    Dear Friends,

    First of all, I'd like to thank all of you for joining the BardonPraxis
    group! It's nice to see such a quick response. :) To my mind, this is
    evidence that others share my dissatisfaction with the unmoderated
    groups which are often flooded with posts that have no bearing upon the
    Bardon work. This group however, will have a more focused flavor. As
    your [totally ruthless! ;-)] moderator, I will be working with two
    absolute rules:

    #1) All posts *must* be clearly relevant to the Bardon work.
    #2) Absolutely *no* rude or disrespectful posts will be allowed.

    This doesn't mean that I will limit Bardon-related discussion, nor that
    I will be micro-managing interpersonal relations amongst the membership.
    ;-) I simply wish to create a focused discussion group, within
    parameters that will guarantee focus instead of distraction.

    Secondly (this is actually the main point of this post), I want to let
    you know that I've posted two .PDF files to the "Files" section of the
    BardonPraxis website:
    ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis/files ).

    The first is a .PDF version of my "Commentary Upon Initiation Into
    Hermetics" (in English). I've posted it here for your personal
    convenience and as soon as the French, Spanish and German translation
    are complete (which should be fairly soon), I will post .PDF versions of
    them as well.

    My second posting is a .PDF version of an excellent little book by Yogi
    Ramacharaka titled, "Science of Breath". I recently recommended this to
    one of my "Hermetic Visitors" in reference to some breathing issues he
    was having in regard to his meditation posture. Essentially, he would
    forget to breathe and, once he realized this, he would inhale copious
    amounts of air to compensate. This often resulted in a feeling of
    pressure at his solar plexus and even tingling in his extremities, both
    of which are signs of imbalanced oxygenation of the blood stemming from
    improper breathing. The best cure that I know for this is to train the
    body to the "yogic complete breath" as described by Yogi Ramacharaka in
    his book, "Science of Breath". Eventually my friend found a .PDF
    version (apparently legal and not in violation of copyright) available
    on the Internet and sent me the link. I downloaded the file and offer
    it here.

    This book and the breathing techniques it describes are very useful in
    the Bardon work and especially appropriate for Step Two and the
    "Physical" exercises of bodily discipline. Proper breathing during
    periods of deep concentration and meditation is important.

    My best to you all,
    :) Rawn Clark
