BREATHING
The centre which regulates the respiratory system, the breathing system, has a sort of controlling action over the system of nerve currents ... from rhythmical breathing comes a tendency of all the molecules in the body to move in the same direction.
When mind changes into will, the nerve currents change into a motion similar to electricity ... This shows that when the will is transformed into the nerve currents, it is changed into something like electricity.
When all the motions of the body have become perfectly rhythmical, the body has, as it were, become a gigantic battery of will.
