Chapter 1. How Yoga Can Bring You the Flexible Spine of a Young Person
Using Superior Body Mechanics to Conquer the Clutch of Gravity
A. How Yoga specifically helps you. Yoga mov-asanas (moving postures) will bring you
miracle health by overcoming The Four Natural Health Wreckers which ruin you form without
and within. These are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
In one way or another, these four health villains undermine you every moment of the day,
convert you into an inferior person, age you prematurely, and shorten your life markedly. But
you can resist their scourges amazingly with Yoga mov-asanas.
B. How the Clutch of Gravity on You Ruins Your Life. The incessant down pull of
gravity on you alters your anatomy, your physiology, and your mental and psychic responses.
Over thousands of years, due to mankinds two-legged stance, gravity has altered your inherited
skeletal structure. Most of the stress of gravity on you is borne by the intervertebral discs of your
balancing spine. These are the 24 small pads of fibrous cartilage which are sandwiched between
every pair of you 24 vertebrae. They act as shock absorbers against every strain and stress on
your spinal column.
But your intervertebral discs (also called spinal discs) shrink with age and use. During
your lifetime you may lose a total of three to four inches or more in height. If you could delay
the death-dealing shrinking of your intervertebral discs about 25 percent, you could live
considerably longer, look much younger, feel much taller and stronger, overcome disease more
easily, and be far more fascinating to others. The Yoga mov-asana to delay the death-dealing
shrinking of your intervertebral discs is:
The Resting Back Arch Yoga mov-asana
1. Lie flat on your back.
2. Bend your knees and flex them to your chest.
3. Clasp them with your arms.
4. Exhale and clasp your knees so tightly with your arms that your hips rise several inches off the
floor or your bed. (You will feel a strong pull all through the lower two-thirds of your
back. At the same time,
5. Raise your head slightly off the ground and stretch it away from your body. (You will feel a
strong pull all the way through your neck and the upper part of your back).
Frequency: 10 times. 1 set. Once a day.
Special Yoga Breathing to Expand Your Rib Cage (Your Solar Breath)
When your rib box shrinks to small that it should be, your heart cannot do its best job, no
matter how wisely you eat, exercise, or think. Your heart requires room to enlarge when your
blood fills it. If the room is limited, your heart has to push the neighboring structures out of its
way. But since your heart cannot push your rib box out of its way, it over enlarges
(hypertrophies) in its vain effort to do so. But that enlargement thickens its own wall and
reduces the space for blood within its own chambers. So, the amount of oxygen-carrying blood
that can pass through it is diminished in those two ways, and your body cells and your brain
receive less life-giving oxygen to carry on your life functions. Solve this impasse by expanding
your rib cage. The secret Yoga mov-asana for it is:
Your Solar Breath Yoga mov-asana
1. Sit comfortably in a straight chair, hands resting, palms down, on your thighs.
2. Starting breathing way down deep in your diaphragm.
3. Expand the breathing up your mid-section until your rib box is popping from front to back,
and from side to side.
4. Dont hold your breath when your rib box is popping. Exhale then, instead.
Frequency: 2 repetitions. 2 sets a day. 5 times a week.
What Your Solar Breath mov-asana does for you:
1. Develops your breathing muscles and helps your heart and lungs to function more efficiently.
2. Increases the height of your rib box, thereby elevating your chest/breasts.
3. Your higher rib box permits more energy with prana (oxygen) to be carried in your blood to
6
your brain. That increase the voltage of the nerve electricity which your brain discharges
into your body. Your superior at work feels surer of you. You think sharper and with
more originality.
4. Stimulates the vertebrae halfway up on your upper back (your 4-5 dorsals). Stimulates those
vertebrae by your waistline (your twelfth dorsal). All these improve your aorta, heart, and
bladder. They also relax your visceral spasms, such as those of the far end of your
stomach, and of your duodenum, the small intestine into which your stomach passes your
partially-digested food.
4. Without your even suspecting it, you start drawing to you swiftly the best things in life. You
think faster, more flexibly, and create easier.
5. You relieve muscular micro-spasms in your back and help renormalize the alignments of your
different vertebrae.
4. Restores most of your lost natural height by stretching and straightening your spine. Tones up
most of your muscles.
5. Helps to relieve your psychic allergy headache which may have been erroneously attributed to
nervous tension.
6. Helps to slenderize your waist and flatten your abdomen.
7. Makes you taller and broader shouldered. Expands your chest. Triggers your bowels.
Improves your sight. Keens your ears, shapes your mind.
8. If you are a woman, it gives you a streamline, wasp-waisted figure.
Myotatic Relaxer (page 27), on several occasions a day to re-straighten your spine as much as
possible when it is misshapen. And do The Yoga Back Curl, (page 19), to keep your spine
normally straight with your sacrospinalis (spinal erector) muscles. Sit down when you dont
have to stand, and lie down when you are weary and dont have to sit. Rest your spine from the
merciless down pull of gravity and relieve your spinal nerves from the compression of the
vertebrae above and below. You will be astonished at how much you will spare your back
throughout the day and help insure your living to a ripe old age with a young back.

Chapter 2. How Yoga Makes Your Limbs Youthful and Supple for
Extraordinary Well-Being
How Strength in Arms and Legs Helps You Resist Disease
When your arms and legs are strong, you are inclined to be physically active. Physical
activity stimulates your sympathetic nervous system, the system that fights off disease. When
you stop being physically active on a regular basis, your bodys defenses weaken. To feel
strong, too, which you do when your arms and legs feel solid, fills you with a positive attitude
against disease. You feel confident that you can fight it off, for you feel confidant that you can
climb three flights of stairs easily, sprint the length of your block, drive your car for long hours at
a stretch (which, of course, I dont recommend), play golf over a long course, defend yourself
against an assailant, and perform many other physical feats which you would not dream of with
soft arms and legs.
When you dont feel well, besides, you can still remain active if your limbs are solid.
When you are confined to bed, you recover faster because you can get up and move about sooner.
As I describe in Somo-Psychic Power: Using Its Miracle Forces for a Fabulous New Life, the
tone of your muscles tones your mind, and reflexly, makes it stronger. With a strong mind you
resist disease more easily.
The Arm Herculizer
1. Jam a table against the wall, or you can use a sink.
2. Stand before it, with your feet about hip-width apart.
3. Place your palms against the edge of it, each palm about 3 inches beyond the width of your
body.
4. Keep you knees practically straight (but not stiff and straight).
How to do this Yoga mov-asana
5. Bend over far forward, keeping your hips close to the sink.
6. Resist your bodys bending over by pushing your palms hard against the edge of the table or
sink. Wear gloves to protect your palms.
7. As your elbows bend, try to keep them perpendicular to the sink. You wont be able to, but
prevent them from bending backwards more than halfway (or more than a 45 degree
angle ).
8. Bend your body over until your arms are fully bent, contracting your biceps fully.
9. Your palms will then be bent back from your wrists, as well as turned outwards, causing your
biceps to contract to a super-peak.
10. The eye-catching muscle of your inner forearm (your brachoradialis) will stand out
prominently and build shapely, powerful-looking forearms.
11. Your abdominal muscles will contract hard as you bend over.
Frequency: 5-10 repetitions. 3 sets (groups of repetitions). 4 times a week.

1. If you are a man, develops powerful, big-muscled thighs. If you are a woman, proportions
them in a beautiful, sexy way. Wears off their ugly lumps, firms their skin and smooths
them out. If knees get sore, skip 1 week.
2. Draws more blood to your thighs and hips, throwing you into a parasympathetic nervous
system circadian rhythm. You feel gleeful, as a result, and sexually renewed. Turns you
romantic; also aggressive in a career.
3. Proportions your shoulders girlishly, if you are a woman. Bulks up the corners of your
shoulders into statuesque globes if you are a man.
4. To an extent, helps overcome simple constipation.
5. Strengthens you hip and knee joints.

hour to another. With your nervous system, though, your neck-shoulder line is a potent concept.
With it you can maintain your different circadian rhythms poised in effective balances and
remain stable all day long, no matter what you face. Filling out nicely your eye-catching neckshoulder lines equalizes the muscle tension of both sides of your body by developing them
evenly. The two sides of your body then automatically fire all day long to the motor (musclecommanding) centers of your brain equal feelings of power. Your brain, in turn, fires these
feelings to the glands and viscera on both sides of your body evenly, instead of unevenly, as it
does when the two sides of your body are not equally toned or developed. Your tendencies to
instability are immensely stabilized thereby and your temper and your energy brought
automatically under mental control all day.
The Best Least-Time to Exercise Per Week
One of the questions which students of my books and courses repeatedly ask is, What is
the least time to exercise per week to get the most benefits?
The answer differs for each individual. If you gain weight easily, exercise longer and do
more repetitions of each Yoga mov-asana, but make them a little easier. If you are slender and
wish to gain more bulk (if you are a man), or more roundness or fullness (if you are a woman),
do less repetitions, but resist each one harder and build up your contours instead of trimming
them down.
If you are overweight, trim yourself down by exercising five times a week. If you have
time, six times a week is preferable. But change every other day to different mov-asanas to
prevent your muscles and joints form being overused in the same movements.
If you are underweight, build up your body by exercising as little as three to four times a
week. Use full force with each repetition, but rest on the following day to let new tissue build up
in you.
Jogging three or four times a week is highly recommended. If you are young enough and
engage in competition, jog as much as five times a week. Alternate between two days of distance
running and two days of sprinting and walking. To run five days a week after 30 could afflict
you, in time, with arthritis of the knees or hips. The over-erect position of running and
propelling your legs backwards overarches your lower back like an acrobats. Such a movement,
when repeated for years, could wear down the posterior widths of your spinal discs prematurely
and cripple you with arthritis of your lower back.
Note: Jog, preferably, on soft ground or on a running track. The trauma of running on
hard pavement can, in time, cause arthritis of your knees. The mov-asanas alone, however, are
sufficient for your whole body and great for your mind, too.
Triggering Your Kundalini for a Striking Chest or Breast
The kundalini has been defined as being psychic energy located in the spine. It is the
physical source of the miracle power of healing of the Yogi. Make it your own with the Yoga
mov-asana, The Brachial Bow.

Chapter 4. How Yoga Helps People of All Ages Develop Healthy, Attractive
Skin, Teeth, Gums, Eyes, and Ears
How Wrinkles May Be Reduced
Repeatedly during the day, and even when you sleep or dream, your thinking and your
volcanic emotions draw your brows tight with muscle tension and stamp them with the harassed
look. Your brows form into noticeable, forbidding swells and lend your face an aloof,
austere, older aspect. Your physiological (circadian) rhythms function increasingly out of step
with each other as you grow older, anyway. Thats why, as the years march on, you acquire
extreme sensitivity to slight changes in schedule, to small doses of drugs, and to moderate
changes in light, temperature, or noise acuity. These changes manifest themselves in your
emotions and contract the muscles of your scalp, face, neck, and upper body. These emotions
regularly form unnecessary wrinkles on these parts and add from five to 15 years to your apparent
age. Overcome this natural handicap and look much younger by considerably reducing the
wrinkles on these parts of your body. The secret Yoga mov-asana for it is:
Your Luring Brow
1. Sit and face your image in the mirror.
2. Visualize your brows as bulging tight beneath your skin (for they are).
3. Make yourself aware of that tightness and of the petulant, irritable, harassed, antisocial aspect
it lends your face.
4. Stare at the space between your eyes. Imagine that your eyes are so close together simply
because tight brows are drawing them that near. Assume that if you could relax your
brows, your eyes would shift wider apart. Now,
5. Visualize yourself shifting your eyes wide apart with sheer willpower. Stare at the small
space between them and see it widen.
6. Try to follow the direction of the side-shifting of each eye. Your left eye will then look as if it
is more to your left, and your right eye as if it is more to your right both at the same
time.
Frequency: 10 times a day. 5 days a week.
7. Your external eye muscles relax a little and let your eyes drift farther apart, as they do when
you sleep or gaze lazily into space.
8. Your brows follow suit, due to the reflex connections between their nerves and those of the
external muscles of your eyes.
9. After a little practice (in a week or less) your brows will relax when you merely think that
your eyes are wider apart than they actually are.
What Your Luring Brow does for you:
22
1. Relaxes your scalp, face, neck, and upper body, due to the reflex connections between their
nerves and those of your brows. The wrinkles on your brows instantly reduce. When done
regularly your expression wrinkles will practically vanish, and new ones will be
prevented from forming.
2. Conquers tension headaches produced by the tension of the muscles of you scalp, neck, and
upper body.
3. You look much younger in an instant. Your mind turns inventive.
An Eastern Method of Encouraging the Growth of Hair
Your hair, like your fingernails and toenails, is not living tissue. But like them, it grows
when cut. This is the secret which certain little-known Yogis have used to grow hair back on
their balding heads. My own head was alarmingly baldish for ten years before I applied this
secret myself and grew back 85 percent of my hair. This is how to apply this Yogi secret
scientifically:
1. Lather with shaving cream the balding area of your scalp.
2. With a safety razor, shave the balding area. (If you arent self-conscious, shave off all
your hair).
3. Save it again every four days, or as soon as the roots in the balding sport are as stubby
as a two or three day old beard.
4. Do not shave your head with a barber clip. The edge does not reach the dying roots
deeply enough to irrate and stimulate their regrowth.
5. Repeat this procedure for about two to six weeks, if convenient. Repeat it during the
same period in the following year, if you wish.
6. All your hair might not grow back, but as much as 90 to 95 percent of it might. Mine
practically did! So did that of my dentist uncle, of my first cousin, and of many people to whom
I taught the secret.
7. You dont have to massage your scalp unless you want to. Dont even comb or brush
the shave hair stubs. I agree with the Yogis that brushing injures the hair. The sharp ends of the
bristles tear your scalp, sandpaper the hair off, and encourages scar tissue to grow over your
injured hair follicles and entomb them.
8. Apply no lotion or salve to your shaved scalp. Let the irritated hair follicles remain
fully exposed to air and light.
9. Your falling hair will grow back coarser and stronger and to your astonishment
strikingly thicker! Your friends will stop feeling sorry for you.
10. When outdoors thereafter, wear a hat or a cap to shield your scalp from the sun during
the hot hours of the day. The Yogis blame the intense rays of the sun as a leading cause of
baldness (and I agree with them). Too much hair grooming is equally to blame. Comb your hair
the least possible when you comb it. If it is practical, comb it only once or twice a week. The
comb tears out too many roots otherwise. But most people have to comb it every day, of course,
for appearance.
23
lower back, too, where your adrenal glands are located stimulates the dynamism of these
glands into controlling your daily hormonal secretion rhythms. You fall into stride with
your best natural physiological cycle.
2. With the chopping wood action you let off steam. You can then control your emotions
much easier during your active hours.
3. Wears off excess flesh from your lower back, and some from your sides.
4. Fills your brain with fresh new blood.
Loosening Your Muscles to Relax Your Nerves
Dont ignore pain as a matter of principle. When it is not muscular, it may be the
warning signal of some serious condition in your body. But when a diagnosis indicates that your
pain is simply a bothersome or nagging one which you are advised to tolerate (such as, from
arthritis, synovitis, bursitis, strained joints, sciatica, and other conditions which dont heal
quickly), no Yogi would advise you to resort to tranquilizers, braces, anesthetic injections, or to
any other non-natural meansunless you are being treated by a professional healer. Such pain
relievers weaken your muscles or joints, or flood your system with drugs that mask the pain but
undermine your health and leave you at the mercy of other ailments or diseases. It is wiser to
control your pain without them.
Heat and ice packs, both, when applied to your painful areas, reduce the pain, although
for the opposite reasons. Heat increases the flow of blood through your painful part and removes
the waste accumulating in ti, the acidity of which is the cause of the pain. Ice packs, on the other
hand, chill the nerve endings in the painful part, thus preventing them from conveying the pain
messages to your brain.
But is impractical to apply hot or cold applications to your painful area when your are
outside your home or at work. You can reduce the intensity of the pain you feel, however, by
simply relaxing. When you are calm, your brain evaluates the pain messages it receives from
your painful part, with much less intensity. When you are tense or jittery, in contrast, your brain
exaggerates the pain messages it receives from your painful part. Much of the agony from which
you suffer when nervous and overwrought, for example, vanishes when you relax. When your
mind is deeply engrossed in other matters, in fact, it even ignores altogether the pain messages it
receives from any part of you. A boxer fighting with a broken jaw or knuckle, who hardly feels
pain until after the contest, is a striking instance.
That is the secret of why the Yogi feels no pain, even when strapped down upon a bed of
sharp nails, or with a pin stuck through his cheek or arm. You yourself can acquire that power.
That is the Yogis secret, made scientific. Here is the mov-asana for you to acquire a similar
power to serve you daily in emergencies.
1. Clench your fists tightly.
2. Hold them clenched for five seconds, or until your forearm muscles start to pain you. Then
3. Relax your fists completely by extending your fingers fully. Your forearm muscles will stop
paining you fast.
4. Clench you fists tightly again. Imagine this time that a painful part of your body has been
25
transferred to your forearms. Feel your forearms hurt as much as the painful part, in
other words, but feel the painful part itself hurt no more.
5. Relax your fists completely again by extending your fingers all the way. This time, though,
feel all the transferred pain in your forearms leave them through your hands and fingers
INTO THE AIR.
That is how the Yogi controls any pain in his body with hardly a move. He just loosens
his muscles to relax his nerves. Master this easy pain-transferring Yogi secret and free yourself
from pain anytime, anywhere, by merely clenching and unclenching your fists.
The Yoga Calf-Raise
1. Set two triangular blocks close to a partition, or corner of a doorway, parallel to each other,
hip-width apart. Point the high ends away from the wall.
2. Stand with your back against the wall, with your feet flat on the blocks. Your toes will lie
several inches higher than your heels.
3. Look directly ahead of you to keep your back straight.
4. Raise your body up and down at a medium pace (about two raises pe second). Push up from
the balls of your feet.
5. Repeat ten times.
6. Step off the blocks. Walk around for about ten seconds to relax your calves. Then repeat.
Frequency: 10 repetitions. 3 sets. Eventually, raise the repetitions to 20 or 30.
What The Yoga Calf-Raise mov-asana does for you.
1. Strengthens your ankles and insteps.
2. Develops or fills out the inner muscles of your calves (your soleus muscles) and removes the
long-ankled look, if you have one.
3. Your feet feel springy and alive. Soon, long standing will hardly bother them, although you
should avoid subjecting them to such trauma.
4. Jogging or using your legs strenuously in any occupation or sport will fatigue you less.
5. You will feel considerably younger and happieror like your old self again.
6. Dont do this mov-asana with weights in your hands. If you are overweight, do less
repetitions. If you are underweight, do more. But dont exceed 12 repetitions a set.

systems are disturbed by it . Lift the pressure off you neck nerves and return your brain functions

condition, but which circulates fresh, nourishing blood through them which also removes their
accumulated waste products.
For Tennis Elbow
1. Stand or sit with your arms hanging loosely by your sides.
2. Close your fists.
3. Now, twist your arms outwards.
Frequency: Do it from 10 to 50 times
4. Repeat by twisting your arms inwards the same number of times.
What this Yoga mov-asana does for you:
1. Stretches the tightened, inflamed muscle attachments around your afflicted elbow and reduces
the amount of accumulated waste products in it.
Final words:
1. Repeat this arm-twisting mov-asana several different times a day. You cant remove the
soreness from your muscle tendons by stretching them only now and then. You have to
stretch them at several different times during the day. Even then, they will stiffen up
again when you rest overnight. But they will limber up faster next day when you stretch
them again.
2. In two or three days the tightened muscles will be stretched out again, the inflammation will
diminish tremendously or vanish, and the crippling soreness will end. Otherwise, you
could suffer from the malady for months or years, and from recurrences the moment you
repeat regularly the original movement that caused it.

Chapter 6. How Yoga Allows You to Maintain Your Vitality Through the
Years
How a Secret Yogi Alpha Brain Wave Changes Your Outlook
Most people are somewhat afraid of growing less attractive as they grow older. The
threat frightens you early in life, grows with the years, and turns your natural, healthy brain
waves wild. Since all your brain waves are projected from your brain into your body, your
physiology responds to their inharmonious rhythms, your facial expression may turn sour, and
you may come down with mysterious ills. Use your own natural brain waves to discipline these
discordant brain waves to restore your health and sweeten your expression. The scientific Yoga
mov-asana to achieve this is:
Your Face-Sweetening Alpha Brain Wave
1. Sit or lie quietly (later you can do it standing) and let every care be banished from your mind.
Shirk off even the most pressing ones, if you can do so safely.
2. Close your eyes at first to do this simple mov-asana more easily.
3. Dont try to feel drowsy, as in the true alpha state. Feel, instead, alive, eager, and supperattractive. Stop thinking, nevertheless, and feel ready to participate in the most
thrilling, senseless, uninhibited behavior. But you will still retain the power to control
yourself, for you are not in the true alpha state.
4. Flood your whole body with this feeling. Feel it rush from your brain into your body and
permeate your every cell, from head to foot. And let your glands (your thyroids in your
lower neck and your sex glands in your loins) saturate your whole system.
5. Your expression will sweeten, as if by magic.
How to expand your outlook into a conquering one with this mov-asana
6. Let this feeling pour out of you from every direction and float out to people and enclose
them like a delightful warm fog.
7. Visualize the warm fog settling into their tissues. Feel the fog spread through them, right
up to their brains. Feel it adapt itself to the vibrations of their own brain waves and to
alter them into the vibrations of yours. Visualize this strongly enough as if it is
happening, and it will happen.
8. Practice ths Yoga secret several times, and you will be able to do it instantaneously with
people.
9. You will be so amazingly irresistible to others that your whole outlook will change. You will
become attractive to those around you, and not feel abandoned by the human race.
29
The tortures of your conscious thinking overwork your mind with excessive apprehension
over insignificant threats to your future, be it in security or romance. Your brain, as a result, is
forced to replenish its energy constantly with new supplies of pure blood loaded with its main
food, oxygen. The excessive apprehension overflows into your subconscious mind and saps your
energy even more when you sleep. Hence, you cannot build up a reservoir of energy, and you
feel tired even after resting. The simple Yoga mov-asana to overcome this energy-destroyer in
you is The Yoga Mystic Cyclone.
1. Stand with heels normally apart (from 10 to 14 inches), depending on your height, toes
pointing normally slightly outwards.
2. Hold your back straight.
3. Bend knees slightly.
4. Inhale and raise arms straight out, palms down.
5. Exhale and swing arms backwards. At the same time,
6. Bend forwards, and bend knees much more.
7. Swing arms way back and up, palms still down.
8. Repeat without pause.
Frequency: 10 repetitions. 2 sets. 5 times a week.
What the Yoga Mystic Cyclone does for you:
1. Proportions your outer upper back
2. Stimulates your whole circulation, triggering your adrenal glands into secreting more dynamic
hormones.
3. Thus, it fills you with energy and better prepares you to meet the outer world because it
toughens you to some of its ecological unpleasantness.
How to cement this necessary state into you all day long:
4. It alters your natural brain wave into one which protects you against the unavoidable
onslaughts of the world you live in. Now,
5. Aware yourself keenly of how you feel when in it. Then practice assuming this feeling at will
several minutes afterwards. If you dont succeed at first, repeat the mon-asana about four
times to get the right feel.
6. Assume this brain-wave state thereafter at work, when shopping, or doing anything
upsetting. Assume it so completely that your brain radiates into you the brain waves
which protect you against the world. Reassume it repeatedly during the day and keep
filling yourself with energy.

Stand backwards against your kitchen sink, or something equally firm and no higher.
Set your palms near the edge of it, with
Fingers pointing outwards, sideways. Wear protective gloves.
Space your hands less than shoulder-width apart.
Bend knees a little, and drop your body by several inches.
Now inhale and arch your back.
Straighten your arms, raising the weight of your body. Try to bring your shoulder blades
together, if you are a man, for upper middle back.
8. Repeat.
Frequency: 6-8 repetitions. 2 or 3 sets. 3-4 times a week.
What your Yoga Palms Down Press does for you:
1. Glamorizes the first section of your trapezius muscles, which hold up your shoulders and
combats round shoulders.
2. Glamorizes your posterior deltoids, which keep your shoulders back and help keep your back
straight by reminding your subconscious mind of its posture.
3. Glamorizes your inner triceps, which firm and shape your inner arms.
4. Is very important in helping healing bursitis of the shoulders, as well as arthritis and
subluxations of the back.
5. Triggers your three cervical plexuses of nerve because it separates enough of the first four
vertebrae in your upper back, immediately below your neck, to stimulate the nerves that
pass through between them. That tones up your head an face, neck, heart, and lungs.

Frequency: 7 repetitions. 2 sets. 3 times a week. Swing and rotate your shoulders around, like
a bird about to take off and fly.
What the Jupiter Lift does for you:
1. Proportions your shoulders and shapes your upper back where you are likely to acquire a
middle-age padding of excess flesh.
2. Throws you into the best mood at the very beginning of the day to combineboring detail
with bubbling enthusiasm. You will draw to you one lucky break after another.
3. Stimulates the vertebrae of your lower back (1-4 lumbar) and your sacrum and coccyx. That
improves your uterus, bladder, legs.
Achieving Confidence and Serenity That Can Add Years to Your Life
Your modern environment strains your nerves and your big skeletal muscles. As a result,
your natural alertness gives way to irritability, leaving you emotional. When you are under the
influence of emotion, powerful chemical substances pour from your organs into your tissues and
can rob you of confidence and serenity, and shorten your life. Psychiatrists have even induced
attacks of the painful state of fear by injecting patients with lactic acid, a chemical substance
which is increased in your bloodstream after exercise.
That is why your reactions to stress are so strongly influenced by your diet. When you
adopt a low-fat, low cholesterol diet, sad to admit, your reduce your bodys ability to handle
stress. With foods high in cholesterol, in contrast, animals (and humans) perform better under
stress than on a low-fat diet. A diet containing fatty foods, like cream, bacon, or grated raw
coconut, add a warm padding of fat throughout your body and tranquilizes you. A low-fat diet,
however, deprives you of this warm padding of fat and puts you physically in the pink, but
leaves your mentally on edge and hyper-reactive under stress. That is why a fat-rich diet,
although it heightens your possibilities of suffering a heart attack earlier, also increases your
capacity to handle stress. It explains why you feel so much calmer after eating pecans or raw
coconut with your meals for several days. But you will have also increased your blood
cholesterol level.

impress. It may be your superior at work, your subordinate, your love one, your
offspring, or some stranger.
Due to the excessive emotional reactions your have acquired towards your modern
environment, you dread not being able to influence that person as you wish. As a result
you do fail to influence him (or her).
Your fear-sympathetics (the fear portion of your sympathetic nervous system) speed up your
heart and turn your breathing fast and shallow. At the same time, glycogen in your liver
is converted to sugar to supply more energy to your now poised-for-action muscles.
These muscles use up this sugar and cast off lactic acid as a waste product. Since
injections of lactic acid induce anxiety in animals, this added lactic acid in your
bloodstream increases your excessive emotions.
Prevent your emotions from increasing by lessening the amount of this added lactic acid
accumulating in your bloodstream. To achieve that:
Take a half breath, and hold it for four seconds.
By then you will be gasping for breath. It will stimulate your fear-sympathetics still more by
frightening you with the prospect of suffocation.
Then exhale quietly and breathe normally again.
Your subconscious mind will respond now as if you have already faced the person or obstacle
in the mirror and overcome him or it. The added lactic acid in you will be thrown off
through your lungs in the form of carbon dioxide. Your fear-sympathetics, as a result,
will lose their abnormal drive to protect you. And so, your irritability will be reduced
markedly.
Frequency: Do this secret Yogi mov-asana 5 times every morning. Do it easily any time during
the day. It also helps stabilize your heart and normalize your blood pressure.

dont disagree with him entirely, too much cereal a day also tends to fatten your waist and
ruin your figure. A couple mouthfuls of cereal a day is all you can afford to take and still
retain your figure without dieting or exercising hard.
A more effective way which my medical and Yogi ancestors found, is to eat two
different roughage-containing raw fruits, like oranges and apples, or oranges and
pineapples, at the same meal. If one such food alone doesnt move your bowels
regularly, two of them, eaten at the same meal, seem to trigger your bowels into action,
and with regularity. Of all the natural roughages, indeed, have found that the skin of the
orange skin is the most effective for bowel movement. Peel off thinly the yellow skin of
the orange and leave on most of the white. Eject the seeds from the center of the orange,
where they are massed. Drop the remainder of the orange in a fruit juicer or food grinder
and let it chop up the white of the orange fine enough not to require too much
mastication. You will be amazed at how effectively it will bring your constipation under
control.
Caution: Eating plain oranges (even if ground up or finely chopped) sensitizes your teeth
and attacks their enamel. Eat oranges with a banana and drink their juice through a straw.
Do Your Appetite Controller, page 53, to crush the fecal matter within your lower intestine.
This Yoga mov-asana will fracture the fecal matter into smaller masses, so that it will
resist much less the rectum-war push of your peristaltic waves (the wave-like contractions
of your alimentary tract which pulsate from your stomach to your rectum). Eat nothing
between meals, or the mov-asana will trigger your peristaltic waves into action before
there is enough waste matter in your lower colon for a ful evacuation.
Eat very little of soft, white flour products. These foods create brick hard bowels. And
drink from six to eight glasses of water a day to help your alimentary tract form fecal
matter moist enough to be easily thrust rectal-ward by your peristaltic waves. (This is
plus your food-time liquids.)
Avoid laxatives. Resort to enemas but once in several months, or longer, if you have to.
Train your bowels to evacuate naturally, without artificial help. Never force them, or you
will encourage them to form hemorrhoids.
At breakfast make it a practice to eat silently, if you expect your bowels to move shortly after
you leave the table. Due to your interest in the conversation your taste glands will lose
their intimate connection with your peristaltic wave and fail to trigger it into action. This
is an important prerequisite to follow for successful, daily, after-breakfast bowel
movement! The same rule applies to any regular bowel movement period you have
trained yourself into.
Gas-producing foods, like figs, or even fig cookies, also stimulate regular bowel movements
in you. Upon arising after a nights sleep, take one and one-half glasses of very warm
water. Follow it, if your bowels are very obstinate, with sets of Your Appetite Controller,
page 53, to force the walls of your stomach to try to compress the water. And since water
is non-compressible, your stomach walls will be stretched instead and will burst into
peristaltic waves in the attempt to compress the water.
Keep regular hours as much as possible to train your peristaltic waves to contract and dilate
all the way down your alimentary canal at approximately the same time every day and

performing miracles or in muscle power. They would become pulps of erectile tissue otherwise,
with strained prostates and sponge-like minds and bodies.
4. However you feel, your brain will create its own natural brain waves to fit your own state of
mind. You dont have to record these brain waves or test them on a biofeedback device
to know what they are. Everybodys brain waves are different for the same emotion. In
some people, alpha brain waves affect them like theta waves. In other people, theta brain
waves affect them like alpha. There is no proven brain wave state measurement for
everybody. The most accurate brain wave for you to adopt is the one you radiate during
the very situation it is produced.
So, relive the situation that troubles you and note exactly how you feel during it.
5. Think, next, of how you would feel if you could draw to you the mate you want at a glance.
6. Practice this several time, until that new brain wave is yours. That is the right optic brain
wave to excite instantly the person you want, because it will exude out of your eyes when
you use it. And your eyes will turn enchanting at a glance.
Recharging Yourself with Potency Through The
Oriental Hip Mov-asana
You can recharge yourself sexually for greater vim and potency with the Oriental Hip
Mov-asana.
1. Lie flat on your back on your bed or floor, with
2. Arms extended along your sides, or on your thighs.
3. Raise your head and try to see the floor between your feet.
4. Repeat three times. Then rest about one-half minute. Now,
5. Raise your head higher and try to see the floor between your knees.
6. Also repeat this three times. Rest another one-half minute. Finally,
7. Raise your head very high and try to see the floor between your thighs.
8. Also repeat this three times. That constitutes one set.
Frequency: 2 sets. 3 or 4 times a week.
What the Oriental Hip mov-asana does for you:
1. Flattens the upper half of your waist, the pork belly part, which bulges easily.
2. Stimulates the vertebrae of your lower back (your 1-4 lumbars), and of the lower half of your
neck (your 3-7 cervicals). Thus, it improves your uterus (if you are a woman), bladder,
liver, diaphragm. If you are a man, it excites the sympathetics to your penis and your
pudendal nerve, drawing more blood to the organ and more easily exciting an erection.
By keeping your legs close together when doing it, too, it increases your crotch heat and
recharges your potency even faster.

Chapter 12. How Yoga Powers Can Help You Take Charge in Emergencies
How Yoga Makes You Taller and Strengthens Your Leadership Abilities
Maintaining your height or getting taller makes you look more impressive. It also brings
you your best health and longest life and makes you a much stronger leader. The Yogis have
known that for thousands of years. The length of your legs does not change once you grow up,
but the length of your spine shrinks continually afterwards. By shrinking, it compresses your
spinal nerves, which pass through it. That reduces the blood supply to your whole body, from
your neck down; weakens the intensity of sensations your brain receives from your muscles and
organs, and of the commands which your brain sends to them. Even if you live long with a
shrunken spine, your reflexes are slower, your thinking is less keen, your energy is reduced, and
your leadership abilities minimized. By keeping your spine stretched as tall as possible as you
advance in years, you dont get short with time, and you retain your leadership abilities much
longer perhaps as much as 50 years longer, as do the Yogis.
With Yoga, though, you can even stretch yourself to a taller height than you were
originally by straightening your spine still more and even by stretching the thickness of the
spinal discs between your vertebrae. All your mental and physiological functions are
correspondingly improved magically, and your leadership abilities strengthened. The Yoga movasana to make you taller is:
The Sacro-Stretch
1. Stand straight against a wall or partition, with your arms relaxed at your sides.
2. Inhale deeply, and
3. Raise your arms straight above your head, until the backs of your hands rest against the wall
or partition.
4. Rise on your toes. At the same time,
5. Stretch your arms and try to touch the ceiling with your fingertips.
6. Stretch your back, too, to the utmost. (Your lower back, especially, will stretch, stimulating
your fourth lumbar vertebra, or the vertebra near the base of your spine. The spinal nerve
passing between it and your fifth lumbar vertebra below it, stimulates your genitals.)
7. Stretch your neck ceiling-ward. The middle portion of your neck, particularly, will stretch and
stimulate the cervical ganglia (nerve cell mass) of the sympathetic nerves in your neck.
These nerves, in turn, will stimulate your pituitary gland. Your pituitary gland (if you are
a woman) produces hormones that trigger your ovary into action. But whether you are a
man or a woman, they encourage your bones to grow, even if at a much more slower pace
after passing maturity.
8. Exhale, lower your arms, and reassume your original position.
Frequency: 10 repetitions every morning. 4-5 times a week.

physique contests and win. (In this, though, you are now also required to compete lifting
weights to win, so you would have to practice with them, too.) If you are too thin or shapeless a
woman, you may wish to fill out your breasts, round out your shoulders, and shape your legs all
in a hurry.
The Yogis have the answer. This is the procedure for you:
1. Find in the Index the part of your body which you want to enlarge fast. Do,
particularly, the mov-asanas listed under arms, back, bulk, chest, neck-shoulder lines, shoulders
and thighs. (For thighs, still use both of them at the same time, but with three sets of repetitions,
done strenuously.)
2. Turn to the page or pages indicated for the best mov-asana or mov-asanas to achieve
that goal/
3. If you are doing mov-asanas five days a week, do those you have selected in Number 2
with the following number of repetitions:
First day: 4 alternating repetitions with each arm for each set. (To be explained later.)
Second day: 10 repetitions with each arm for each set.
Third day: 4 alternating repetitions with each arm for each set.
Fourth day: 10 repetitions with both arms at the same time for each set.
Fifth day: 1 alternating repetition with each arm for each set.
Sixth and seventh day: Rest, or do abdominal mov-asanas alone to keep you waist
getting trimmer.
How to get the best results:
4. The fast get big days are the first, third, and fifth. You do less repetitions then
because you do them with much more power than of the second and fourth days. This is how you
do them on the first, third, and fifth days:
(a) Instead of doing them with both arms at the same time, as described in the book,
(b) Drop all your weight on one arm for each repetition. Your body will twist naturally as
you do so, towards that arm.
5. By dropping all you weight on one arm at a time, all the muscle fibers of that arm are
thrown into contraction at the same time, triggering their maximum growth. Its bones, ligaments,
tendons, and sinews are affected likewise, all contributing to its speedy maximum growth in size
and power.
6. Resist, also, the effort of that one arm more with the rest of your body, as described in
the book for each mov-asana.
7. Since, as stated in 4a, your body twists naturally to drop your whole weight on the arm
being exercised, this twist contracts the sides of your waist to a boil-like tightness. Your
abdominal obliques, as a result, are drawn in deep and reduce the girth of your waist to an
astonishing degree. You thereby acquire massive size (or become much bigger, if you are a
woman) in the chest (or breasts), shoulders, arms, back. But, at the same time your waist shrinks
to a cartoon-like nothingness. . . even if you dont feel the tightness.

Important: Powerful (and bulkier) thigh muscles slow you down when you jog on a level
surface. But they speed you up when you climb stairs or run up a hill. You need more powerful
and bigger thigh muscles then, which wont tire so easily from the added muscular effort. It has
been proved, besides, that running up a hill (or stairs by twos) rewards you with a much stronger
heart than running on a level surface.
More Scientific Support of the Remarkable Truths of My Secrets
A 10-year test by California investigators checked the health of a population of 7,000 in a
typical community against their style of living (1974). They tested eight specific habits. The
results of their tests showed that the healthiest citizens believe in following the exact health
formulas which I myself have believed and practiced regularly since I was 24. I taught the first
six of them since 1954, and the eight since 1960. In brief, I taught all eight of them from 14 to
20 years before science even tested and accepted such as the best health formulas. These are
