You
should
begin
every
morning
to
hold
the
spine
straight
and
erect,
and
each
day
should
represent
an
increment
of
success
in
the
struggle
finally
to
maintain
involuntarily
this
position
of
the
body.
On
arising
in
the
morning,
practice
some
of
the
exercises
illustrated
in
this
chapter
for
stimulating
the
thyroid
gland,
being
careful
to
perform
them
just
as
instructed
in
each
illustration.
Whenever
you
are
unoccupied
during
the
day,
it
is
a
good
plan
to
practice
these
movements
occasionally,
as
they
will
assist
you
materially
in
maintaining
the
spine
in
that
erect
position
which
I
found
so
important
at
the
beginning
of
my
vocal
studies.
The
most
important
movement
is
to
bring
the
chin
downward,
inward,
and
backward
as
far
as
possible,
endeavoring
to
arch
as
much
as
you
can
the
back
of
the
neck.
You
may
have
to
practice
a
long
while
before
you
notice
an
outline
that
will
in
any
way
resemble
an
arch
in
the
back
of
your
neck,
but
all
this
work
you
can
be
assured
will
be
of
decided
benefit
to
you.
And,
whether
or
not
you
attain
the
desired
arch,
you
can
be
assured
of
benefits
that
will
be
worth
all
your
efforts.
When
you
make
these
movements
properly,
there
is
no
necessity
for
trying
to
bring
the
chest
out
or
the
shoulders
far
back.
The
simple
movements
of
the
neck
alone
as
described,
if
properly
performed,
will
fulfill
all
requirements.
For
these
movements
tend
mechanically
to
raise
and
arch
the
chest
and
to
throw
the
shoulders
far
backward.
Remember
also
the
necessity,
when
taking
these
movements,
of
keeping
the
abdominal
region
expanded
as
fully
as
possible.
Do
not
draw
in
the
waist
line.
The
importance
of
this
admonition
cannot
be
too
strongly
emphasized.
If
you
maintain
a
full
abdomen,
thyroid-stimulating
movements
seem
to
tone
up,
increase
in
size,
and
strengthen
all
the
vital
organs
lying
in
the
gastric
region.
