SCIENCE OF BREATH. 89 



fnJl of prana until the diseased condition is driven out. 

 Every once in a while raise the hands and "flick" t*"j 

 ingers as if you were throwing off the diseased condition 

 It is well to do this occasionally and also to wash the 

 hands after treatment, as otherwise you may take on a 

 trace of the diseased condition of the patient; Also prac- 

 tice the Cleansing Breath several times after the treatment 

 During the treatment let the prana pour into the patient in 

 one continuous stream, allowing yourself to be merely the 

 pumping machinery connecting the patient with the uni- 

 versal supply of prana, and allowing it to flow freely 

 Hi rough you. You need not work the hands vigorously, but 

 simply enough that the prana freely reaches the affected 

 parts. The rhythmic breathing must be practiced fre- 

 quently during the treatment, so as to keep the rhythm 

 normal and to afford the prana a free passage. It is better 

 to place the hands on the bare skin, but where this is not 

 advisable or possible place them over the clothing. Vary 

 above method occasionally during the treatment by strok- 

 ing the body gently and softly with the finger tips, the 

 fingers being kept slightly separated. This is very sooth- 

 ing to the patient. In cases of long standing you may find it 

 helpful to give the mental command in words, such as "get 

 out, get out," or "be strong, be strong," as the case may be, 

 the words helping you to exercise the will more forcibly 

 and to the point Vary these instructions to suit the needs 

 of the case, and use your own judgment and inventive 

 faculty. We have given you the general principles and you 

 can apply them in hundreds of different ways. The above 

 apparently simple instruction, if carefully studied and ap- 

 plied, will enable one to accomplish all that the leading 

 "magnetic healers" are able to, although their "systems" 

 are more or less cumbersome and complicated. They are 

 using prana ignorantly and calling it "magnetism." If 

 they would combine rhythmic breathing with their "mag- 

 netic" treatment they would double their efficiency.
