Yoga of the Soul

by on Thursday, June 28th, 2012

This amazing, spellbinding book, draws the reader to enter higher realms of consciousness, to easier understand the greater capacity of Soul Love.
Assisting the reader in understanding the quantum dimensions of fate and free will, this vibrantly written true story demonstrates how we can increase the higher power of our ability to surf the Time-Space matrix.

The book’s story is crossing age old taboos, helping shed light on our deeper human motivation to love. It shows how we can fullifill our longing for a soulmated love and how we can merge our souls into the unity, which truly is the red carpet ride on our journey back Home.

This book that has helped many readers find their inner truth, inspiration and courage to follow their heart and soul’s calling.
This book has been getting rave reviews in Germany, where it was first published in 2007.

What is Yoga of the Soul about?

The description calls it a true story that deals with higher realms of consciousness, soul love, and the “quantum dimensions of fate and free will”.

Where was it first published?

The book description says it was first published in Germany in 2007, and says it has been getting rave reviews there. That is the description’s statement, which this page cannot verify.

What will I learn from it?

It says the story shows how readers can fulfill a longing for a “soulmated love” and merge souls into unity.

This summary is based on the book description on the Amazon page.

How should I approach spiritual books about consciousness?

Books on consciousness, fate and free will offer ideas rather than evidence, and readers can enjoy them as such. Meditation is one place where spiritual and scientific language meet. The NCCIH meditation page describes it as a variety of practices used to calm the mind and enhance well-being, and says it is usually considered to have few risks.

Keep a calm, curious stance. If a text says it opens “higher realms”, treat that as the author’s account of experience. Notice whether the advice encourages you to stay connected to friends, work and medical care or to withdraw from them, because the second is a warning sign.

Intense experiences can unsettle some people. If a practice leaves you anxious, low or confused for more than a short time, stop and speak with a doctor or counsellor.

Yoga in No Time at All by Joel DiGirolamo

by on Tuesday, June 26th, 2012

The techniques in Yoga in No Time at All cost nothing, take little or no time out of your busy day, and take very little energy. This is the ideal book for anyone wishing to have more time in his or her life for yoga and fitness in general.

Joel DiGirolamo began practicing yoga at age 12 when his grandfather died. It was at this time that he discovered the book Yoga and Health by Selvarajan Yesudian and Elisabeth Haich at his grandfather s house. True to the cycle of death and rebirth, the death of his grandfather gave birth to Joel s spiritual and physical awakening. At this early age he mastered yoga poses using only this book for guidance and continued practicing by himself on and off over the years. In 2005 he began an Astanga (Ashtanga) Yoga practice in a classroom setting and currently instructs beginning Astanga Yoga students. He is working on his yoga teacher training certificate and maintains a personal daily yoga practice. While working in the corporate realm much of his day, he became curious as to how he could further incorporate yoga into his daily life – and so the idea of this book was born.

Yoga’s Forgotten Foundation

by on Sunday, June 24th, 2012

A must-read for serious yoga practitioners, meditators and anyone deeply involved with transformative spiritual life, Yoga’s Forgotten Foundation delves into the integrated approach to yoga as taught by the great masters of India. It is a cogent reminder to those who want to start at the end of the spiritual path that there is an essential beginning, the neglect of which portends failure and disappointment. In 224 pages, with full-color Indian art, it explores the traditional foundation of yoga, twenty little-known guidelines on personal ethics, self-control and religious practice, called the yamas and niyamas.
The yamas and niyamas have been preserved through the centuries as the first and second stage of the eight-staged practice of yoga. They provide the essential foundation to support our yoga practice so that attainments in higher consciousness can be sustained.
The book begins with a forward by the author’s spiritual successor, Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, and takes the reader step by step through noninjury, truthfulness, nonstealing, sexual purity, patience, contentment and other facets of virtue. Grounded in a traditional Hindu point of view, yet admirably relevant to us all, the book discusses some of the toughest issues and challenges of modern life, including promiscuity, domestic abuse, child-rearing, overeating, gambling, vegetarianism, violence, injustice and pornography—relating them all to progress on the yoga path. It also explores the essential practices, including charity, worship, chanting mantras, austerity and scriptural study. 224 pages, full color.

Summary based on the book description on Amazon.

What should I know about breathing practices before reading?

Breath control is central to many yoga systems. Slow, deep breathing is among the relaxation techniques the NCCIH page on relaxation techniques describes, and it is easy to try: breathe in slowly through the nose, let the belly rise, and breathe out for longer than you breathe in.

More forceful or complex breathing methods carry more risk. The NCCIH guidance on yoga advises beginners to avoid extreme practices, including forceful breathing, and to learn with a qualified instructor. Feeling dizzy, tingling or panicky are signs to stop and breathe normally.

People with asthma, heart or lung disease, high blood pressure or pregnancy should talk to their doctor before trying new breathing exercises. A reconstruction of an old method is interesting to read about, but it needs supervised learning.
