In her book, Go For It!!! Dr. Irene C. Kassorla P.B., writes about a patient she had during her internship, named Charlie Blake. Charlie was known throughout Britain as one of the sickest men in the country because he had severe schizophrenia. For thirty years he sat in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth while staring at the ground and muttering guttural sounds out of his throat. Irene decided to do her doctorate thesis on positive versus negative strokes. The results were so astounding that her peers accused her of using drugs. But all she did was send positive vibes.

Beginning with the first day she began working with him she took a rocking chair in and started rocking with him in "sync," and then she would turn her shoulders toward him, give him loving eye contact, lean toward him and start to compliment him. She'd say things like, "Charlie, I like the way you blink your eyes." "Charlie, I like the tone in your voice, it's very nice."

She took her shoulders and turned away from him if he ever started into a psychotic behavior or low guttural sounds. As she turned away she would count to 10 and then she would turn back around and start praising him again. In twenty-nine days, she had Charlie Blake walking, talking and answering the majority of her questions correctly.

If she can get those kind of results with someone who's been basically dead for thirty years, imagine the results we could have with some of the people at work, and the people we love at home, if we just sent positive vibes now and again.
