Excerpt: THE LAW OF KARMA. "Karma" is a Sanscrit term for that great Law known to Western thinkers as Spiritual Cause and Effect, or Causation. It relates to the complicated affinities for either good or evil that have been acquired by the soul throughout its many incarnations. These affinities manifest as characteristics enduring from one incarnation to another, being added to here, softened or altered there, but always pressing forward for expression and manifestation. And, so, it follows that what each one of us is in this life depends upon is what we have been and how we have acted in our past lives. Throughout the operations of the Law of Karma the manifestation of Perfect Justice is apparent. We are not punished for our sins, as the current beliefs have it, but instead we are punished by our sins. We are not rewarded for our good acts, but we received our reward through and by characteristics, qualities, affinities, etc., acquired by reason of our having performed these good acts in previous lives. We are our own judges and executioners. In our present lives we are storing up good or bad Karma which will stick to us closely, and which will demand expression and manifestation in lives to come. When we fasten around ourselves the evil of bad Karma, we have taken to shelter a monster which will gnaw into our very vitals until we shake him off by developing opposite qualities. And when we draw to ourselves the good Karma of Duty well performed, kindness well expressed, and Good Deeds freely performed without hope of reward, then do we weave for ourselves the beautiful garments which we are destined to wear upon the occasion of our future lives. The Yogi Teachings relating to the Law of Karma do not teach us that Sin is an offense against the Power which brought us into being, so much as it is an offense against ourselves. We cannot injure the Absolute, nor harm It in any way. But we may harm each other, and in so doing harm ourselves. The Yogis teach that Sin is largely a matter of ignorance and misunderstanding of our true nature, and that the lesson must be well learned until we are able to see the folly and error of our former course, and thus are able to remedy our past errors and to avoid their recurrence. By Karma the effects arising from our sins cling to us, until we become sick and weary of them, and seek their cause in our hearts. When we have discovered the evil cause of these effects, we learn to hate it and tear it from us as a foul thing, and are thence evermore relieved of it.

Yoga is divided into several branches, ranging from that which teaches the control of the body, to that which teaches the attainment of the highest spiritual development. In the work we will not go into the higher phases of the subject, except when the "Science of Breath" touches upon the same. The "Science of Breath" touches Yoga at many points, and although chiefly concerned with the development and control of the physical, has also its psychic side, and even enters the field of spiritual development.

In 1903, Science of Breath introduced Americans to yoga. Throughout this work, Western biology is mixed with Indian spiritual practices to show readers how to breathe better and improve their lives. Yoga can increase focus, decrease stress, and bring the practitioner greater awareness. Anyone interested in yoga will find this helpful guide a great way to start their practice.--This text refers to an alternate edition.

This book explains why breathing is important in Hindu yogi practices. It's written in simple language to help Westerners understand the breathing techniques and exercises used by yogis. The book covers how breathing affects the body, mind, and spirit. We've avoided using confusing Sanskrit terms and focused on explaining things in easy-to-understand English. The book starts with the physical aspects of breath, then talks about how it affects our thoughts and feelings, and finally touches on its spiritual side. We're proud of packing so much yogi knowledge into a small space using words that everyone can understand. Some might think it's too simple, but we believe that the practical-minded Westerners will see its value soon enough. So, welcome to your first lesson in the yogi science of breath!
