In the “Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East” it says:
To impose one idea upon the body in substitution of another, or to attempt with the mind to awaken bodily centers is the most intense form of hypnosis for it is the willful imposition of thought and becomes most binding. Did you ever notice how living sense of joy functions equally and automatically over your entire being, no part of your being had to be stimulated to that state of joy. Imagine how long it would take you to become joyous if you had to proceed to concentrate upon each part of your body to awaken it to the state of joy and then proceed with each body center in this way until you become happy. Mental processes do not produce spirituality nor do they awaken the physical centers. Spiritual awakening immediately pervades the entire being of man, and when the “I” is lifted up the entire man is lifted up with it.
