SOME PRACTICAL RULES FOR

THE UPBRINGING OF CHILDREN

 

Organise light physical duties for children. At a later stage children can be given a little garden to cultivate.

 

Detailed Explanations about Walking Barefoot, Bare-headed and about Clothing in General

 

You should walk barefoot in summer, particularly from the beginning of May so that your feet will be in contact with the earth and you will be able to absorb electricity and the earth’s magnetism.

 

Those of you who are unaccustomed to walking barefoot should do so only for an hour or so after sunrise. That is beneficial.

 

I would recommend that both men and women should walk barefoot when the sun rises, but let this be outside the city in some beautiful place. It is dangerous to walk barefoot in cities because one might hurt one’s foot on a stone or sharp object.

 

People often ask this question: “Can one walk barefoot all the year round?” This is not very practical. Children should go barefoot during the summer months.

 

People ask if they can walk on grass. “Kes, you may; on grass, on hot sand, in water.

 

For those of you who suffer from thinning hair and headaches, walking hatless for three or four hours a day is beneficial in summer. Walking hatless in the sun has a healing effect on the head. However, in summertime, when the sun is at its height it is better to wear a hat because the sun’s rays have a very powerful effect on the brain.

 

How should we dress? Clothing should be loose to ensure constant ventilation of the body and to allow the free flow of electric and magnetic currents.

 

Clothing should be light. Women should make clothes that suit the shape of their bodies. I would like the women of the White Brotherhood to have a particular air about them, I would like them to strive towards developing and beautifying their bodies. For this reason I am setting these exercises for all of you so that you will not be sickly.

 

Everybody has a strong preference for a given colour. Remain true to the colour you prefer. Do not change your taste. Try to get your friends to like this colour too. And if you come to a. colour combination which is liked by both you and your friends, you will indeed be happy.

 

Wear soft colours.

 

How Can One Develop one’s Singing Voice Correctly?

 

Rule number one: your voice depends on your lungs and your larynx. Consequently, you should not subject your larynx to sudden changes of temperature — from cold to hot and from hot to cold.

 

Apart from this, some artificial acids spoil the voice, and a person who wishes to possess a good voice should eat sweeter foods.

 

When you go out into open spaces, do as many voice exercises as possible.

 

If you are alone, sing!

 

Know that your voice is dependent on love. Only a person who loves possesses a voice. He speaks. Persons without love are voiceless.

 

Do not allow yourself to be persuaded that you cannot sing, but rather allow yourself to be persuaded that you can sing and develop your voice. Apply yourself to the thought that you can develop your voice, listen to good singers, be inspired by them, for they will give you the impulse you need.
