bring your chin up close to your neck.
Hold the breath for a time and then gradually exhale through
the left nostril by closing the right nostril (again the thumb is
easiest here).
Careful note in this particular exercise one always breathes
in through the right nostril, and always breathes out through
the left nostril.
You should do this from a start of ten breathings, during
which you gradually increase the time of breath retention, up
to some fifty times, but you must increase your breath retention
very gradually, there is no need to rush, and while on the sub-
ject here is a little note which may free you from worry; when
you have been doing it for some time, and you are doing it with
deep breath retention, you may find that you perspire from the
roots of the hair. That is perfectly safe, perfectly normal, and
really does increase the health and cleanliness of the body.
Here is another system of breathing which is very good to
improve the state of the blood, and keep one cool.
Have you ever seen how a dog or a cat folds the tongue so
that it becomes a vee shape? Well, in this case we are going
to be like the cat! Sit as before, that is, comfortably on a hard
seat with the spine erect. Protrude your tongue just a little, and
140
make it so that it has a vee. Then you draw ALL THROUGH THE
MOUTH with an indrawn Ssss. Hold your breath as long as
possible, and then exhale through the nostrils. You need to do
this for twenty times a day.
It is important that you should be absolutely regular in these
exercises. Do not miss one day and do twice as long the next
day, that is just a waste of time. If you are not going to do the
exercises regularly, then it is far better not to start. So be
regular, be punctual, try to do your exercises at the same time
every day, and when doing them do not screw up your face,
do not indulge in any contortions of any kind. If you find that
you get any pain, stop immediately until the pain is gone. Fur-
ther, you cannot do these exercises if you have just over-stuffed
yourself with food. Most people eat too much for too long to
too little purpose, and so a moderate diet is to be preferred.
As a final warning, do not do these exercises if you have
heart disease or T.B. Do not try to hold your breath longer
than is comfortable. After all, there will be other lives, what
you do not learn in this life you can always drop in again, and
take up where you left off! And it should be stated, too, that
unless you are very young, very supple, and very well insured,
you should not do any of the exercises which require you to
balance on one thumb or sit with your feet resting on the top
of your head or something. Unless you were born an Easterner,
or unless your parents were acrobats at the local circus, you
will be well advised to leave these things alone.
SUPPLEMENT B
STONES
This is a supplement about various kinds of stones, because they
have great influence on the life of each of us. Stones are the
oldest solid things on this Earth; they were in existence before
humans were ever dreamed of or nightmared of! and will
be in existence long after we have gone.
Depending on your point of view, you may think of stones
as a collection of chemicals, or as a lot of molecules which
wobble around according to the number of them crammed
into one space. Stones, though, have very strong vibrations. In
141
effect they are like radio transmitters, transmitting their mes-
sages for good or for bad all the time.
Let us look at stones, starting with :
AGATE: Many people regard agates as a red stone, but
actually there are red, green, brown, and a sort of ginger colour.
In the Far East the red, or blood agate, as it is often called, is
truly a protection against poisonous insects such as spiders.
This is not fiction. Agates give off a radiation which dis-
heartens spiders and scorpions and makes them seek pastures
new.
There is a form of brown agate which radiates a vibration
which gives a man self-confidence, and thus by giving him a
form of Dutch courage gives him victory over his enemies or
success with his lady friends.
In the medical field it has been proved that if a person wears
a brown agate next to his skin, preferably over his sternum,
that is, hanging around his neck over his breast-bone, it in-
creases his intelligence and helps to allay fevers and madness.
From the latter you will readily observe that not many brown
agates are so worn.
In the Middle East some people wear a shaped agate which
is alleged to keep away intestinal infections which are normally
quite prevalent in the Middle East.
There are black agates, green agates, and grey, but in China
there is a very, very remarkable agate which has certain fos-
silised remains in it, and if you take one of these stones which
have been highly polished you will see the patterns of small
plant-life forms such as ferns. This is used by farmers as a
decoration in the hope that they will have a very profitable
agricultural year.
AMBER : If you have trouble with your kidneys or your liver,
or if you are troubled with that civilized complaint from which
our pharmaceutical houses reap a large fortune (constipation)
take some powdered amber, grind it so it is like flour, then
mix it with honey and a little water. Then swallow the muck,
but only if you are within reach of the appropriate convenience
of civilization, because this is a remedy which really does work,
as you would find out. The only difficulty is amber is rather
expensive.
Ladies who desire a husband and have not much luck in
attracting them should have a piece of amber shaped as a
I42
phallic symbol. By wearing such a symbol it would attract a
man who had the right desires for her. Thus she would get the
husband for which she had such a desire.
Amber is a stone, but it is not very much used in the West
because, unless skillfully polished, it is rather dull.
AMETHYST: Many bishops wear an amethyst in the ring
which the devout kiss on the bishop's finger. An amethyst,
which is of violet or wine colour, makes one tranquil. In other
words, the molecular vibration of the material which we call
the amethyst oscillates at such a period of frequency that it
heterodynes with belligerent vibrations of a human and causes
those vibrations to slow down and become tranquil!
The amethyst was used as a tranquilizer in the Far East long
before aspirin took over that field.
ANTIPATHES : This is a stone which is quite black. It looks
something like a highly polished piece of coal of the anthracite
variety. It is little used now in the West because of its complete
blackness. It has been used, however, as the background to a
super-imposed cameo of ivory.
BERYL: St. Thomas is the patron saint of the beryl. It is
stated that he used the yellow beryl for curing diseases of the
liver. The beryl normally is of a green coloration. It is a stone
which helps in the matter of digestion.
CARNELIAN: Some people call the carnelian a blood stone.
It has a vibration which damps down the pulses of the blood,
and it is truly a fact that if a person has congestion of blood
in the head, the congestion is relieved very greatly if the frontal [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
