Youth Posture for Balance & Elasticity

when freed by posture stretches. Polarity currents are activated and distributed by the hands from the positive and negative sides of the body. The triune principle of polarity is used throughout this work as finer energies and fields in action.

The exercise illustrated in figure 4 emphasizes muscular elasticity, through the stimulation of the finer currents behind their activity. Normal exchange of all currents and energy waves through the tissues expresses itself as health, elastic response and balance, and as relaxation.

For this posture, we rock into position as gently as for the one shown in figure 1; but here the feet are farther apart to begin with, for more stretch and muscular motion and the freedom attained thereby. The heels should be twelve inches or more apart, and the toes about twenty-four inches or so. The exact distance will vary because muscles differ in tone and elasticity. Accordingly, each one must find his measure and start gently. So this should be done gradually by the individual, as it can be comfortably tolerated. Benefits are obtained with the least amount of effort.

It is not accomplishment of a position that we are after, but the stimulating actions of the currents set into motion by these posture stretches. Those who need them the most will at first feel that they accomplished the least, but they will slowly feel the benefits just the same. It is like turning on a switch and allowing the currents to do the work, instead of wasting a lot of energy in performing acrobatic stunts. All this is based on Nature's finer forces in motion.

In this posture, the arms are placed on the inside of the knees, pushing the knees outward in order to stretch the inner and posterior groups of muscles. The palm and fingers of one hand are placed over the loosely formed fist of the other hand, placing the thumbs side by side - one on each side of the bridge of the nose, in an upward direction - thus supporting the head with the thumbs, while both arms are resting between the two knees, as shown in the illustration.
