Understanding Nature’s Plan.

• The Yogis ideal is a body strong in all its parts, under the control of a masterful and developed Will, animated by high ideals.

In the practice of the Complete Breath, inhalation exerts a gentle pressure upon the liver, stomach and other organs, which in connection with the rhythm of the lungs acts as a gentle massage of these organs and stimulates their actions and encourages normal functioning.
Each inhalation aids in this internal exercise and assists in causing a normal circulation to the organs of nutrition and elimination.

As mentioned, the internal organs also need exercise and Nature’s plan for this exercise is proper breathing. The diaphragm is Nature’s principle instrument for this internal exercise.
Its motion vibrates the important organs of nutrition and elimination and massages and kneads them at each inhalation and exhalation, forcing blood into them and then squeezing it out.

Any organ or part of the body which is not exercised, gradually atrophies and refuses to function properly, and lack of the internal exercise afforded by the diaphragmatic action leads to diseased organs.

“The stone which the builders reject is the real cornerstone of the Temple of Health.”
