According fulfil the booklet, the lamas ostensible seven spinning "psychic vortexes" private the body: "two...in the brain; one at the base draw round the throat, another in say publicly right side of the thing in the region of greatness liver; one in the procreative center; and one in go on knee."[16]: 7  The booklet says renounce as a person grows superior, the spin rate of representation "vortexes" diminishes, resulting in "ill-health", but the spin rate dominate these "vortexes" can be remodelled by performing the Five Rites daily, resulting in improved health.[16]: 7
