Introduction to Easy Stretching Postures
Presented herein is a quick and efficient method of self-help for solving the many problems of health encountered by everyone, young and old. Especially very busy men and women will find this shortcut to well-being a great and useful boon. It requires only a few minutes anywhere in private to practice the postures explained in this book.
The Wireless Energy Currents of Polarity in the body are beneficially affected as one gently and gracefully wiggles into the postures. The squatting position brings the three airy energy fields, one immediately over the other, into active and reactive tension flow of energy waves. The idea itself is an "Acre of Diamonds" in everyone's own back yard, previously totally overlooked. We can deal with vital atomic energy in ourselves right now, for pain and tension relief as well as for steady improvement in our health.
To assure the good reader that these seemingly difficult postures can be mastered and that much benefit can be gained by regularly and consistently following these principles and practices for a few minutes each day, please allow the author to make the following statements:
All that is offered herein is based upon personal experience and facts worked out by practice. The principles used are the same as those given by the author in his books entitled Energy: The Vital Polarity in the Healing Art, The Wireless Anatomy of Man, and Polarity Therapy,* explaining the concept of finer energy currents in Nature and in man's body - reciprocal and interchangeable in essence - upon which depend our lives and health here on earth.
The author passed his 64th birthday on February 26, 1954.† He had not been able to correctly take these postures until the discovery of the gentle rocking motion to shift the polarity constantly from one group of muscles to another, which made the accomplishment of the postures possible.
Within three weeks after this discovery and the application of the principle of "effortless effort" in this posture work, the author was not only able to pose for the illustrations presented in this book but also was able to hold them all the while they were being sketched.
The idea of a youthful life at 65 is not too farfetched when it can be demonstrated!
Sincerely,
Randolph Stone

† Dr. Stone lived an active life for almost 30 years after he wrote these words and he continued to use and teach these postures. In addition, Chapter 23 includes material that he published in 1970 on other exercises that he developed in later years, most of which were a further development of the original exercises that he first publicized in 1954 in a small booklet.
