show that their muscles will contract and relax five times as rapidly when warm than when cold. When cooled to five°F. [degrees Fahrenheit, -15 degrees Celsius], they will not contract at all, a condition known as cold rigor. On the other hand, if raised to a temperature much above 104°F. [degrees Fahrenheit, 40 degrees Celsius], they become stiff and will not contract, a condition called heat rigor. The effect of heat upon the muscles of warm-blooded animals is essentially the same, except a few degrees higher in temperature.

The blood flows rapidly in the large arteries, but as they branch, the total area of arteries becomes greater so that it flows more and more slowly, just as a river flows swiftly through a narrow gorge but more slowly when it spreads out into a broad stream. In the large arteries near the heart, blood flows at the rate of about sixteen inches per second. Farther from the heart the rate is about nine inches per second; in the smaller arteries it is much slower; in the capillaries it flows not more than 1/50 inch per second. After passing into the veins, the rate increases and as the veins merge into trunks and finally reach the heart, it is about as rapid as the arteries that leave the heart. It is in the capillaries that the blood exchanges new food materials for worn-out matter, and oxygen for carbon dioxide. To allow this to take place to advantage a very slow flow is necessary. The length of time required for the blood to make a complete circuit of the body is calculated at twenty-eight seconds, requiring twenty-six to twenty-eight heart beats.

In therapy, these simple facts are important for definite results. Tissue reactions depend upon the conditioning of energy fields and its lines of force which are crystallized into a physiological constitution of organisms, organs and tissues. The established keynote of vibratory energy rate and its polarity acts from the central impulse of origin. In its polarity function it will attract what electrons and finer energy particles it can blend into its own neuter [neutral] field to sustain it and to keep it in relationship with the storehouse of supply. Inversely, it will react and repel everything else in order to maintain its integrity of attraction, and its specific keynote and function. It will react to gravity and any outside force with which it comes in contact. All therapy is conditioned by this polarity principles of action and reaction. Fine subtle energies and gentle applications of a directional force have a chance to reach the neuter [neutral] pole without being repelled.

As there are three poles of vibratory keynotes of energy currents, there must be three types of therapy to meet these requirements.

First, there is a neuter [neutral] or gentle type of application, the Satva [Sattva, Sattwa] principle of truth and balance, to soothe the agitated centers or spinning energy fields. These applications must be fine in their directional force of potential energy, like the lightest touch of a polarized finger to an opposite polarity region, or the essence and spirit of a plant or food, or bathing the body in the finest waves of electro-magnetic [electromagnetic] force by creating an electronic energy field and allowing the body to rest in it to polarize it with the universal external currents and lines of force. This must be so fine that it is imperceptible to the tissues and does not arouse them to reaction. Sympathy and polarity is its keynote. It must be a magnetic likeness and soothing in action. Comforting suggestions and inspirational uplift will help the mind to concentrate its scattered energy and to repolarize its various centers. The breath contains the life energy and goes to every cell. These impulses travel over the life waves and go deep. Deep breathing with a concentrated idea distributes the impulse of the Pranic mental waves. A balancing of the three poles of the diaphragm can be accomplished by this therapy; the mental, emotional tension release in the upper areas; the head, neck and over the shoulders; the respiratory, emotional energy of life under the shoulders and at the diaphragm; and the vital emotional energy in the pelvis, sacrum, and perineum. Conservation and preservation of energy thru [through] repolarization is the effort here.
