definition

image: Close your eyes. Breathe in and out three times. Notice that even these brief actions signal your body to relax and let yourself settle down into the warm embrace of your own good feelings, quickly. See before your inner eyes a single elastic blood vessel, big enough and flexible enough to represent all of the blood vessels in your body. See the vessel contract and sense how it must feel, for it to close down so tightly, that were there a wound down stream from that vessel anywhere in your body, virtually no blood at all will escape. See the wound in the vessel. Notice how the blood thickens and fills the wound with a swiftly hardening glue as soon as the local blood pressure drops. See the white blood cells enter the area around he wound, ready to eat any bacteria that might intrude into the vessel and cause harm. Know, with a sense of satisfaction and relief, that the vessel is now whole. Gently let your eyes open once again. (Chavez)
