A storm bringing a divine wind or Kamikazee sank all of his ships and the battle never took place.</font> <p> A closer look showed two planning errors were really responsible. The first was to scour the country side and include shallow draft, flat-bottomed river boats in his armada. Unstable, they turned over with the first rough seas. The second error was to have the captured Japanese prisoners build and repair his ships and preparing for the invasion. <p> The slave prisoners took every opportunity to sabotage the seaworthiness of their enemy's ships. The combined effect was a disaster. If The Great Kahn has waited only one year, he could have had his fleet at full strength and we would be living in a different world. <p> Don't miss your greatness by being impatient with yourself. Personal growth is best accomplished by praising yourself for what you have achieved and thanking your Self for where you are going. It unfolds from there. This next breath exercise will assist you. <p> <b><font color="#990033">Exercise Corner:</font></b><BR> <font color="#000000"> You boosted intuition in the first month, increased awareness in the second and relaxed your heart in the third. I know you are feeling better and if you never progress beyond repeating the mechanical aspects of Full Wave Breathing, you can expect to live a longer, livelier, happier life. So what's left? What remains is for you to apply more of your spiritual power - your focused action - to enhance the functioning of your body mind and spirit.</font> <p> <b> Stabilizing the Flow </b><br> Sitting upright with your back supported, imagine energy rising from the fiery center of the earth as you inhale. Visualize this energy as you pull it into the body through the soles of your feet in the Full Wave Breathing pattern, to exit the head at your crown and disperse around you as you exhale. Feel your shoulders and back relax as you exhale. Repeat as you allow your body to move as you breathe.<p> <hr color="#0066FF"> <b><i><h4>Keep breathing!<br> Tom</h4></i></b> <p> </td> <td valign="top" bgcolor="#CAD7FF" width="200"> <font size="3"><br><center><b>Asthma Alert</b><br> <font size="2"> <i>The New York Times</i> reported a study that showed asthma attacks predictably follow emotional upset.
