beneficial in cases where one is tired or feels a lack of 

 energy. 



(3) INHIBITING PAIN. 



Lying down or sitting erect, breath rhythmically, hold- 

 ing the thought that you are inhaling prana. Then when 

 you exhale, send the prana to the painful part to re-estab- 

 lish the circulation and nerve current. Then inhale more 

 prana for the purpose of driving out the painful condition; 

 then exhale, holding the thought that you are driving 

 out the pain. Alternate the two above mental commands, 

 and with one exhalation stimulate the part and with the 

 next drive out the pain. Keep this up for seven breaths, 

 then practice the Cleansing Breath and rest a while. Then 

 try It again until relief comes, which will be before long. 

 Many pains will be found to be relieved before the seven 

 breaths are finished. If the hand is placed over the painful 

 part, you may get quicker results. Send the current of 

 prana down the arm and into the painful part. 



(4) DIRECTING THE CIRCULATION. 



Lying down or sitting erect, breathe rhythmically, and 

 with the exhalations direct the circulation to any part you 

 wish, which may be suffering from imperfect circulation. 

 This is effective in cases of cold feet or in cases of head- 

 ache, the blood being sent downward in both cases, In the 

 first case warming the feet, and in the latter, relieving the 

 brain from too great pressure. In the case of headache, try 

 the Pain Inhibiting first, then follow with sending the blood 

 downward. You will often feel a warm feeling in the 

 legs as the circulation moves downward. The circulation 

 is largely under the control of the will and rhythmic breath- 

 ing renders the task easier. 



(5) SELF-HEALING. 



Lying in a relaxed condition, breathe rhythmically, and 

 ."ommand that a good supply of prana be inhaled. With 

 ihe exhalation, send the prana to the affected part for th 

 purpose of stimulating it. Vary this occasionally by ex- 

 haling, with the mental command that the diseased condi- 

 tion be forced out and disappear. Use the hands in thia
