Latent Energy Fields in the Body

When the pelvis is right, everything in the foundation of the body structure is right. When the vital energy currents roll naturally in their orbits, there will be less tension, frustration, emotional upsets and restlessness. Many emotional and mental conditions could be benefited by these simple basic relaxation exercises. No force is ever used. All that is required is a gentle coaxing of the mind and emotions along with the muscles and the posture. It is not the accomplishment of the posture which is important, but the energy current flow which is established as a result of the posture. It is not the perspiration - which is merely the effect - but the relaxation and the natural tone gained by the gentle exertion that really matters.

This new principle of exercise (energy-current-release by posture-stretch-relaxation) is a more natural aid to health than all the forceful muscle straining used in many other methods. Athletes do not lengthen their span of life, but rather shorten it by heart strain and hardening of muscles all over, which in turn throws more strain on the central pump. Statistics prove this from sad experience. For example, Frank Gotch, the outstanding wrestler of his time, died at 42 years of age.^[1]

Posture is the simple way of nature, which moves the inner machinery of life's forces and leaves the muscles as elastic as a kitten's. The posture stretch gives more pliability to the fibers and spring to the step, more color to the cheeks and luster to the eyes. "Not by force nor by might, but by my Grace, saith the Lord."^[2]

The age of muscular power is fast passing by, due to the advent of all our modern conveniences and the mechanical leverage of machinery. Might is by mind and atom power now, not by muscle and brawn. In these days things are accomplished by inspiration and integrity around a central principle, not by perspiration. Not by number, but by skill and good will does man accomplish. Brute force is gradually losing out everywhere. It no longer appeals to the youth of this age nor to the female of the specie as an outstanding accomplishment. Agility
