This book was released on 2022-06-11T22:59:00Z with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The practice of yoga provides many physical benefits, but its core is the integration of all the layers of life. It is a science of balanced living, a path for realizing full human potential. #2 The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga program will raise your level of physical vitality, clear emotional blockages from your heart, and awaken your joyfulness and enthusiasm for life. #3 The Western scientific model of a person is primarily physical, and it focuses on the material aspect of life. However, this approach can be extremely effective in the short term relief of symptoms. It rarely promotes a deeper understanding of life, and the side effects of medications are often limiting. #4 The game of hide-and-seek that spirit plays with us is the process of uncovering the layers that mask our essential unbounded nature. These layers are called koshas, and they are divided into three primary divisions: a physical body, a subtle body, and a causal body.

Download or read book The Hidden Teaching Beyond Yoga written by Paul Brunton and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by his time spent with wise sages in Asia in the 1930s, Paul Brunton (1898-1981) wrote The Hidden Teaching Beyond Yoga (and its companion volume The Wisdom of the Overself) at the request of these remarkable teachers, who recognized that he had a significant role to play in the transmission of Hindu Vedanta and Buddhism to the West. Brunton's books are a profound re-creation of the teachings of those two philosophical schools of thought, informed by the insights of deep meditation. Clearly written without the specialized vocabulary found in those traditions, the books speak directly to the contemporary spiritual seeker. The Hidden Teaching Beyond Yoga is a step-by-step guide to actually experiencing the spiritual truth that reality is formed within our consciousness rather than outside us in the world of material things. Brunton's expert analysis of perception, grounded in science, is designed to awaken us to our sacred foundation and to transform our personality into a mirror of that reality. Brunton prepares us for this journey by describing the attitudes, mental disciplines, and character traits that are beneficial for success in this quest. This new edition has been updated to incorporate the author's final revisions and includes an introduction by the Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation.
