A Purifying Diet

A simple and easy exercise would be to sit on the side of the bed or a chair and place both hands on the chair, outside of the knees, and bend forward as far as it is comfortable. Then, with your hands braced thus, push the body upward and backward with your hands, to lift the body back into the straight, sitting posture. You will then feel this freeing movement between the shoulders and the back, which relieves that tension and weariness at once. Do this for about five minutes, any time when you are sitting down. It will surprise you by its effective helpfulness and relief of shoulder tension, pain and gases. This is an unusually simple and efficient exercise for anyone. It is so easy to do at any time or place. Asthmatics get great relief from it. This exercise is illustrated in Part II.^[1]

The subject of exercise can be elucidated by an explanation of certain primary energy principles, and Part II of this book does just that and also illustrates many simple and easy exercises that have a remarkable vitalizing effect.
