ished. 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 headache, 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 breathing renders the task easier.

(5) SELF-HEALING.

Lying in a relaxed condition, breathe rhythmically, and command that a
good supply of prana be inhaled. With the exhalation, send the prana
to the affected part for the purpose of stimulating it. Vary this
occasionally by exhaling, with the mental command that the diseased
condition be forced out and disappear. Use the hands in this exercise,
passing them down the body from the head to the affected part. In
using the hands in healing yourself or others always hold the mental
image that the prana is flowing down the arm and through the finger
tips into the body, thus reaching the affected part and healing it. Of
course we can give only general directions in this book without taking
up the several forms of disease in detail, but a little practice of
the above exercise, varying it slightly to fit the conditions of the
case, will produce wonderful results. Some Yogis follow the plan of
placing both hands on the affected part, and then breathing
rhythmically, holding the mental image that they are fairly pumping
prana into the diseased organ and part, stimulating it and driving out
diseased conditions, as pumping into a pail of dirty water will drive
out the latter and fill the bucket with fresh water. This last plan is
very effective if the mental image of the pump is clearly held, the
inhalation representing the lifting of the pump handle and the
exhalation the actual pumping.

(6) HEALING OTHERS.

We cannot take up the question of the psychic treatment of disease by
prana in detail in this book, as such would be foreign to its purpose.
But we can and will give
