CHAPTER XIV. PHENOMENA OF YOGI PSYCHIC BREATHING. With the exception of the instructions in the Yogi Rhythmic Breathing, the majority of the exercises heretofore given in this book relate to the physical plane of effort, which, while highly important in itself, is also regarded by the Yogis as in the nature of affording a substantial basis for efforts on the psychic and spiritual plane.
Do not, however, discard or think lightly of the physical phase of the subject, for remember that it needs a sound body to support a sound mind, and also that the body is the temple of the Ego, the lamp in which burns the light of the Spirit.
Everything is good in its place, and everything has its place.
The developed man is the "all-around man," who recognizes body, mind and spirit and renders to each its due.
Neglect of either is a mistake which must be rectified sooner or later; a debt which must be repaid with interest. We will now take up the Psychic phase of the Yogi Science of Breath in the shape of a series of exercises, each exercise carrying with it its explanation. You will notice that in each exercise rhythmic breathing is accompanied with the instructions to "carry the thought" of certain desired results.
