STUDY IN DIAGNOSIS

Once certain about the base and inclinations we are in a position to know where to locate the cause of troubles, as well as to discover the means effecting relief from any phenomenal phase of sickness. In addition we also determine the corresponding factors of the organic functions to the mind.

In the event of such a diagnosis we are able more intelligently to choose and determine methods of living calculated to assure a higher mental development.

Upon the condition of the mind not only the welfare of the body depends but also our daily walks are greatly gauged and governed thereby.

To the extent that there is a lack of harmony between body and mind it would prove deficiency either on the part of the one or the other, if not both.

A physical disturbance is due to lack of relation to that part of the brain which determines it. The least of an estrangement of mind to body creates a gap which to fill has to be met by either the one or the other member, if not both.

Once we understand that the chest cavity, with all the organs confined therein, corresponds with and comes under the direct supervision of the intellectual group we can direct our intellectual thought waves toward the organs within the chest, using the breath currents for the charging of the same. With redoubled force in exhalation and arrestment, followed by inhalation and retentment, we at least arrest the progress of aches and pains. Hot or cold water applications to the chest, neck or back will meet the physical demands and a little ingenuity being used, adding manipulations, establishes harmony.

In case of disturbances affecting members directly related to the generative cavity, the spiritual thought waves have to come into play, so that by increased mentality a more harmonic relation be effected.

This has to be accomplished through more vigorous exercises inducing inhalations that seemingly know of no limitation. Again hot

or cold water applications to the members of the organic system directly affected will bring relief, and manipulations effect a cure. All breathing exercises are largely confined to the diaphragm.

In case of disturbances to organs confined to the abdominal cavity the physical brain propensities are the factors to be considered. All of the thought waves must be carried to the affected members by means of muscular or abdominal breathing, be it inhalation or exhalation. Hot or cold water applications may effect relief, still the mental waves, carried upon the breath, are bound to bring about a cure.

Correspondences and relation are the two phases to be observed whenever dealing with the organic functions of the body for the purpose of creating harmony, a state of harmony absolutely necessary if body and mind are to be inseparable, since it is known that the slightest of division or separation cause estrangement and with it dis-ease.

Breathing is by no means to be underestimated in all cases of ailments, since upon breath the very life of the being depends. We need to know more about breath and breathing by exercising it in its various forms, applying the mental factors as to their relations. Thus breath may be conducted by the intellectual, or it may be directed by the spiritual side and again the
