When one fasts his respirations quicken naturally, because the muscles becoming weak demand more subjective force, and anything that calls for more energy in the blood will quicken the breath and, through this, the flow of the blood.
Through increased circulation there comes elimination, and through elimination there comes release of all congested parts; then from this, arises new nutrition, power and health.
With the new elixir of oxygenated air flowing into the blood as it passes through the ductless glands, and the minute occult centers of the brain and spinal cord, all the very fine activity of the body is reestablished. The kinetic fluid of the body is released and new vital life force immerses every cell of every tissue.
Cosmic Breath is inexhaustible–it is always waiting to pour into our blood stream. The ignorant multitude simply passes by all these gifts. We forget that our nostrils are open for the Breath of Life. To breathe is to give the body a chance for more life,–life that is full of exhilaration and strength.
