You can get the books from the library. Basically the technique is just to notice and acknowledge the emotion you're feeling, over and over again until the pain lifts.

Rei: What emotion am I feeling right now?
Rei: Anger.
Rei: What emotion am I feeling right now?
Rei: Anger.
Rei: What emotion am I feeling right now?
Rei: Anger.
Rei: What emotion am I feeling right now?
Rei: Despair.

etc. etc. etc. Personally, I want to know what message the emotion is trying to get through my thick skull, too, which I find helps the pain know it's done its job and be on its merry way -- that's not really part of Sarno's method, though. Just acknowledging the emotion does a lot.
