An ancient secret 

CONTENTS OF THE YEAR OF TRAINING "FRESH SOURCE" (FORM IV.V)

The fourth consciousness 

Mr. Bradford said: "The first time I practiced this fourth consciousness, I felt very difficult. But then a week later, it became as simple as the others. 

"First, sit down on the floor, legs stretched forward, feet apart about 20 cm apart, palms facing down on the floor, along the buttocks. Then grasp forward towards the chest. Next, bend your head back as far as possible and lift yourself up so that your knees are bent while your arms are upright.In this position, your body becomes parallel to the floor. home, and perpendicular to your arms and legs and then stretch all your muscles and finally come back to your original sitting position, relax your muscles and rest for a while first when repeating the movements of the final practice. 

"Likewise, breathing is important in this consciousness. Take a deep breath when lifting yourself up and exhale as you lower. Continue to maintain this breath when you rest between two exercises. Then Mr. Bradford continued: 

"After leaving the monastery, I traveled to some of India 's major cities and for testing, I opened several classes to teach these 5 exercises to the British as well as the natives. I realized that the elders in both groups thought that they could not practice the fourth consciousness because they had done so much, which was a wrong thought and made it difficult for me to convince them. In the end, I told them to do everything they could within a month to see how things were going, and this advice was much more than expected. 

"I remember once I conducted a class with a small number of seniors and when it came to this fourth, those people could barely lift themselves off the floor and of course could not reach their postures. parallel to the floor Also in this class, there were some young people who did this movement easily, right in the first session.This made old people feel depressed so I had to splitting into two groups, I explained to the elderly that for the first time when practicing this fourth, I was nothing more than them, but now I can practice this continuous 50 times without seeing it fatigue or muscle tension, and to prove it, I practiced right in front of them. Elderly people have made remarkable progress. 

"You have to remember that the difference between youthful and wholesome, between healthy and sick, simply depends on the rotation speed of the chakras. Bringing the rotation speed of the chakra back to its normal norm. , then one can again become young and healthy ". 

The fifth consciousness 

Mr. Bradford continued: 

"When practicing the fifth exercise, your body must face the ground, supported by your hands, hold your palms on the floor and your toes should be bent. With this practice, you must Keep your feet about 60 cm apart while your arms and legs are straight. 

"To begin, put your hands upright on the floor and bend your spine so that your body is in a recess position. Next, bend your head back as far as possible then bend at the hips and bring yourself up. up to form an inverted V (that is, lift your butt up to the sky) At the same time, bring your chin forward and press it close to your chest, that's all.Only done, you're back to your original posture and Repeat this whole exercise. 

"After the first week, you will usually find this to be one of the easiest practices. Once you have mastered it, let yourself fall to a point that is almost touching the floor, but not complete. Touch your muscles for a while, even when your body is at a high point and when lowering. 

"Continue taking deep breaths as you have done in the past. Take a deep breath when you lift yourself up and exhale as you lower yourself." 

Then Mr. Bradford explained: "Wherever I communicate these exercises, it is often thought that they first help to relax the muscles and stiff joints, and at the same time help the muscles. However, the main goal of these exercises is to bring the chakras' rotation speed back to the normal standard that is consistent with the rotation speed of the chakras of a healthy person in 25 years old. 

"In humans all chakras have the same rotation speed. On the other hand, if you can see the 7 chakras of a middle-aged man or woman, you will immediately understand that the speed The rotation of some of the chakras in their bodies has been greatly slowed down, all of them rotating at different speeds and no chakra can work together in a smooth and harmonious manner with the chakras. Slow-rotating chakras will cause the part of the body where they are concentrated to decline, while fast-rotating chakras create anxiety, restlessness, stress, and fatigue. chakras bring about weakness, sickness, and sickness. 

Hearing Mr. Bradford describe these 5 exercises, my mind kept on asking. So now that he has finished, I do not hesitate to ask a few questions. And my first question is: 

For each such consciousness, how many times must we practice? "To begin with, in the first week, I recommend practicing one session a day, three times per exercise," said Bradford. "Then for the next two weeks, increase the number of sessions by two. until you can do it 21 times per day, in other words, in the second week, practice 5 times for each wake; the third week, 7 times; the fourth week, 9 times and so on. So within a period of 10 weeks you should be able to do it 21 times a day for all 5 wakeups. 

"If you have difficulty practicing the first one - spinning - the same number of times with the other, you can divide it into several times to practice, so that there are 21 times without dizziness. And I believe you can finally spin 21 times as planned. 

"I know of a person who has done these things for more than a year before he can turn around many times as stipulated in the first consciousness. He can easily practice other things, but with consciousness. this rotation progressed very slowly and it took a long time to make 21 rotations at a time, and then he achieved satisfactory results. 

"However, there are also people who don't find it difficult to spin. Usually, they are the ones who have skipped one first to practice the other four for three to six months and then realize that we can start with the first consciousness ". After listening to the explanation, I continued to ask, "Then at what time of the day should we practice these foods?" 

Mr. Bradford replied, "You can practice in the morning or in the evening, depending on your convenient time. I myself practice in both morning and evening; but because you are a novice, you step onto the road. practice so I don't want to urge you. After practicing these for 4 months, you can start taking time to practice many times in the morning, and in the evening you only practice 3 times for each Increase the number of workouts sequentially as you did before, until you have done them 21. You don't need to practice them more than 21 times in the morning and evening, unless you really motivated by practice. 

Now my next question is: "Are all of these exercises equally important?" Mr. Bradford nodded: "Yes, these 5 exercises work together to work on your body and they all have the same importance. After a period of practice, if you find it impossible to practice the exercises at the same time. If this is the number of times, split them into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening.If you find it difficult to practice one of these five, then skip it. one side to focus on the practice of the other 4. Then a few months later, rehearse the one that you have found difficult and ignore before. In this way, the result will come more slowly but anyway. it also came. 

"When you practice these things you should never try to do it. That will not bring you any benefits. Simply, you should only do everything you can already. Go ahead and never be discouraged, with time and perseverance, finally, just like everyone else, you can do all five of these 21 times a day. 

"To overcome the difficulty of one of these five, some people have invented some of their own ways. Back in India, I learned something that I couldn't practice on the fourth consciousness," he said. he could only lift his body a little off the floor, but he was determined by all means to put it up in a horizontal position as I described. up, then put his back on it, put his feet on one side, put his hands on the other side. 

"Now, while that initiative does not help him carry out 21 times that exercise, it helps him to lift himself up to a level similar to healthy people. It is also helpful to create a positive image and I don't recommend imitating him, but that approach can help anyone who is completely frustrated. If you are creative, then you should think of some way to help you practice whatever practice you find difficult. 

Here I asked: "So what if we give up one of the five consciousness?" Mr. Bradford replied: "Fortunately most people, when they have started practicing these things, not only find them easy but also enjoy and are helpful to practice every day, especially when they see the benefits. "In short, it only takes you about 20 minutes to practice these five formulas. And if you are physically fit, you can practice them within 10 minutes or less. If you have to be busy throughout the day, don't have time to practice, get up a few minutes early in the morning, or go to bed a little late in the evening to spend some time to practice. 

[The words of the practitioner: If you are determined to take the busy reason for not practicing these things at all, you have chosen for yourself a path of illness, all kinds of illnesses, living is also impossible. I don't want to die. By then, it was too late to blame Heaven and Earth. ] 

"The purpose of these five exercises is to restore the youth and health of your body. There are also other factors that determine your positive change, two of which are: mood and desires. "As you know, there are people who look like they are in their 40s while there are those who look young when they are in their sixties. It is the human mood that makes that difference. Regardless of your age, if you can assume you're still young, people will find you as young as you think. 

"When I started practicing these things, I tried to erase the mind of my own weak image and instead, I determined in my mind the image of my youth. after that image, I put all my energy into my desire. And the result is as you can see. "For many people this is hard work, because they cannot change the way they see themselves. yourself. They believe that their bodies will sooner or later become weak, weak and nothing will change their perceptions. Even so, once they have practiced these five consciousnesses, they will begin to feel younger and more energetic. This can help them change their view of themselves and gradually they begin to notice themselves younger. And soon, many people will tell them that they have a very fresh appearance. 

"In addition, for those who want to be really young, they need to know another extremely important factor. That is the sixth, additional practice, which I intentionally dedicate to it. later to present to you. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.19/2/2020.
