Polarity Yoga for Health - Simple Stretches for All Ages

earth level fulcrum base. In my Polarity Yoga for Health, no artificial regulation of breathing is necessary to obtain results. We are dealing with the prana distribution direct in its action on the five tattwas [tattvas] or elements in the body.

THE VISION AND ITS REFLECTION IN SPACE: The symbol of the cross in Nature's energy field is the vertical axis crossing the horizontal line of earth's energy. When the cross is folded up, it makes a perfect cube, the principle in balance of the two forces of the "superior" and the "inferior", as I have often illustrated. It is the Great Work of the soul when established and embodied in the consciousness, and it was called the "Magnum Opus" by Hermes in ancient times. It is "the spiritous earth" mentioned in his "Tablet".[1] In the book of Revelations, it is described as the "City of Jerusalem", as a perfect square, descending from the heavens.[2] This is one of the great secrets of the labors of the soul, opening the inner chakras or centers in the body and discovering the Life Energy behind the veil of matter. The Totem Pole of the American Indians [Native Americans] conveyed the same message.[3]

Practical application of this study of Nature's vital energy, as applied to the body for health and well-being, really has to be taught in person as an art of subtle energy stretches, with concentrated attention and devotion. Only five minutes of this practice every day can do wonders to keep the body fit. But it must be done correctly, so the energy flows, so the hinges and energy blocks are freed, and so the great "Masonic Arch" - the connection with the soul - is re-established consciously. This SELF-REALIZATION, by uniting and directing the energies inward, was the objective of the real temple builders of old.

Words and pictures cannot convey it nor can postures alone produce the maximum results. I am really surprised that even dedicated persons have to be shown this simple art over and over, again and again, to tune into the right octave of Nature's prana, the current of the Breath of Life, and the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid as conductor for the life
