Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal
by Richard Gordon
“The Hawaiian kahunas experienced the life-force in the breath and called it ‘Mana’. They considered it an essential factor in the process of prayer and healing. [T]he early Hawaiians were dumfounded and amazed when they saw the Western priests suddenly drop down to their knees and pray without doing any special breathing whatsoever. The word ‘haole,’ which refers to these visitors from the mainland, actually means ‘without breath.’”
“The 2-6 Breath — the name says it all: two counts for the inhalation and six counts for the exhalation.
“This breath requires a bit of effort. You have to really pull in a good deal of air to totally fill your lungs with a complete breath in just two counts. There is no breath holding in this or any other technique. The exhalation is smooth and even to the count of six.”
