Download or read book Yoga written by Deepak Kashyap and published by Global Collective Publishers. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the forgotten art and science of healing: retrieved and reaped in easy steps. Equally, it is an attempt at interpreting the ancient Upanishadic wisdom through the author’s insight: showing the essential oneness of spirituality with the mind-body matrix. Layers of wisdom unravel as the author unfolds the science of Yoga: dispelling myths while reinforcing the Truth. Touching upon subjects of contemporary interest - Cosmic Energy, Reiki, Karma, Kundalini, Yoga, Health etc. - the book has a universal appeal. Of particular interest to the scientifically-inclined is the author’s juxtaposing of scriptural wisdom of the East with the West’s path-breaking findings in Quantum Physics, Probabilistic nature of the Universe, Psychoneuroimmunology and Parapsychology. That the author throws light on these esoteric matters through the prism of his spiritual experiences, lends the whole narrative a kind of authenticity not common in books of this genre. The highlight of the book is its ability to touch the yoga-inclined masses in their daily life and facilitate their ‘three-dimensional’ healing through easy-to-make forays in diet control, asana-pranayama, alternative therapy, meditation and karmic remedies.

Download or read book Fingers and Moons written by Trevor Leggett and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The well-known Zen Buddhist phrase 'the finger pointing at the moon' refers to the means and the end, and the possibility of mistaking one for the other. Trevor Leggett says, 'the forms are the methods and they are very important as pointing fingers, but if we forget what they are for and they become, so to speak, the goal in their own right, then our progress is liable to stop. And if it stops, it retrogresses.' On the other hand there are those who say 'with considerable pride, "I don't want fingers or methods. I want to see the moon directly, directly . . . to see the moon directly . . . no methods or pointing." But in fact they don't see it! It's easy to say.'With many varied analogies, stories and incidents, Trevor Leggett points to the truth behind words, behind explanations and methods. Indeed, the book itself is like 'a finger pointing at the moon'.

Download or read book Encounters in Yoga and Zen written by Trevor Leggett and published by TLAYT. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected by the author over many years, these stories from the Yoga and Zen traditions are the flint and steel that strike a spark that lights up the mind with insights that one should ponder daily to bring to light ever deeper meaning. They may be similar in intent to Zen Koans – but they are rather different in content. In many Zen Koans someone says or does something extraordinarily inappropriate, which catches your attention just because it's extraordinary –but afterwards the light from them has to be applied to daily life. In contrast, the stories here are often ordinary incidents from ordinary lives (not that there aren't some extraordinary ones too!) that nevertheless open the mind's eye to the vast potential for realization and inspiration to be found in daily life. The pictures featured throughout this book were brushed by Jacques Allais in the Suiboku style, in which he was an acknowledged expert. The innate beauty of this ancient monochrome ink-painting technique lies in its subtlety of expression, in which infinitely more is suggested than is drawn on the page – making it the perfect vehicle for focusing meditation practice as well as an ideal complement to the stories in this book.

Download or read book THE SCIENCE OF YOGA MUDRAS written by K. Rangaraja Iyengar and published by Sapna Book House (P) Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga is flying across the shores of Bharatha all over the world like an eagle. The entire humanity needs yoga today. If going after Yoga to get rid of diseases is one dimension, using Yoga to make our body healthy so that we can enjoy material pleasures is the other dimension. This was not what those great Rshis who evolved Yoga had in mind. Yoga is another name for pure living. If man lives, being aware of the purpose for which he was created, what else can it be excepted in Yoga? Human body is a temple. In a larger sense, it is the dwelling place of gods. Whatever one finds in the world is present in the human body. We have 72,000 Nerves in the body, also we have 72,000 Nadies which are subtle channels and centres of energy. We get a detailed account of these in books on Hatayoga. In this background Mudras and Bandhas occupy a place of great significance. We have a considerably difficult challenge to convert this Annamaya body into one, the object of which is Dharma Sadhana. Kalidasa has announced, "Shareeramadyam khalu dharma sadhanam". Our sages have said, "Manaeva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoho" Our mind is the cause of both Bandha and Moksha. In that case how can we make use of the techniques available to us to the best of our advantage? "Mudras" help us to keep our body and mind pure and chaste. They are tools to lead us to life fulfilment. When we activate the nerve and nadi centres in the body, they make the flow of energy smooth. Our body is a fantastic machine designed by the Creator. He has set in it a super computer called the 'Brain'. All the activities in our body are controlled by the Mind. The pressure exerted on certain key points in the body and in hands, energises the centres in the brain. We have come to know this truth as a result of experiments conducted in different parts of the world. Acupressure specialists assert that if we activate certain points in the legs, hands and ears, we can ward off a number of disorders of the body. In our ancient Tantra Marga we hear about "Khechari Mudra". During five thousand years after sage Vedavyasa, our ancestors have devised a number of ways to help man keep himself fit. They are simple and workable. We get a sea of information about Mudra Science in a number of books on Yoga shastra and Tantra Shastra. In a few of our epics also, we get references to these Mudras.
