> STIMULATE BRAIN:

>

> Close both nostrils. Inhale through the mouth and then

force the breath into nasal passages and start to exhale with mouth

closed. You will feel pressure. Release nostrils and let out the

air. This diverts the current to the brain cells and stimulates

them. Do this several times. Also do on as many occasions a day as

needed.

> CONTROL AND CLEAR THOUGHTS:

>

> Close the left nostril with you finger and inhale

through the right nostril. Hold for a count of 8 and then exhale

through the same (right) nostril. Then close your right nostril

with your finger and inhale through the left nostril. Hold for the

count of 8 and then exhale through the same (left) nostril. Repeat

as many times and on as many occasions as you feel necessary.

> Close the left nostril with your finger and inhale

through the right nostril. Hold for a count of 8 and then exhale

through the other (left) nostril. Then close the right nostril with

your finger and inhale through the left nostril. Hold for the count

of 8 and then exhale through the other (right) nostril. Repeat as

many times and on as many occasions as you feel necessary.

> OXYGENATE THE BLOODSTREAM:

>

> (1) Pucker your lips. Close the nostrils with your

fingers. Inhale slowly through the mouth. Then close the mouth and

exhale slowly through the nostrils. Do this ten times. (This

liberates the etheric current.)

>

> (2) Stand or sit erect with your spine as straight as

possible. Place the tip of your tongue at the roof of the mouth

behind the upper front teeth. Close both nostrils with your

fingers. Inhale slowly through the mouth until the lungs fill to

capacity. Then exhale slowly through the mouth, intentionally

contracting the abdomen at the same time. Do this ten times.

>

>

>

> ENERGIZE:

>

> Take several rapid breaths in and out through the

mouth, making sure to pull the air down into the abdomen. You will

usually see your abdomen expand when inhaling and retract when

exhaling. If not, purposefully make that happen. Repeat silently to

yourself over and over: " I am energized. I am vitalized. "

>

>

>

> RELAX:

>

> Take a deep breath, slowing pulling the air down into

the lower portion of your diaphragm. You should notice your abdomen

expanding. Then slowly release the air out through the mouth. In

through the nose, out through the mouth. It will be helpful to

silently repeat the word " relax " in your mind, dividing it into

syllables--one syllable on the inhale and one syllable when you

exhale. Do this several times. Then you might say silently to

yourself as you continue to deep breathe: " With every breath I take,

I am becoming more and more relaxed, more and more relaxed. "

>

> WARMING BREATH:

>

> Using the muscles of the diaphragm, forcibly exhale

through the nose. Draw in the stomach and abdomen in a forceful way

while exhaling, using that motion to force the air out of your lungs.

Release the abdominal muscles to exhale. Do this one fairly quickly

and not more than about 10 times to begin with. This can be increased

when you are more used to the energy and heat this powerful breathing

exsercise can generate in your body. Do not overdo this one!

> COOLING BREATH:

>

> Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth and inhale

through your mouth with a hissing sound. Hold the breath 2 or 3

counts. Then exhale slowly through your nose. Feel coolness

throughout your body, particularly in your brain, mouth, nose,

breathing passages, and lungs. Say silently to yourself: " I am

cool, calm, and collected. "

> POWER BREATHING:

>

> Bend forward, exhaling through mouth or nose (or both).

Get all of the air out of your lungs. Then begin inhaling as you

stand up slowly. Tense the body in a wave moving upward. Feel as

though you are lifting great weights up in front of you with your

arms. Incrase the tension in the arms and the whole body until your

body is vibrating with tension. At this point you are standing

straight up, arms uplifted, and leaning slightly backward, with all

body parts at maximum tension. Hold this for just a moment. Exhale

slowly as you gradually release tension, stooping gracefully forward

until the breath is entirely out and the body is totally releaxed.

Repeat this exercise about 3 times.

Exhale to the count of 6. Hold for the count of 4. Repeat several

times.

> SLOW DOWN METABOLISM:

>

> Plug up right nostril and breathe through the left

nostril. Use if fasting or if no food on hand and you won't be

hungry.

>

>

>

> SPEED UP METABOLISM:

>

> Plus up left nostril and breathe through the right

nostril.

>

> GENERATING VITAL FORCE:

>

> Breathe deeply, inhaling slowly to the count of four,

holding to the count of four, and then exhaling to the count of

eight. Do this six times [or more if needed].
