Now enfolding you in My Love, the Essence of Pure Pink Light, I say, “Oh Father-Mother God, Creator
of ALL there is, clothe each of these chelas in the Flame of They Illumination, so that each shall quickly Ascend
the Path on the Ladder of Light into Thy Heart, “I AM" AEolus, Messenger of The Father-Mother God.”
********
LESSON ONE
When we come to the realization that to breathe means to live and by breathing properly, we correct
any condition within our physical body, the wise chela will apply the instruction herein given. This physical
body is the Temple of the Living God, and by learning to breathe evenly and to direct the breath, we can raise
the vibratory action of the body. In so doing we enliven each cell, clearing away the effluvia which we have
allowed to form. The majority of mankind has become so heavy with this self-created effluvia that they feel
sluggish and tired most of the time. The Beloved Maha Chohan is desirous that His student body become
aware of the importance of correct breathing, therefore, we have included in this little booklet important
exercises which we know will assist in the improvement of the physical, etheric, mental and emotional
bodies of each one who will take the time to practice them. Do not become discouraged if at first you cannot
master these breaths. Keep at it - for practice makes perfect and the result of persevering will please the
student when he realizes that he feels lighter in his physical body; free and unhindered in his thinking. He will
experience a more joyous outlook, and emotionally he will be calmer, more serene in dealing with the
situations that arise daily in the lives of all. It is a good idea to set aside a special time for these exercises.
They should be done at least twice a day.
The important thing to do before starting any breathing exercise is to empty the lungs of breath, from
the mouth into an 'oo' sound and breathe out heavily.
Stand erect, feet together, arms relaxed resting at sides. As you begin the breath, tense the arms and
slowly inhale to the count of five raising the arms slowly over the head. As you inhale push the diaphragm
out. Hold the breath for five counts and visualize a great white light pouring down from your God Presence.
Then slowly exhale to the count of five as your lower the arms again to the sides. Rest for the count of five.
Repeat the breath seven times. Relax, and then say the following decree with feeling:
“I thank you Father for my Life, for my physical body, the most wonderful instrument in the Universe. I now
command that every cell, atom, gland, muscle, organ and function in my body accept the BLAZING LIGHT
from My God Presence that heals, that raises and makes whole this Temple of the Living God, and I thank
you for my pure, well balanced body.”

LESSON TWO
Nearly everyone is desirous of feeling young. To be able to move in a beautiful rhythmic manner; to
walk gracefully; to glow from inner joy and happiness can be attained by practicing the Breaths that we bring
forth to you. It is the Beloved Maha Chohan's desire that we be shining examples. How else can we possibly
assist others if we ourselves are not 'the Light that shineth in the darkness'?
In this exercise we are making a decree for Youth. Visualize yourself doing something you have not
done in years - running up a hill - dashing into the ocean, leaping with gay abandon. Feel the free buoyancy
of youth.
Stand with arms at sides. Take a slow deep breath to the count of four. Raise arms forward slowly
over the head and back as far as you can, moving your head back also so that your face is looking
heavenward. Still holding this breath, bend forward from the waist, touch the ground, come up reaching way
back over the head. Exhale slowly; bring arms down to starting position. Do this Breath three times. Then
decree with deep feeling:

"I AM" filled with the Light that revitalizes every part of my body. "I AM” filled with that glowing, glorious
vibrant feeling of youth. "I AM" alive with the motivating power of action. "I AM' young, young, young, "I
AM”ETERNAL YOUTH.

LESSON THREE
We owe much to our Physical Sun and Those Great Beings Helios and Vesta Who reside therein. The Sun
pours forth to all Light and Life-giving Substance. We, of course, are aware of the Sun, but we must also
know that we can, by our attention, draw into our being, through love and gratitude, the beneficial Radiation
which is Their pleasure to bestow upon all who live, move and have their being on this Earth Planet.
In the following breath, we ask that you face the Sun if possible - if not, visualize the Sun in your mind's eye.
As you take the Inbreath, raise your arms out from your sides and up until you form a Cross, palms facing
upward. This position symbolizes complete surrender to our Heavenly Father-Mother God.
Standing straight, feet together, visualize The Golden Rays of the Sun pouring toward you and into you as
you take a deep, slow breath to the count of four, raising the arms to form the Cross.
Breathe these Rays into your heart; that is direct the breath into the heart area. Hold the breath to the count
of four. Exhale to the count of four, lowering the arms and as you exhale feel the breath as Golden Light
going out through every pore of your body. Rest to the count of four and repeat the breath seven times.
Then decree:
I AM" Light, "I AM" Light, "I AM" Light, I AM drawing into my being the Blessing and Love from Helios and
Vesta. "I AM" absorbing this Light into every cell of my body. "I AM" radiant with the Light. "I AM" filled
with the Light. "I AM" grateful, grateful, grateful to the Light and I love the Light.
