as long as the previ­ ous step. As a guide, ten to twenty minutes should be about right.

Again, take a short break before proceeding to the next step .

Now it's time to focus on the sense of hearing. Put on your favorite music, or at least some that you enjoy; it doesn't matter what style this music might be.

Lean back in your chair, close your eyes, and hold your good luck pig comfortably yet firmly in your hand. Although you should be focusing entirely on your sense

of hearing, it can't hurt to consciously remember the good luck pig in your hand every once in a while.

That's all you need to do here. Proceed as in steps 1 and 2 if any distracting thoughts occur.

The duration of this step will mainly be deter­ mined by the length of the music piece that you have chosen; in any case, once the music is over, remain quiet for a few minutes with your eyes closed to savor the lasting effects. If you want, feel free to play a second song and repeat the process.

Then take another short break before continuing on to the next step.

Now we'll be working with the sense of taste. If your favorite food is really only enjoyable warm, then use the short break to prepare it.

Hold your good luck pig in your hand while savor­ ing your favorite food, even if it may be a bit awkward, e.g., when using silverware. While eating, play close attention to your sense of taste. Keep your eyes closed here too, though it might seem a bit strange since this is generally not a common practice while eating. Taste the food as intensely as possible before swallowing it; at the same time, keep clutching your lucky object in your hand, even if you only think about it occasionally. If any distracting thoughts should occur, proceed as already described above.
