And the Lord God ... breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.

FOREWORD

The staff of life is not bread—it is breath. For you can live days without drink, and weeks without food. But you can only live a few minutes without air.

You would think, inasmuch as the human race has been breathing for at least five hundred thousand years, that men and women today would know how to breathe.

As a matter of fact, however, consciously controlled breathing is known to but very few people. These few fortunate individuals have been rewarded by Nature in the way Nature always rewards those who follow her laws.

She blesses them with magnificent constitutions, tireless energy and the strength and beauty that comes from radiant health; skin that shows the rich blood flowing under its clear surfaces, sparkling eyes, and the vivacious manner that attracts and holds the attention of men and women alike.

This, Nature does for those who use rightly her great gift.
