Taking breath, the active stay of the breath, the gradual release and then the complete surrender of the direct respiratory muscles: that is, accentuate the four steps or elements as in most exercises and avoid the temptation to jerk and to exaggerate minor parts or actions. Constrictions, inharmonious and unrhythmic jerks are always out of place in any exercise.
The exercises, before going to sleep, should be less rigorous unless there are constrictions and these should be removed by simultaneous and sympathetic co-ordination of all parts of the body rather than by vigorous movements. After any local movement the stretch should be renewed and the affirmation made of some thoughtful and beautiful idea as love, joy, peace.
The body will respond to rhythm. Let the exercise be taken vigorously and definitely. Let also the reactions or rests be equally definite and decided. Vigor should never lead to constrictions or to great labor. If we lie on our back and stretch one side and then the other it is easier and we accomplish better results as a rule than we do by stretching both arms and feet simultaneously.
It is an unusually important exercise in case of any constrictions. It strengthens also certain muscles of the torso which are apt to be neglected. This making a bridge of the body, supporting it by the upper arms which should be vertical, and the feet which should also be vertical, has a great effect upon all the internal organs of the torso.
Eyes were to look no more into the answering eloquence of other eyes. "I must go," said Ralph, looking down into his betrothed's face. "Stay only a little," said Winsome. "It is the last time." So he stayed. Strange, nervous constrictions played at "cat's cradle" about their hearts.
Different from these soft richnesses as silk is from velvet, the clear flame of the wood fire danced again in the glass doors of one of the bookcases: and at the other, choosing a book in which to read herself to sleep, stood Ellen, her head a burning bush of beauty, her body exquisitely at odds with the constrictions of the product of the Liberton dressmaker.
This eliminates constrictions and brings more rhythm or balanced activity in opposition to other muscles or in union with them. The co-ordination must be felt. When there are co-ordinations there will be a sense of satisfaction in the vital organs. The exercises will not weary. They will not be a strain or tax the strength. They accumulate vitality rather than waste it.
After a time a delicate patch of cellular membrane appeared upon one face of this yolk, and that patch was the foundation of the whole creature, the clay out of which it would be moulded. Gradually investing the yolk, it became subdivided by transverse constrictions into segments, the forerunners of the rings of the body.
Sometimes these take place so rapidly as to seem to be simultaneous, but close examination will reveal a sequence, though rapid. As in life we have to live a truth to know or understand it, so an act of expression embodies the emotion. True enjoyment is also always expansive. Anger and negative emotions cause constrictions, while joy and love increase expansion.
At this time the constrictions have deepened, so that the margins of all the successive divisions of the little Hydroid are very prominent, and the whole animal looks like a pile of saucers, or of disks with scalloped edges and the convex side turned downward.
