 The idea is quite simple. All you do is find good, old words (I have plenty
of samples for you to use). Memorize them. And then say them whenever you want, silently,
at a slow, s-l-o-w, rhythmic pace. Again and again.
With two purposes:
1. To slow one’s thinking.
2. And to interrupt the headlong tumble of fast-thought in which we now exist constantly.
That’s it. Very simple.
Now you see the meaning of the name I applied to the concept. "Saltlick,"
because these old words, carefully and slowly and silently repeated, turn out to have some
highly beneficial effects. Your mind and with it your body and your self move toward a
place of rest, recuperation, opening toward a source of nurture from which our furious
mentation (think-think-think!) these days pretty much shuts us off.
Now, if you don’t mind, I want to say the same thing a number of different ways,
examine the idea, the technique, and the results using several metaphors.
