ABSTRACT

The practice of yoga is meant to overcome and to avoid the natural difficulties and failings of the bodies in their four different aspects. Three fourths of the physical body is made up of water, and only the remaining one fourth of bones and other matter. The major portion being of water, which is substantial in itself, it is incumbent upon every human being to see that the body gets the necessary amount of water within the system by way of drinking. The care of the etheric body lies in complete relaxation. The etheric body is a composite of vital force or energy Energy and vital force is spent in every item of work done every day. Vital energy that is spent must necessarily is replaced in the system of the body for rebuilding purposes, and this purpose is best served by relaxation.
