86 SCIENCE OF BEE AT R. 



our last chapter. In the following exercises, in order to 

 avoid useless repetition, we will say merely, "Breathe 

 Rhythmically," and then give the instruction for the exer- 

 cise of the psychic force, or directed Will power working 

 in connection with the rhythmic breath vibrations. After 

 a little practice you will find that you will not need to 

 count after the first rhythmic breath, as the mind will 

 grasp the idea of time and rhythm and you will be able to 

 breathe rhythmically at pleasure, almost automatically. 

 This will leave the mind clear for the sending of the 

 psychic vibrations under the direction of the Will. (See 

 the following first exercise for directions in using the Will.) 



(2) PRANA DISTRIBUTING. 



Lying flat on the floor or bed, completely relaxed, with 

 hands resting lightly over the Solar Plexus (over the pit of 

 the stomach, where the ribs begin to separate), breathe 

 rhythmically. After the rhythm is fully establshed will 

 that each inhalation will draw in an increased supply of 

 prana or vital energy from the Universal supply, which will 

 be taken up by the nervous system and stored in the Solar 

 Plexus. At each exhalation will that the prana or vital f 

 energy is being distributed all over the body, to every organ 

 ana part; to every muscle, cell and atom; to nerve, artery 

 and vein; from the top of your head to the soles of your 

 feet; invigorating, strengthening and stimulating every 

 nerve; recharging every uerve center; sending energy, force 

 and strength all over the system. While exercising the 

 will, try to form a mental picture of the inrushing prana, 

 coming in through the lungs and being taken up at once 

 by the Solar Plexus, then with the exhaling effort, being 

 sent to all parts of the system, down to the finger tips and 

 down to the toes. It is not necessary to use the Will with 

 an effort. Simply commanding that which you wish j to 

 produce and then making the mental picture of it is |all 

 that is necessary. Calm command with the mental picture 

 is far better than forcible willing, which only dissipates 

 force needlessly. The above exercise is most helpful apd 

 greatly refreshes and strengthens the nervous system and 

 produces a restful feeling all over the body. It is especially
