In other words, act precisely as if you were going to take a siesta. In doing so you allow the Unconscious tide to rise to a sufficient height to make your particular suggestions effective. Now call up the desired ideas through the medium of speech. Tell yourself that such and such ameliorations are going to occur. But here we must give a few hints as to the form these suggestions should take.
Senora Jacoba that was her name was a woman who probably felt neither heat nor cold; summer and winter she spent the dead hours seated by her vegetable stand at the Puerta de Moros; if she sold a head of lettuce between sunrise and sunset, it was a great deal. After eating, some of the shoemaker's family went off to the courtyard for their siesta, while others remained in the shop.
After the siesta, provisions were brought and enclosed in neat packages convenient for carrying on the back, and at dusk, after a swift row across the lake, the boys were at the foot of a high range of mountains which looked down upon the lake and the town.

He was shoving off as Cookie, roused by Crusoe's barking, appeared from the seclusion of his afternoon siesta.
There goes thine enemy, Uya!" But the lion who preyed upon the tribe was taking his siesta. The cry went unheard. That day he had dined on one of the plumper girls, and his mood was a comfortable placidity. He really did not understand that he was Uya or that Ugh-lomi was his enemy.
The blue smoke curling peacefully up from the chimney and the white gleam of the walls through the shady trees for this rancho actually boasted a chimney and whitewashed walls looked exceedingly inviting to my tired eyes. How pleasant a good breakfast, with a long siesta in the shade after it, would be, thought I; but, alas! was I not pursued by the awful phantoms of political vengeance?
It's a poem, anyhow, within the meaning of the act. And he strolled off to a neighbour's study to borrow a book. Two nights afterwards, Morrison, also of the Sixth, was enjoying his usual during prep siesta in his study. A tap at the door roused him.
