XVI. The first wheels were most likely huge round

one place to another. The next ones were probably
circles of wood cut from trees and joined by a

MOMENT TO CALM DOWN
METHOD 1
i) Keep in mind, it takes many years to put up
stress, so it can take a
long time to lose it completely. Recreation, like
all skills, takes time
to learn, so don't quit too easily. It's regular to
find yourself
gaping frequently, and having stomach (65) "rumbles"
and watering
eyes to start with. As part of your knowledge,
become aware of the
things that make you nervous and the changes that
then happen in your
body. Learn to take action to relieve tension before
it becomes
(66) "built-in".
Simple method
A basic technique is to sit in a comfortable sofa
with your feet on the floor,
slightly apart, your underside well back in the seat
and your hands loosely in
your lap, one of top of the other. Close your eyes.
Check right through your body,
starting with the top of your head. Feel yourself

before you move on to the next. When you feel ready,
open your
eyes again. Have a good (67) "stretch".

METHOD 2
Your individual location
Sit or lie in a comfortable sofa and relax, using
the simple method
above. Suppose yourself in your own special
location. It could be a warm beach; somewhere in the
forest; or your own bed. It's your own location.
There is nothing you must do, nowhere you must go
and nothing you must be. When you have established
your place, just
(70) "luxuriate", in the tranquility and stay as
long as you want before widening and coming back to
the room. (Even a few minutes doing this can have an
incredibly relaxing result.)
The shrine of peace
Sit or lie and rest, as in the basic technique
above. Imagine a mount
sheltered with leaves. A lane leads to the top,
where you can see the
shrine of peace. It is a autumn morning, bright and
enjoyably warm.
Notice how you are clothed. Become aware of your
body ascending
the lane, and feel the contact of your feet with the
earth. Feel the
gentle wind on your cheeks. Look about you at the
trees and the bushes, the
lawn, and the beautiful flowers as you go up. You
are now approaching the
top of the hill. Ageless stillness (71 ) "pervades"
the atmosphere of the
shrine of peace. No sound has ever been (72)
"uttered" here. You are
close to its big timber doorways: see your hands on
them and feel the
wood. Before opening the doors, know that when you
do so, you will be
surrounded by silence and relaxation.

XX. An infant born with a type of congenital heart
disease that produces a bluish tinge in the skin,
mucous membranes, and nail beds is called blue baby.
Additionaly, the child undergoes (77) "fatigue" and
dyspnea (difficult breathing), and in severe cases
there may be (78) "spells" of coma. The bloom of the
infant is due to the presence of deoxygenated blood
in its arteries. Usually, deoxygenated blood from
the veins enters the right side of the heart, from
where it is pumped through the pulmonary blood
vessel to the lungs. In the lungs the blood picks up
oxygen from the air and returns to the left side of
the heart, and it is then pumped through the aorta
to the body's (79) "vast" network of arteries. In a
blue baby, a big portion of the venous
(deoxygenated) blood goes around the lungs. In some
cases, a hole in the arterial or ventricular septum
dividing the right and left sides of the heart
allows much of the deoxygenated blood to pass
directly to the left side and into the aorta. In
others, the pulmonary artery is narrowed, and the
aorta, which has not developed in its proper
position, receives blood from the right as well as
the left sides. In still other cases, the pulmonary
artery arises from the left side while the aorta
arises from the right side, a reversal of their
normal
positions. The prediction for a blue baby depends on
the severity of its heart
defect. Most defects can be successfully treated
through operation.
