Instructions on the practice: What to do? / How to practice?

Copy the movements! In each final position use any type of power to tense the body and make the posture become strong. It’s no problem to use muscle power in the beginning!

Stay in each posture and slowly deep breath! (Full inhalation – Full exhalation) Minimum should be around 4 breathing cycles (any number above is perfectly fine). 

Try to keep the power / strength in each posture steady, regardless of in- or exhalation. Keep Focus and direct your intent in the proper direction.

For what should I aim for? / What is the goal of the practice?

Easy is: Do it for the pleasure of doing it!

Useful is: Make the postures become more powerful / stronger by every week!

Purposeful is: Observe and become aware of your transformation.

The names of the postures are:

Why are there so many variations of this routine?

Practicing without clear intent is useless, no matter which form you choose.

This video is one of the more simple forms that I practice. Easy to remember, clear to execute.

You want more beautiful variations, go ahead. But understand the purpose of simplicity first.

Hill’s concept of “Positive Mental Attitude” (PMA). It is a cornerstone of his philosophy on personal development and success, as outlined in his various works, including the famous book “Think and Grow Rich.” PMA is about maintaining an optimistic, constructive outlook on life, which Hill believed was crucial for achieving one’s goals and overcoming challenges. Here are the key aspects of this concept:

Hill considered a Positive Mental Attitude to be the starting point of all success. He believed that success doesn’t necessarily begin with knowledge, skills, or talent, but with the mindset one adopts. A Positive Mental Attitude shapes how individuals perceive challenges and opportunities. It influences not just thought processes but also actions, leading to more constructive and proactive behaviors. PMA involves not just the presence of positive thoughts but also the absence or management of negative ones. Hill emphasized the importance of controlling one’s mind to prevent negative thoughts from taking root and overshadowing positive ones. Hill was a proponent of the idea that a positive mindset can attract positive outcomes, a concept similar to the Law of Attraction. He believed that by expecting success and maintaining a positive outlook, individuals could draw favorable circumstances and opportunities toward themselves. A Positive Mental Attitude contributes to resilience, enabling individuals to persist in the face of setbacks and failures. Hill argued that setbacks are often stepping stones to success and that a positive attitude helps in navigating through them. Hill also noted that a positive attitude not only benefits the individual who practices it but also positively influences those around them. This can lead to better relationships, more effective leadership, and a more supportive network. Just like the Cosmic Habit Force, Hill believed that a Positive Mental Attitude could be developed and strengthened through habit. Regularly practicing positive thinking and actions reinforces this attitude.

His World Wireless System had the potential to advance technology by nearly a century, while also providing free energy to the globe. Unlike so many of his era, Tesla did not work for financial gain, instead working to advance humanity. Perhaps it is not surprising that a man so far ahead of his time has only found his place in the 21st century, an age shaped by his technological brilliance.
