Chart No. 3
[See Book 3, Chart 3]
The line of life is the third main line in the plam [palm] of the hand of man. It has its origin with the head line and swings around the base of the thumb in a majestic arc at the foundation of the Mount of Venus. It usually unites the fate and health lines unto itself near its apex. It proceeds from the airy head principle and measures the degrees of life, like a thermometer in our hand and we see it not, but go our way until the Monitor calls a halt to our heedless or reckless adventure which we call life.
We admire intellect, but we have not the time, the interest nor the understanding to see its gentle sprouts in our own hands. This degree of intelligence, bestowed in our hand by the Giver of life is far more valuable to us actually than the diplomas on the wall. What the Giver of life bestows is a reality and must be earned. It crowns every one of our efforts and struggles as we ourselves write them in perspiration and in blood on the pages of life and, when the emotions are involved, also in tears and frustration. By struggle through resistance, we write living pages in the book of our own life.
It is my endeavor to interpret the handwritings on the walls of tissues in our lives into actual values and lessons of application which may help anyone who uses them in an intelligent effort, the same as is put forth in the learning of a trade or a profession.
The heart center with all the radiating life energy is like a fountain which supplies the body with the water of life, the fire of warmth and the breath of life to sustain, rebuild and nourish all parts.
This is also the center of feeling and deep emotion. Respiration is closely connected with the emotional impulses and the heart beats. The diaphragm is the respiratory muscle which separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. The right and left phrenic nerves supply this muscle. Contacts under the floating ribs, immediately below the diaphragm, similar to that shown in figure 5 of chart No.8, have a powerful and highly beneficial effect on this whole vital function. A contact made with the little finger close to the ribs may even give a splenic energy block release for throat trouble and in fevers, via the etheric energy of polarity reflex as well as the phrenic nerve. The reflex is often felt in the throat and relieves the dryness there as well as the accompanying symptoms of watery eyes and nose. In heart trouble and respiratory blocks and also for release of indigestion and liver function, the seat of the trouble can be found and released by the application of POLARITY THERAPY at this and its corresponding centers.
The negative pole of the heart's sensory center is located in the perineal floor. These muscles synchronize with the diaphragm in the function of respiration. Contacts here are valuable in pelvic conditions and emotional frustrations, also in pregnancy. The PERINEAL TECHNIQUE is completely covered in books I[1] and II[2].
The centers in the brain and their energy blocks which register as sore spots on the skull can also be polarized and released by Polarity contacts with this neuter [neutral] radiating heart center. The occiput forms the positive pole of a broad triangular space which covers the motor area and centers of involuntary function above, co-ordinated with the sacrum and structural correction are important here. These are given in this book and book IV, entitled "The Mysterious Sacrum".
