Learn the magic of the body (I)

Material or carnal body

The development of the body, the outer shell must go hand in hand with the development of mind and soul. No part of our "I" should not lag behind in development, and no part of it can not be neglected. In the morning, after sleep, you need to massage the body with a soft brush so much time until the skin turns pink. Thus opens the pores and you will breathe easier. In addition to a large extent freed kidney. After that, you need to quickly wash the whole body, or at least to the waist in cold water and rub the body well with a rough towel, until it warms. Susceptible to cold people can use to defend the washing water or water at room temperature. This procedure should be a daily habit, you want to save the rest of their lives. It works refreshing and removes tiredness.

You also need to engage at least a few minutes of morning exercise, the body was flexible. I will not give special gymnastic exercises, as everyone can make their own according to their age and health status. The main thing here is that the body has become elastic.

 
The mystery of breathing

Much attention should be paid as breathing. Breathing any living creature. Life without breathing impossible. Moreover, the magician must know, of course, that he breathes oxygen with nitrogen, which absorb light and exhales nitrogen. Without the power of breath and lungs can not function. All we need for life and that sustains life, that is, four-pole breath and the food consists of four elements plus the fifth element, the vital element or akasa principle, as described in the theoretical part of the cell. But the air we breathe, has a low-density than grubomaterialnaya food. Both, according to universal laws, are the four-pole, and serve to support life in the body. Therefore, we now turn to the breath.

Oxygen is subject to the elements of fire, and nitrogen - the element of water. The element of air is an element of the mediation, and the earth element is the element which holds together the oxygen and nitrogen. The fifth element, Akasha or ether - is the logical, causal, or the divine, the principle. Just as in the great universe, the nature of the elements exist to electric and magnetic fluids, that is polarity. If you unconscious and breathing normally delivered to the body as much oxygen as is necessary for life. There is also the flow of oxygen is dependent on the flow of tissue elements. It is different with conscious breathing. If the air you breathe put a thought, idea or representation, whether it is a business idea, or abstract, it incorporates the principle of akasa appropriate air and carries it through the electric and magnetic fluids are air matter. This matter is impregnated with air, light transmitted by blood vessels, in this case plays a dual role.

First, the material of the elements are used to maintain the body, and secondly, the electromagnetic fluid charged a certain idea or representation, conducts air solenoid with this idea through the astral matrix of the astral body, and otttuda reflexively through the mental matrix of the immortal spirit.

So we opened the secret of breathing from the magic point of view. Many denominations, such as Hatha Yoga, instructional use of conscious breathing, do not know the true process. Many people have damaged their health breathing exercises extreme nature contained in this system, it happened in those cases where people have practiced these exercises without the guidance of an experienced teacher (guru).

In most cases, the inexperienced reader sought to acquire these skills, because before him the prospect of quick mastery of occult forces. This magnetic field can achieve much faster and easier if you wish, with details described in this work, a universal system of initiation.

As you can see, everything depends not on kolichesktva inhaled air, and on the quality, that is the idea that investing in an air matter. There is no need, just not recommended to gain a lot of air and light to strain unnecessarily. So follow your breathing exercises without any haste, that is slowly and quietly.

It is convenient to sit down, relax your entire body and breathe through your nose. Imagine that, along with inhaled air through the lungs and blood in your body are health, success, peace, peace, luck, that is all you want to achieve the fastest. Submission of your ideas should be so intense that the air you breathe should be so impregnated by your desire, it becomes a reality. In this case you should not be the slightest doubt in the performance of this desire.

In order not to lose consciousness, you should start with seven breaths in the morning and seven - in the evening. If possible, start to gradually increase the time of breathing exercises - one each day, morning and evening. In no case, no hurry, and exceed the measure, because all the time. At the very least, you need to go to realize the following representation only when first elected desire fulfilled without a trace. Do gifted student success will manifest itself within seven days, all depends on the degree of talent and energy performance. But some students to realize their desires take weeks and sometimes months. Even the kind of desires plays an important role. Therefore, we recommend initially did not have any selfish desires, and to stay with the above, such as peace, health, peace, success. Breathing exercises should not take more than an hour.Later, you just need to be ten minutes.
