His technique, given in full: name the state, identify yourself with it, and become absorbed in it - to the degree that absorption is complete, it works. He sits quietly in a chair and does not lie down, because lying down is associated with sleep; he imagines and becomes absorbed in whatever another has asked of him as if it were already realised, so that they are standing before him telling him the exciting news. Then he assumes no responsibility for making it so: he lets it be so, does not lift a finger, and does not discuss it, because how can you discuss what is already so. It may take a day or a week or a month, and sometimes he never hears the outcome.
