The Airy Principle as a Triune Function in the Body

The natural exit for all colonic gases is the anus. Even though the outlet is so near the reservoir, it is often very difficult to expel the gases. There are many mechanical answers in books, but they help little when one has a real belly-ache due to gas pains. The squatting postures assist this process as well as the general currents of energy flowing downward for the digestive and eliminative processes.

Gas pains are one of the main post-operative problems, for which the good doctor has no pills. Even allowing the patient to move around soon after an operation, while it helps, is not the answer to the problem. Then what is? The answer is that there is a downward function of energy in Nature, called "apana" in the Eastern terms of old, which is embodied in the airy principle and causes the normal expulsion or elimination in the lower, natural outlets of the body - and this is activated by the squatting posture and by Polarity Therapy. Even in childbirth, this is the active principle which causes the delivery of the baby. It is the current which flows over these abdominal and pelvic muscles and causes them to contract. The primitive tribes had this ancient knowledge as a heritage from their ancestors, and women would take a natural, squatting posture for delivery. In their natural state of good health, childbirth seldom delayed the moving tribes.

It would be helpful to expectant mothers to prepare and condition the pelvis for the delivery of the child. The muscles of the pelvic floor could be toned and made more elastic by these simple stretching postures, beginning immediately after conception. In the later stages of pregnancy, let the physician in charge decide what is best. If one has cultivated the habit of taking these postures long before conception and in the early stages of pregnancy, it may also relieve or eliminate the excruciating leg pains with which pregnant women are often troubled. Even after childbirth, the easy stretching postures help in restoring the normal figure.
