It. is good to achieve mental relaxation and calm during the mental exercises. But we want more than this. We want the calm and ease of mind to carry through in all the aspects of our everyday life. So once we have mastered the relaxation of our body and the relaxation of our mind, the next step is to consciously sustain the feeling of mental relaxation. At first it is easiest to practise this when we are doing relatively simple things, such as walking slowly along the street. During the course of the day when we have to pause or wait for something, we can consciously practise our exercises by allowing ourselves to recapture the feeling of relaxation of our mind. Although we have to do this consciously at first, we soon find that it comes naturally of its own volition. Gradually this ease of mind begins to penetrate all through us, as it were, so that it is with us in all that we do.

Biological medicine sees arthritis as a systemic disease caused by metabolic disorder and chemical imbalance in the organs, glands, and tissues of the body. The inflammatory and the degenerative changes in the functions of the joints and the surrounding tissues are brought about by the biochemical disturbance, hormonal imbalance, and weakened functions of the vital organs, effected by the prolonged physical and emotional abuses and stresses to which the body has been subjected.

The biological therapies, therefore, are directed at: (1) eradication and correction of the abnormal and health-destroying conditions which have led to the development of the disease; (2) assisting the body’s own healing forces in normalizing all the metabolic processes, cleansing the body of the accumulated toxins and wastes, strengthening the functions of all the vital organs, revitalizing the glandular activity, establishing a chemical balance in the tissues-or, in sum total, rebuilding and strengthening the general health of the patient.
