Lesson One: The Charger Breath
Here are your first instructions, your key Lesson in the Power Breathing technique. This
first exercise is called the Charger Breath. Become very familiar with it, use it often every day, for
it is the foundation of the system.
1. Do all breathing exercises sitting down, the first few days of practice. Use a
comfortable chair, preferably straight-back so that your spine is nice and straight at all times
during the exercise. Your feet should be flat on the floor, hands resting in lap or on knees.
Head straight, facing frontally. Clothes should be loose (or none) and all belts, buttons or
zippers about the abdomen should be loosened for maximum comfort and abdominal expansion.
2. Fix your gaze on a point straight ahead. This is an important step to begin with
because it helps you concentrate on the breath without distraction. Later when you do the
breathing randomly throughout your day while walking etc, this step may of course be
eliminated.
3.The Charger Breath. Inhale deeply, strongly, even forcefully through the nostrils.
Inhale just as deeply and powerfully as you possibly can. Inhale all the way, 'til you've gotten
every last possible drop of air. Without holding or pausing, immediately exhale, strongly,
evenly and thoroughly. This is a very strong, powerful breath; there's nothing timid or
half-way about it. This is not the slow, quiet and gentle breath you may be used to or come to
expect in association with the ordinary yogic techniques. This is more like a Tibetan Bomber,
a full-throttle Samurai Snort. In order to perform it properly, you should go so far as to
scrunch up your face, actually wrinkle your nose into a kind of ferocious expression similar

to those stylized masks of Japanese Noh. With your Noh 
nose properly crinkled and pumping, you  ought to look 
very much  like a cartoon bull, snorting and blowing the 
bellows of those nasal wings as if you could lift  full sail by 
tackling into the wind. 
4. Now in your best, cartoon bull fashion, take 
three  successive Charger Breaths. Remember as you concentrate on the point in front of you, to make each breath 
as strong and even and thorough as possible, both in and 
out.  The  expiration  of  each  breath  should  be  done as 
thoroughly as the inspiration,  so that you  are forcefully 
expelling  the  very last drop  of air. As you do these breaths 
in succession, you should- if  you're  doing it properly- 
sound like a freight train  bearing down the track. Don't 
forget, this is a very  powerful  breath, not at all a timid or 
fainthearted breath. It  is accomplished crisply, with incisiveness.  It should produce  a  loud swooshing  sound  as  it 
surges  through your nostrils, like  the  suction of a powerful 
vacuum. As you become more accomplished, you should 
be able  to whisk gnats out of the  air  and produce eddies  of loose papers on your desk  (anyway, 
you get the general idea). 
5. At this stage  you may do  several complete  rounds of the  three Charger Breaths. 
Take  three  deep, powerful, decisive  and  thorough Charger Breaths. On  the exhalation of that 
third  breath,  pause  for a  few moments (the third  breath should  be  done with particular 
strength and emphasis; there is a'  tendency for some students  to let the  last breath tail off, as 
if they're  in a hurry to go through the repetitions. The opposite should be the case; the last 
breath  of  the series should be particularly  strong,  thorough and emphasized). During the 
few-moments pause, you should  .make  sure that your facial muscles, shoulders, neck, arms 
and legs are completely returned to a state of  relaxation. The spine should always remain 
straight. Don't  ever slouch or  slump  forward. Do another  series of three breaths, pause a few 
moments, relax; then do  the  third series of three Charger Breaths. After  the  last series,  sit  still 
and  feel.  What do you feel like? What is the difference? 
6.  Increase  the number  of  series-repetitions of  the three Charger Breaths  (for 
example,  increase the count to seven by  performing  three Charger Breaths,  pausing  and 
relaxing,  another  three and so  on until  you've  gone  through seven whole  rounds). Again, after 
completion of the  seventh round, sit still and  feel. 
7.  After some practice with the increased series-repetition, you should practice a 
shorter  three-round  series again only with a larger group of Charger Breaths, ie. you should 
practice in clusters of five or  seven Charger Breaths, repeating each cluster  three  times with 
pause and relaxation etc, as per previous instruction. Next, using  the  larger group of Charger 
Breaths (clusters of five or  seven etc), you should increase  the overall series-repetition again 
to a five or  seven round series,  ie. take  seven deep, strong Charger Breaths, pause and relax, 
take  seven more  etc until  you've  completed  five  (or  seven)  repetitions.  Always  sit  still 
afterward, relax and  feel the effect.

Remember that the Charger Breath should be  practiced sitting down at  least the  first 
couple  days;  one of  the effects  you may feel when first  practicing  the Breath is  a kind of  light-headed 
or giddy feeling. This is an effect of possible hyperventilation, and is the reason we recommend 
doing the Breath at first only while sitting down. Consistent practice of the Charger Breath will 
acclimate your system to a more positive and invigorating ratio of oxygen  to carbon dioxide  in the 
bloodstream and tissues, and the threshold of hyperventilation will quickly be pushed back. After 
a few weeks of regular practice you may well be able to do high numbers of series-repetitions  using 
a big seven-group of breaths without experiencing  any effects of hyperventilation  at all. 
Breathing Tips: the proper way  to breathe is by abdominal expansion and contraction, 
not chest expansion  and contraction. When you inhale, the Breath should cause the abdomen  to be 
expressed or pushed out; it should not inflate the chest exaggeratedly as we are sometimes  taught 
(improperly)  in gym  class, and it should not cause the shoulders  to heave up and down unduly. On 
the  exhalation  the  abdomen  should  automatically deflate  and  relax.  Practice  this  abdominal 
breathing, even watch  yourself  in the mirror  to see  that the chest  is  not acting more  than  the abdomen, 
until  it becomes second nature. This is in  fact the body's  natural breath, so that anything which 
emphasizes chest expansion over abdomen  is artificial, learned and inappropriate. 
Note: You may practice Charger Breathing every bit as much  in a relatively polluted 
atmosphere like Los Angeles, as you can in relatively pollution-free environment  like the country 
(if you can  find a pollution-free country). It may seem that you'd  be taking toxins and pollutants 
more deeply into the lungs than would ordinarily be the case; but chronic, superficial or shallow 
breathing  takes  all  those pollutants  in  as  well, and because  it  doesn't respire so  deeply and thoroughly 
it fails to flush the alveoli of the bronchi,  leaving harmful and carcinogenic  pollutants  to stagnate 
in the deeper strata of the  lung-tissue.  Charger Breathing cleanses and purifies  those tissues by 
bringing necessary quantities  of oxygen  to  their cells which otherwise would not penetrate, and by 
flushing old impacted pockets of carcinogenic matter sedirnenting  the deeper  layers of the system. 
In future issues of The New Thunderbird Chronicle we will describe further benefits and health residuals  to be obtained from practicing the Charger Breath. 
Note: Do not practice Charger Breathing in the car with the windows rolled up, or on 
the highway. You may feel after  weeks of practice that you are past the point of hyperventilation, 
so that  it would be  safe to Breathe while driving. However,  the automobile (and especially  in 
conjunction with the freeway system) circulates exhaust furmes  through the cab of the car; exhaust 
fumes are tricky, for you may do a long series of Charger Breaths  in the car feeling no ill effects, 
no giddiness or blurring of perception, then stop for a few moments and suddenly feel the onrush 
of a fainting spell produced by the accumulated intake of fumes. 
In  the  following  months we will add  to  the technique  and application of Power Breathing, 
with special reference to the cornerstone method of the Charger Breath. Look for us, and follow 
the special instruction we give  to all, hopefully,  in  these pages month  to month, follow the instruction 
as it's  given, and you can't  help but  feel the resultant Change.  In order to know what the great 
Change is that we're  talking about, you must  follow  and do  the practice. Don't  forget: Do your 
Charger Breathing daily. It is very important. Make the Power Breath more popular than  jogging. 
[First published  in 7NTC  Vol. I, No. 2 Aug.-Sept. '891 
For those who're coming to this column for the first  tie,  we recommend you practice 
a few days on the preliminary Charger Breath before progressing  to  the current  lesson. A summary 
of that Breath is as follows: (until you become acclimated to the very tangible, strong, awakening

power of this breath, we recommend  that you practice  it seated, in a comfortable chair which keeps 
the spine straight and vertical, face straight ahead, feet flat on floor, hands  relaxed on knees or in 
lap). 
Breathe very strongly, evenly and thoroughly through  the nose, powerfully drawing the 
air in as deeply as possible; exhale through the nose with equal strength and thoroughness. This is 
characterized as a fierce breath. It should produce a loud rushing sound, like  the steam blasts given 
off by old-time engines. Do  this fierce, pumping Charger Breath several times in a row, pause. 
Relax. Feel. Repeat Do a few such  repetitions  of this  basic cluster of Charger Breaths. Increase  the 
number of breaths in a cluster, and then the number of  repetitions of  the-expanded-cluster  (i.e., 
do five Charger Breaths, repeat  this group five whole times with pause and relaxation between  each 
group performance). 
Lesson Two: 
Whole Charger Breath 
1. Do all new breathing exercises  sitting down at least the first several sessions of 
practice, regardless whether  you've already practiced the previous variations. This  is because 
each modification of  the basic breath,  or each  introduction of  a  supplemental technique, 
produces a different effect on the system (whether a strongly different or subtly adherent 
effect); even if you're  thoroughly  acclimated to the effects of previous exercises,  this does not 
therefore  "inoculate"  you  against the modified  effects which  each new  lesson  introduces. 
Always sit with spine  straight, clothes  loose  (or  none),  feet  flat on  floor, hands relaxed on knees 
or  in lap. Fix your gaze on a point straight ahead to aid in concentration while performing 
the Breath. 
2.  Perform a succession of three powerful Charger Breaths, as you should be by 
now accustomed. Inhale strongly  and sharply, thoroughly  through the nose, then exhale with 
similar vigor,  evenness and maximum expulsion of air also  through  the nostril except,  this 
time, on the  last repetition of the Charger Breath, the exhalation  is to be performed through 
the mod.  To do  this correctly,  the lips should be compressed leaving only a very slight gap, 
virtually imperceptible  to vision, through which the air of the exhalation  is allowed  to escape. 
This has the effect of greatly  slowing the  last exhalation. The use of such scarcely-pursed lips 
regulates the flow of air much more dramatically and "voluntarily"  than can be done 
by breathing out through the nose. There are  two basic ways of allowing  this last exhalation 
of  the series  to take place:  the breath may be expelled by a kind of deliberate pressure, ie. 
actually blowing out through the slight gap of the lips; or  it may be allowed to "ease"  away 
as  if on its own, the air being leaked very slowly and evenly by the natural contraction of the 
abdomen and consequent deflation of  the diaphragm without any deliberate "blowing"  on 
the part of the practitioner. This last breath makes  the  final  series-exhalation especially  slow; 
and it is only when  the escaping air has left the lungs in their normally-relaxed  state that 
deliberate expulsion of the remaining C02  in the air sacs is called for, finishing off the final 
series-breath with a distinct, pressurized puff. 
It  is recommended that the practitioner favor the method of deliberately (though 
slowly)  blowing the air  through the  lips on the  last exhalation,  at  the beginning of each Whole 
Charger Breath  session;  but  that,  during  the  numerical  increase of  breath-clusters  and

series-repetitions  in which the Breath is performed, the practitioner should gradually switch 
to the much slower method of allowing the air  to simply "leak  out"  the tiny labial opening 
(like the scarcely perceptible leak of air  from a minutely punctured balloon) on the automatic 
deflation of the diaphragm. 
The reason for this progression has to do with  the greater comfort experienced 
while "relaxing"  the breath out of your system, the more saturated in surplus oxygen  the 
system becomes; the further into your Charger Breath session,  the more deeply you will have 
succeeded in altering  the ratio of oxygen to C02  in the blood in favor of oxygen; therefore  the 
less likelihood there is of feeling  that faint "panic"  for air  that might otherwise be felt if you 
tried "leaking"  the last series-breath at  the beginning of your session. 
3. Perform several complete rounds of  the three Whole-Charger-Breaths always 
breathing through  the nose,  in and out, except on  the last series-breath where you breathe 
very slowly, evenly and thoroughly out  the mouth, through scarcely pursed lips. Pause, relax 
completely (always keeping  spine  and head straight) and  feel  at  the end of each round, before 
proceeding to the next cluster of three Whole-Charger-Breaths. Next, increase  the number of 
breaths in a cluster (i.e.,  from 3  to 5, later from 5  to 7 etc); and then increase  the number of 
rounds each amplified series of Breaths is performed (ie., from 3  rounds to 5, later from 5  to 
7 etc). 
Remember:  always breathe out through the mouth only on the last exhalation of 
the given series  (for example,  the three-breath series:  in-nose, out-nose;  in nose, out nose;  in 
nose, out mouth and  of round). There  is no "count",  as  in many breathing exercises,  so don't 
worry about measuring  the  inhalations  and exhalations against each other according  to some 
standardized ratio (2 to 4 etc). 
After practicing  in the  seated position several times during each day, you will have 
succeeded in pushing back the threshold of possible hyperventilation to the degree that you can 
perform the Whole-Charger-Breath randomly, while walking, standing etc. You should resort to 
this random charge-up often. You'll  find it makes  you feel better  in general, more alert and vigorous 
in particular, with  a balanced amplification of  the overall sense of poise,  ease, confidence  and 
well-being. Best of all,  this practice  sets the first  (though necessary) foundation-tiles  for  succeeding 
months' instruction  in which you'll  learn to apply the Breath and its modifications  for important 
work in rousing dormant faculties and functions, sparking higher agencies of psychic, emotional, 
mental and spiritual potential while speeding the harmonious integration of whole-Being systems 
and circuits for  improved health and a deeper, more essential happiness. 
But  you must  keep up your practice  daily. Maintain a diary or calender to remind 
yourself, and to  record your successes  in meeting your schedule with  the Power Breath. Also, leave 
helpful notes and messages around  the house (taped  to  the  refrigerator, wedged in  the mirror-frame), 
in the car (visor, dashboard) and  even at work  (fixed to the me-cabinet, under the glass of the 
desktop). Such messages can simply remind you: BREATHE! 
Follow  the instruction as  it's given, and you can't help but feel  the resultant Change.  In 
order to  know what  the great Change  is  that we're talking about,  you must  follow  and do the practice. 
Don't  forget: do your Charger Breathing daily. It's  very important. Make the Power Breath more 
popular than  jogging.

Lesson Three: 
Tips For The Balance 
From our recent enjoyable experience at the Expo, we  find that many have begun a 
conscientious practice of daily Power Breathing as  taken  right out  of  these  pages; many others  should 
now be encouraged  to  join the practice having been initiated directly into its healthy, rejuvenating 
and Awakening benefits. We  find (in speaking with people,  fielding questions or simply hearing 
general comments) that, once having overcome the plain inertia discussed in our very first  lesson 
as  the principal impediment to even wing  the easy methodology, the inherent effectiveness and 
immediacy of the practice encourages quickly turning up the front-burners of enthusiasm. Thus 
those who've experienced  even  the preliminary, first-time  uplift of the practice sense  a self-renewal 
stirring suddenly inside that's so innately exciting  they wish  to know immediately how to extract 
all  the gold out of  their  newly discovered Mine. It's  to this  question  that we  address our (abbreviated) 
column this  month. 
Though you're  sure  to feel that, if  just a IittIe of this breathing regimen does so much 
and moves  your systems  so  far  then a  lot must  portend some  rapid and inconceivable  Transformation, 
it's wise  to allow  the practice  to open all  the centers  and energetic lines  in a natural, balanced way. 
Your  systems know,  and can certainly  tell  yo&  how  much  you're  capable of  absorbing and 
efficiently processing at one time; but it is possible, in an overriding rush  of enthusiasm,  to push 
the practice down a long-distance stretch  right away thus forcing into far zones before  the cues of 
your system have a chance  to  register. This  inordinate  enthusiasm,  perhaps fueled by the gratifying 
upsurge of additional energy but coupled  to a long-starving psyche just now realizing the extent of 
its  deprivation and wishing to "make up  for  lost  time", may serve  temporarily  to overtax  the  present 
capacities  of your system. The common result may be, no. 1  : 
Unnecessary extremes of hyperventilation. As was explained at our lecture-demonstration at  the Expo, "hyperventilation"  is only an  initial effect or  potential  of applying the 
Power Breathing regimen;  the light-headedness you may experience at first progressively 
diminishes with practice. It  results  in any case from the  increase  of energy--produced  by the 
Charger Breath4riving the consciousness-systems to the ceiling of  their current (conditioned) capacity for  sustaining  the minimum degree of focal resolution necessary  to maintain 
effective  alignment with  the "Waking" zone of common perceptual coherence. Those  systems 
are  temporarily pushed past  the ordinary threshold  separating  the narrow-band waking  zone 
of consciousness from the more diffuse medium of psychic energy-processing in which the 
concentrated  spark  of  self-reflective awareness  has yet  to  be  struck.  That  "region'  of 
energization  in which the ordinary low-level harmony supportive  of-normal-self-reflective 
awareness  tends  to  dissipate,  accompanied by  the  seeming  "swoon"  of  that  awareness, 
represents the pons asinorum in the present intersection of your optimal "conscious  lights" 
with  the  zone of your greater Being  (presently understood as  subconcious,  and only "known"

by reflection from fragments reclaimed out of the dream state). 
Progressive, balanced and unhurried practice of  the Whole Charger Breath (in 
conjunction with supplemental  techniques  you'll be receiving  in  the  following months, or  those 
specialized meditative practices available on tape'through Southern Crown) will serve unerringly  to push  back  that  threshold  of  hyperventilation.  In  this way  increasingly  integral, 
intensified values of self-reflective consciousness  are  installed in the place of that  threshold so 
as  to constitute  a continuous salient into  the frontiers of formerly   subconscious'^ regions-or 
dimensions of the greater Being--making  them available to consciousness and progressively 
incorporating their functional values as accessible agencies of  the "ordinary"  waking state. 
In  this way  the phenomenon of "hyperventilation"  has progressively  less  to do with the effects 
experienced as a consequence  of consciously applying  the Charger Breathing regimen. 
The  second common result of (understandably) "overdoing  it"  at  first  in  the  initial 
burst of enthusiasm, is that of straining facial or neck muscles.  If you've  overdone it  to the 
degree that portions of your face, head, neck or back of the head seem to go numb, simply 
relax, sit still and breathe normally;  it's  a temporary effect and swiftly recedes. Similarly,  if 
you've  failed to be punctilious in these precautions and seem to have strained some muscle or 
tissue (typically, facial muscles or buccal tissue) again, relax and resume normal breathing. 
You may have to desist from practicing the Charger Breath with any real vigor or  energetic 
force for a  few days until  the strain relaxes. These types of  over-exertion are minor and 
transitory  disturbances. They do not happen  at all when  the practitioner  conscientiously 
monitors  the  response  of  his  systems to  those  increments  of  the practice  he's  assumed 
according  to instruction. 
You may find that "progress"  in the overall strengthening of  tissue and muscle 
groups and the receding of the hyperventilation-threshold enabling more extensive application of  the practice, seems "uneven";  it may increase smoothly at a clip and then suddenly 
seem to hit a "hill";  you may find yourself remaining at a particular number of repetitions 
and rounds (say, a 7-breath set for 7 rounds) for a much longer time than was the case with 
previous sets and rounds, as  if having come to an  impasse. You should enjoy  this provisional 
"upper  limit"  for as  long as  it seems fired, and refrain from impatience. There is no contest 
to  ''mount  to  ever-expanding  heights of  hyper-intensive  breathing".  Cooperate with  the 
inherent wisdom of your  systems-  just  don't let lethargy,  the  fickleness  of psychological  mood 
or conceptual restraint dictate to you in the pretext that they speak for your actual energy- 
processes and mind-body systems. 
The  third  common  result  of overpracticing  the  Power Breath, is  the  onset  of a minor 
temporary "headache".  This  is a result of energy-concentration produced in amplification  of 
the carrying  "current",  but  processed  through  ordinary  avenues  belonging  to  relatively 
imbalanced circuits of  the system that haven't  benefited as yet from the greater harmony 
which measured application of  the technique over time inevitably yields.  Interestingly, the 
balanced and intelligently graduated practice of the Whole Charger Breath serves ultimately 
to relieve even long-time difficulties involving headaches, including migraines. This isn't  so 
difficult  to understand, once we note that medical research ascribes the general symptoma- 
tology of "migraines"  to a pathological  condition of local oxygen-deprivation. 
Always remember, then,  to apply yourself steadily, conscientiously and wisely  to the 
daily practice of Power Breathing. Your enjoyment will increase, your enthusiasm will  increase,

and ultimately a balanced and harmonious outlook will arise through which you may successfuily 
apply yourself, extracting maximum benefits fiom the  Charger-Breathing techniques in the most 
economic span of  time compatible with smooth natural  progress. Therefore enjoy your practice.
