T his is an area where you have to carefully venture.
The pyramid energy is quite strong; even the one coming
from a small pyramid of 10 cm or 15 cm. Hence a day to
day watch has to be kept while using the pyramid. If the
effect noticed is adverse then you have to discontinue.
I am now giving below my own observations. Please
note that there is no supporting literature on this subject.
The experiments have been carried out by me on my own
and the conclusions I have arrived at are placed before you.
You should appreciate that corroborative studies carried
out by different individuals under similar circumstances are
required to declare the results as unfailing. Conducted by a
single individual over any length of time the studies cannot
reach this stage. Hence your active cooperation and
curiosity are required to make my findings more authentic.
As far as I can conclude the base of the pyramid
appears to release energy which has cooling effect where as

applying the pyramids for therapeutic
applications.
Some people routinely place pyramids under their cots
after studying some article on the subject. Nothing can be
more foolhardy. For example if you are to place the
pyramid under the cot of a person who has constipation it
worsens. If he has bleeding hemorrhoids it becomes worse.
the pyramid.
In cases of patients suffering from excessive heat which
results in disorders like burning eyes, constipation, piles etc.
it is advisable to place the pyramid over the cot. A wooden
cot is better suited for pyramid therapy and the use of steel
cot is to be avoided. Similarly in the case of stomach ulcers
a pyramid should never be placed under the cot as it will
worsen the condition.
In all these cases use the mosquito curtain net rods to
mount the pyramid. The curtain rods gives you a footing to
mount the pyramids. If for example you have constipation
or acidity then it is best to place the pyramid directly above
the stomach across the curtain rod.
For this purpose you need a teak wood beading which
is normally available with all timber merchants. Buy a single
length which will be about 7 to 8 feet long and using a hexa
blade cut it so that it projects by about 2 inches on either
side from the curtain rod when the beading is placed across
it. For example if you are using a 3 feet wide cot then the
beading length should be about 3 feet 4 inches.
66
 Now drill two holes about 1.5 inches from
each end. The size of the hole should be such
that you can take out a plastic thread through it
easily. Place the beading on the curtain rod so
that the beading lies with it’s flat side comfortably resting on
the curtain frame.
Move the beading approximately to the place where
your stomach will be when you sleep. Insert the thread at
one end and firmly tie the thread to the curtain frame so
that the beading is properly fastened at one end.
The next step is to take the compass and keep it
roughly at the center of the beading i.e. about 1.5 feet from
the curtain rod. Carefully move the other loose end of the
beading which is resting on the frame so that the compass
needle shows exactly North South direction.
When this position is located fasten the thread to the
frame so that the beading is securely tied to the curtain
frame. If you are worried that the position may alter during
the course of cleaning etc. use a little MSEAL- so that the
bonding between the beading rod and the thread becomes
permanent.
After this is done take the pyramid and rest it on the
beading at nearly the center so that the apex of the pyramid
is nearly above the center of the curtain frame. It does not
matter if you are a few centimeter off this side or that side.
The two cardinal points should be placed in such a manner
that they are again exactly at the center of the width of the
beading. These cardinal points are actually pointing
67
towers East and West where as the North and
South cardinal ends are hanging out. Now use
a little MSEAL at the points where the pyramid
is making contract with the beading and hold it
a while for the MSEAL to cure. Remove your
hand once you are sure that the MSEAL is set.
You can easily see the advantage of this arrangement.
Depending on the type of problem the patient is facing the
pyramid can be moved to any point over the body from the
legs to the head of the patient keeping in tune with the
patients height. For example the stomach position for an
adult and a child will differ. Thus if the application is for a
child the beading which carries the pyramid can be moved
to the required position.
For placing the Pyramid under a cot follow the
procedure given below:
Take out your compass. Along with it you will need a
six foot long teakwood beading. Push the beading under the
cot on the floor. Adjust the beading so that it is lying
approximately at the middle of the cot. If you have the
resting points of the legs of the cot already marked, then it
is better to push the cot to a side when you do this
alignment of the compass. Otherwise you have to do the
alignment under the cot which is not practicable in most
cases.
Once the beading is placed under the center of the cot
keep the compass at the center of the beading (i.e. three feet
away from each end) and move one end of the beading so
that the compass needle lies above the North-South axis
marked in the compass which in effect means that the entire
68
 beading is lying on the North-South axis. Ask
some one to hold the beading firmly and draw
a line from a marker pen or any other colored
enamel paint. Now you can remove the
compass and the beading and after allowing the
paint to dry push the cot to position already marked.
As the magnetic axis is marked permanently below the
cot and you can move the pyramid easily from one position
to the other over the line depending on the need of the
patient. This saves you substantial time and avoids the time
consuming process of setting up the pyramid and aligning
it on the magnetic axis every time.
Let us see some illnesses where sleeping under a
pyramid can help. I am also giving the position on which
the pyramid should rest. A slight change this way or that
should not matter in the end result.
INSOMNIA
A sizable percentage of suffer from sleeping disorders.
While it cannot be called as a disease, it is no fun being
wide awake when the rest of the family is fast asleep.
Although several methods are suggested for this disorder,
not all people are benefited by it uniformly.
For example taking a warm water bath before retiring
to bed, meditation, yoga, long walks etc. are the solutions
we have heard about.
One can also try the pyramid therapy by placing the
pyramid directly above the Solarpluxes. As you may be
aware abdomen plays a very important part in relaxation
and relaxation is a perquisite for falling asleep. Thus
69
abdominal breathing for example which
encourages full breaths are recommended
whenever a person is tense.
The atmosphere below the pyramid is
relaxing which has a salutary effect on the abdominal walls.
You will find relaxing deeply under the influence of the
pyramid and sleeplessness will be a thing of the past for
you. Once the normal sleeping pattern is established you
can dispense with the use of the pyramid.
ACIDITY
Same position as above. Please note that the Pyramid
is meant to compliment whatever line of therapy you are
taking. It is not meant to substitute it. So do not make the
mistake of discontinuing your medicines or disregard the
advise of your doctor.
You will have however noticed that in case you are
suffering from acidity it troubles you quite often especially
if you are having an extra dish or a party dinner.
One advantage in keeping the pyramid as above is that
it helps strengthen the stomach muscles and makes it
resistant to the attack of the acid so that your discomfort
gets greatly alleviated. Use the pyramid till you get complete
relief.
SINUS PROBLEMS
Lie down as a flat surface. It is better to lie down on
North-South line so that the body is on the Magnetic axis.
Keep the Pyramid over your face so that two of the
faces of the Pyramid are in line with your body. Relax in
70

this position for 15 minutes. Note that the Apex should be
right above your forehead.
Teeth Problems
Some as for Sinus only slide the Pyramid so that the
Apex is above the teeth.
For Hair problems, Migraine, head-ache, etc.
Sit on a chair comfortably. Wear the Pyramid as a hat.
Here again adjust the alignment of the Pyramid so that the
four faces are looking at the four directions.
The same position is useful for ear ache and other
problems connected with the ear.

For problem connected with the
chest
Lie down flat on North South axis and
place the Pyramid again facing the. Four
cardinal axis on your chest. Please note that this treatment
Fig. 40
should be undertaken after ruling out any problems
connected with the heart. Hence it is important that in all
cases of pain in the chest region, you consult your Doctor
to rule out any heart or lung problems. Only when it is
ascertained that the pain is due to weary muscles or pain
due to rib bones which is normal in middle age you can use
the Pyramid as a complimentary therapy along with
medication prescribed by your doctor. Refer fig. 40
Back aches
It is common in middle age. Wrong posture while
sitting or standing is the common cause of this problem in
the middle age and affects office goers. First rule out the
possibility of slipped disc or any other complication in the
spinal column by undergoing a proper checkup from an
orthopedician.
Only where the cause is identified as simple back ache
72
 due to muscle strain without the involvement of
prolapsed discs you can use this therapy with

better results. Refer fig. 41.

WHERE TO KEEP THE PYRAMIDS

Obviously, under the cot in disorders caused by cold,
stiff joints, arthritis, chest congestion etc.
For colds also known as common colds, flu etc., when
your head feels heavy and nose is stuffed keep the pyramid
under the head and go to sleep. When you get up next
morning your head will feel light and your cold will have
disappeared or greatly reduced.
Chest congestion where mucus formation predominant
is another condition which calls for use of pyramid under
the cot. Here keep it under the chest area for best results.
