Synopsis

The Yogis of India have known the secret power of water for centuries, but here all is revealed for Western readers. In this lost classic of New Thought philosophy-an early "New Age" attitude wildly popular at the turn of the 20th century-one of its most influential thinkers reveals: - the benefits of drinking hot water - how water can unclog the "sewer" of the intestinal tracts - when to take advantage of the Hindu "internal bath" - the scientific way to bathe - and much more. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932)-aka Theron Q. Dumont-was born in Baltimore and had built up a successful law practice in Pennsylvania before professional burnout led him to the religious New Thought movement. He served as editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and as editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books-including Arcane Formula or Mental Alchemy and Vril, or Vital Magnetism-under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Among the Yogis of India, the system of Physical Well Being known as “Hatha Yoga,” in its many phases and forms, is followed, practiced and taught. Thousands of natives of India know no other form of physical culture, or methods of hygiene, and maintain health and physical vigor by an adherence to its precepts. In connection with Mental Healing, this system forms the great Natural Healing school of the Hindus. In our work on “Hatha Yoga,” we have explained that system in general, and in many of its details. There is one form or phase of “Hatha Yoga,” however, which constitutes an important part of this great system of Natural Healing, which should be understood and practiced by those who would maintain a healthy condition of physical being, and which is worthy of being explained in detail in a supplementary volume—the Hindu Yogi system of Practical Water Cure. In response to many demands from those who were interested in our presentation of the general subject of “Hatha Yoga,” we have incorporated in this supplementary book the details of the said system. We trust that we will bring to the attention of many persons of the Western world the benefits to be derived from this most meritorious system.
