Association as a...

between body and mind as a quick way to achieve a desired state of existence.. is fucking interesting!

Here is an example that I have been working on.. maybe you could try for yourself too..

Whenever I am feeling in a really relaxed state of mind I press my thumb with my finger and hold it for a few minutes...

The basic idea behind it is frequency. The more I do this.. the stronger the association between pressing the thumb and teh feeling of relaxation. So when I am stressed for whatever reason.. I can just press my thumb and feel it flow.

Pavlov's dogs mayn.

This same technique could be used to make an infinite number of associations. I could even use my right hand for one and the left for another..
