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 established _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 energy is
being distributed all over the body, to every organ and 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 nerve 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 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 and greatly refreshes and strengthens the
nervous system and produces a restful feeling all over the body. It is
especially beneficial In cases where one is tired or feels a lack of
energy.

(3) INHIBITING PAIN.

Lying down or sitting erect, breath rhythmically, holding the thought
that you are inhaling prana. Then when you exhale, send the prana to
the painful part to re-establish 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 fin
