1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: Vibration and yogi rhythmic breathing. All is in vibration, From

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,839
the tiniest atom to the greatest sun. Everything is in

3
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:13,679
a state of vibration. There is nothing in absolute rest

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,960
in nature. A single atom deprived of vibration would wreck

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,920
the universe. In incessant vibration, the universal work is performed.

6
00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:27,199
Matter is being constantly played upon by energy, and countless

7
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:31,640
forms of numberless varieties result. And yet even the forms

8
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,320
and varieties are not permanent. They begin to change the

9
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:39,320
moment they are created, and from them are born innumerable forms,

10
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:43,640
which in turn change and give rise to newer forms,

11
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:48,359
and so on and on in infinite succession. Nothing is

12
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:51,399
permanent in the world of forms, and yet the great

13
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:57,119
reality is unchangeable. Forms are but appearances. They come, they go,

14
00:00:57,799 --> 00:01:02,679
but the reality is eternal and unchangeable. The atoms of

15
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:07,439
the human body are in constant vibration. Unceasing changes are occurring.

16
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,760
In a few months, there is almost a complete change

17
00:01:10,879 --> 00:01:14,200
in the matter composing the body, and scarcely a single

18
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,920
atom now composing your body will be found in it

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,239
a few months. Hence, vibration, constant vibration, change, constant change

20
00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:28,159
in all vibration is to be found a certain rhythm.

21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,480
Rhythm pervades the universe. The swing of the planets around

22
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,959
the sun, the rise and fall of the sea, the

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,319
beating of the heart, the ebb and flow of the tide,

24
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,079
all follow rhythmics laws. The rays of the sun reaches

25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,840
the rain descends upon us in obedience to the same law.

26
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,439
All growth is but an exhibition of this law. All

27
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:56,159
motion is a manifestation of the law of rhythm. Our

28
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:59,280
bodies are as much subject to rhythmic laws as is

29
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:03,000
the planet in its revolution around the sun. Much of

30
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,000
the esoteric side of the Yogi science of breath is

31
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,800
based upon this known principle of nature. By falling in

32
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,919
with the rhythm of the body, the Yogi manages to

33
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,479
absorb a great amount of prana, which he disposes of

34
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,759
to bring about results desired by him. We will speak

35
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,280
of this at greater length later on. The body which

36
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,759
you occupies like a small inlet running into the land

37
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,159
from the sea. Although apparently subject only to its own laws,

38
00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:34,479
it is really subject to the ebb and flow of

39
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,800
the tides of the ocean. The great sea of life

40
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,919
is swelling and receding, rising and falling, and we are

41
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,360
responding to its vibrations and rhythm. In a normal condition,

42
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:49,159
we receive the vibration and rhythm of the great ocean

43
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:52,800
of life and respond to it. But at times the

44
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,680
mouth of the inlet seems choked up with debris, and

45
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:58,560
we fail to receive the impulse from mother ocean. And

46
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:02,719
in harmony manifests withinnos. You have heard how a note

47
00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:06,879
on a violin, if sounded repeatedly and in rhythm, will

48
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,400
start into motion vibrations which will in time destroy a bridge.

49
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:13,879
The same result is true when a regiment of soldiers

50
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,879
crosses a bridge, the order being always given to break

51
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,360
step on such an occasion, lest the vibration bring down

52
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,400
both bridge and regiment. These manifestations of the effect rhythmic

53
00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:28,719
motion will give you an idea of the effect on

54
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:32,759
the body of rhythmic breathing. The whole system catches the

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,639
vibration and becomes in harmony with the will, which causes

56
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,759
the rhythmic motion of the lungs. And while such complete

57
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,560
harmony will respond readily to orders from the will. With

58
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:48,680
the body thus attuned, the yogi finds no difficulty in

59
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,479
increasing the circulation in any part of the body by

60
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,159
an order from the will, and in the same way

61
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,120
he can direct an increased current of nerve force to

62
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:02,400
any part or organ, strengthening and stimulating it. In the

63
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:05,960
same way, the Yogi, by rhythmic breathing, catches the swing,

64
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,919
as it were, and is able to absorb and control

65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
a greatly increased amount of promum, which is then a

66
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,439
disposal of his will. He can and does use it

67
00:04:15,479 --> 00:04:17,959
as a vehicle for sending fore thoughts to others, and

68
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,800
for attracting to him all those whose thoughts are keyed

69
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:26,759
in the same vibration. The phenomena of telepathy, thought transference,

70
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,959
mental healing, mesmerism, et cetera, which subjects are creating such

71
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,199
an interest in the Western world at the present time,

72
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,959
but which have been known to the Yogis for centuries,

73
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:40,720
can be greatly increased in augmented if the person sending

74
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:45,120
forth the thoughts will do so after rhythmic breathing. Rhythmic

75
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,519
breathing will increase the value of mental healing, magnetic healing,

76
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,759
et cetera several hundred percent in rhythmic breathing. The main

77
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,480
thing to be acquired is the mental idea of rhythm

78
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,319
to those who know anything of music, The idea of

79
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,800
measured count is familiar to others. The rhythmic step of

80
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:09,519
the soldier left right, left right left right one two

81
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,639
three four one two three four will convey the idea.

82
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,439
The yogi bases his rhythmic time upon a unit corresponding

83
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,199
with the beat of his heart. The heart beat varies

84
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240
in different persons, but the heart beat unit of each

85
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,879
person is the proper rhythmic standard of that particular individual

86
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:32,240
in his rhythmic breathing. Ascertain your normal heartbeat by placing

87
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,040
your fingers over your pulse and then count one two, three, four,

88
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:46,199
five six one two three, four, five, six, et cetera,

89
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,560
until the rhythm becomes firmly fixed in your mind. A

90
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,319
little practice will fix the rhythm so that you will

91
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:58,240
be able to easily reproduce it. The beginner usually inhales

92
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:01,480
in about six pulse units, but he will be able

93
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,279
to greatly increase this by practice. The Juggie rule for

94
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,120
rhythmic breathing is that the units of inhalation and exhalation

95
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,399
should be the same, while the units for retention in

96
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:14,800
between brush should be one half the number of those

97
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,560
of inhalation and exhalation. The following exercise and rhythmic breathing

98
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,399
should be thoroughly mastered, as it forms the basis of

99
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:27,279
numerous other exercises to which reference will be made later.

100
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,800
One sit erect in an easy posture, being sure to

101
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,160
hold the chest, neck and head as nearly in a

102
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:41,399
straight line as possible, with shoulders slightly thrown back and

103
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:45,279
hands resting easily on the lap. In this position, the

104
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,800
weight of the body is largely supported by the ribs,

105
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,319
and the position may be easily maintained. The jogie is

106
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:54,879
found that one cannot get the best effect a rhythmic

107
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,800
breathing with the chest drawn in and the abomant protruding.

108
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:07,040
Two Inhale slowly a complete breath, counting six pulse units. Three,

109
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:13,879
retain counting three pulse units. Four. Exhale slowly through the nostrils,

110
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:22,199
counting six pulse units. Five. Count three pulse beats between brusts. Six.

111
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:26,240
Repeat a number of times, but avoid fatiguing yourself at

112
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:31,439
the start. Seven. When you are ready to close the exercise,

113
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,639
practice the cleansing breath, which will rest you and cleanse

114
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,759
the lungs. After a little practice, you will be able

115
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,839
to increase the duration of the inhalations and exhalations until

116
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:48,920
about fifteen pulse units are consumed. In this increase, Remember

117
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,759
that the units for retention and between brusts is one

118
00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:56,800
half the units for inhalation and exhalation. Do not overdo

119
00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:59,839
yourself in your effort to increase the duration of the breath,

120
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:04,480
but pay as much attention as possible to acquiring the rhythm,

121
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:07,079
as that is more important than the length of the breath.

122
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:11,680
Practice and try until you get the measured swing of

123
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:15,160
the movement, and until you can almost fuel the rhythm

124
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,160
of the vibratory motion throughout your whole body. It will

125
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:22,879
require a little practice and perseverance, but your pleasure at

126
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:26,279
your improvement will make the task an easy one. The

127
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,839
Yogi is a most patient and persevering man, and his

128
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:33,480
great attainments are due largely to the possession of these qualities.
