Keep the mind fixed on the idea of energy, and away from ordinary sexual thoughts and imaginings.  If these thoughts come into the mind do not be discouraged, but regard them as manifestations of a force which you intend using for the purpose of strengthening the body and mind.  Lie passively or sit erect, and fix your mind on the idea of drawing the re-productive energy upward to the Solar Plexus, where it will be transmuted and stored away as a reserve force of vital energy.  Then breathe rhythmically, forming the mental image of drawing up the re-productive energy with each inhalation.  With each inhalation make a command of the Will that the energy be drawn upward from the re-productive organisation to the Solar Plexus.  If the rhythm is fairly established and the mental image is clear, you will be conscious of the upward passage of the energy, and will feel its stimulating effect.  If you desire an increase in mental force, you may draw it up to the brain instead of to the Solar Plexus, by giving the mental command and holding the mental image of the transmission to the brain.

The man or woman doing mental creative work, or bodily creative work will be able to use this creative energy in their work by following the above exercise, drawing up the energy with the inhalation and sending it forth with the exhalation.  In this last form of exercise only such portions as are needed in the work will pass into the work being done, the balance remaining stored up in the Solar Plexus.

You will understand, of course, that it is not the reproductive fluids which are drawn up and used, but the etheric prana energy which animates the latter, the soul of the reproductive organism, as it were.  It is usual to allow the head to bend forward easily and naturally during the transmuting exercise.

Practise this Breathing Exercise sturdily.  Be heroic.  Learn to make 100 Pranayams at a sitting, but do not rush things.  Deep breathing exercise, Will-Culture, regular Meditation and a clean normal mode of living when combined with much thinking will surely awaken your Latent Powers.  Be not worried if progress be a bit slow at first.  Keep up cheerful and work patiently.  Things cannot but come your way if you don’t give up but preserve to the last.  Have infinite and unbounded faith in yourself.  And, lastly, if you want to grow space in Wisdom and Power, persevere in deep breathing.  Pranayam is the key to all spiritual success.  “Spirituality is fullness of Breath.”  Almost all forms or Mental and physical weakness are due to imperfect and shallow breathing.  Of all these instructions you practise nothing but the Breathing Exercise, your gain shall be great but in order to get all the results you must practise all the instructions regularly and methodically.

Your sex-force is under the direction of your sub-conscious mind which is quite amenable to your authoritative suggestions.  Get control through your sub-consciousness.  All you have to do is to let it to do its own work without adverse and negative suggestions and fear-thoughts.  Say “No” vigorously to all adverse thoughts and shake them off from you.  All health comes by letting nature alone.
