1281 The Law of the Rhythmic Breath 



culation of Prdna in the human body from the 

 moment that its two currents positive and nega- 

 tive establish their northern and southern cen- 

 ters of influence in the embryo; the northern, or 

 positive, focus becoming the brain center; and the 

 southern, or negative, the heart. The interaction 

 of these two currents working from center to cen- 

 ter, back and forth in rhythm with the Great 

 Breath of the Universe, guided, directed, and re- 

 strained by the Tattvic vibrations emanating from 

 every center of force in the starry firmament, grad- 

 ually builds up the marvelous nervous and vascular 

 systems connecting these two centers of life, and 

 ramifying thence throughout the human entity till 

 the living temple is made ready for the in-dwelling 

 soul! 



Thus, as related to each other, the nervous sys- 

 tem is positive and the blood system negative; but 

 the diurnal rotation of our earth affects our bodies 

 as it is itself affected, and gives rise to other cur- 

 rents which divide these systems into East and 

 West, or positive and negative halves. The right 

 jside of the body corresponds to the East, and is 

 under positive influence; and the left side to the 

 West, and is negatively affected. Then the cor- 

 relative influence of all these currents develops in 

 each center the brain and the heart a further 

 division into lower and upper chambers. In the 

 northern center we know the upper, or positive,
