As a bonus to Lesson One: Breath Control... I want to take this time to bombard you with images of The Chakras (pronounced: Shock - Rah) and any search on wikipedia will undoubtedly lead you to:
Chakra (derived from the Sanskrit cakraṃ चक्रं ([ˈtʃəkrə̃]), pronounced [ˈtʃəkrə] in Hindi; Pali: chakka ॰हक्क, Tamil: Sakkeram, Chinese: 轮, Tibetan: འཁོར་ལོ་;khorlo) is a Sanskrit word that translates as "wheel" or "turning".[1]
Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-like vortices which, according to traditional Indian medicine, are believed to exist in the surface of the etheric double of man.[2] The Chakras are said to be "force centers" or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation. Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the reception and transmission of energies.[3]Different systems posit a varying number of chakras, the most well known system in the West is that of 7 chakras.
It is typical for chakras to be depicted as either flower-like or wheel-like. In the former, a specific number of "petals" are shown around the perimeter of a circle. In the latter, a certain number of spokes divide the circle into segments that make the chakra resemble a wheel (or "chakra"). Each chakra possesses a specific number of segments or petals.
Texts documenting the chakras go back as far as the later Upanishads, for example the Yoga Kundalini Upanishad.
Not only do I want for you to become very familiar with The Chakras, I also want you to gain knowledge on other Symbols that will be of benefit to you.Today, it's The Flower Of Life!
But,first,HOW ABOUT THOSE CHAKRAS!!!
Please,pay careful attention to the location and color of each chakra, you have to imagine the energy passing through each one of these and as you progress you will soon have to also associate the colors to each point you pass the energy through. Always begin at the Navel/Sacral Point/Center and always end at the Navel/Sacral Point/Center.

THE FLOWER OF LIFE
The Flower Of Life bears many different reasons for existence to many different people but one thing is definitely certain,The Flower Of Life is the visual representation of The Code of Life and AUM. (more on AUM, AH and OM is coming soon)
Hereiswhat Wiki says about The Flower Of Life:
The Flower of Life is the modern name given to a geometrical figure composed of multiple evenly-spaced, overlapping circles. They are arranged to form a flower-like pattern with a sixfold symmetry, similar to a hexagon. The center of each circle is on the circumference of six surrounding circles of the same diameter.
It is considered by some to be a symbol of sacred geometry, said to contain ancient, religious value depicting the fundamental forms of space and time.[1][2][3][4] In this sense, it is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings, and it is believed to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living things.[5]
There are many spiritual beliefs associated with the Flower of Life; for example, depictions of the five Platonic Solids are found within the symbol of Metatron's Cube,[citation needed] which may be derived from the Flower of Life pattern. These platonic solids are geometrical forms which are said to act as a template from which all life springs.[citation needed]
According to Drunvalo Melchizedek, in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the stages which construct the Seed of Life are said to represent the seven days of Creation, in which Elohim created life; Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 23:12, 31:16-17, Isaiah 56:6-8. Within these stages, among other things, are the symbols of the Vesica Piscis, an ancient religious symbol, and Borromean rings, which represents the Holy Trinity.[1][2]
