Then picture the prana as leaving your mind with each exhalation of rhythmic breath, and traveling across space instantaneously and reaching the patient and healing him.
The thought of the healer sends forth and colors the prana of the sender, and it flashes across space and finds lodgment in the psychic mechanism of the patient.
When it is remembered that the greater portion of prana acquired by man comes to him from the air inhaled, the importance of proper breathing is readily understood.

Alcyone is the centre of a stellar globe of prana revolving in manasa around the central and hidden sun of the great manasic globe.
All the changes and combinations possible in kinetic pranaon the pranic globe are possible here, in our kinetic prana, as all the phenomena of the etheric world are possible here in our kinetic ether.
This solar-etheric globe in which we are interested revolves around Alcyone within that kinetic belt or skin of prana which is subject to phenomena or vibration through one octave--else it would never have been formed.
The solar globe is a detail of kinetic prana only, one of its phenomena.
In the living leaf the prakriti, ether, and prana are sounding the threefold silver chord of life.
