The House We Live In & Its Function

man, as a composite, less than the smallest unit of its inherent matter? In our haste for weapons, which led to this discovery, have we forgotten the well-being of humanity, individually and as a whole? Having presented just sufficient groundwork to establish a reasonable basis for the wireless energy currents we intend to work with, we may proceed with the principles involved in the practice of this new idea of exercise that I've called Easy Stretching Postures.

It is through the efficiency of the wireless energy waves that this work is accomplished. This energy exists in the universe as a natural reservoir, and its energy circuits continue their course in man's body, over the brain tissue and the nerves of conduction. This finer energy also flows through the circulation as the life in the air, and through its electromagnetic action, it accomplishes the seemingly impossible feat of traveling through many miles of the finest capillary tubes, arteries, veins and lymph vessels. Without these finer energies, the mind could not operate the senses and benefit through experience in the wireless fields of the universe. This simple statement is almost as stupendous as Harvey's[1] discovery of the circulation of the blood and may shape the healing art of the future.

The Easy Stretching Postures are based upon the function of this finer energy circulating in man's body and in the universe. Simplicity itself is the keynote. The basic squatting posture is as old as the race and as new as a child. Most little children automatically and unconsciously assume this posture while at play. Yet it must be rediscovered and personally tried by the individual - usually in the hour of need - in order to realize its value in enhancing energy current flow, which regulates his well-being.

A Posture for Better Circulation of Energy Currents

When we mention exercise, we think only of muscular exertion, which taxes the body in order to promote better
