Kundalini Yoga: A Simple Guide to the Yoga of Awareness is an
introduction to living your life with more awareness and spirituality,
as well as a guide to the principles of this form of yoga as taught by
Yogi Bhajan, the author's teacher. Kundalini yoga includes habits and practices
that "balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, and
enable us to harness the energy of the mind and the emotions," explains
the author. She clearly explains many facets of this kundalini lifestyle:
breathing (including breathing exercises), spirituality, food choices and
preparation, chants and meditations, the chakras (energy centers in the
body), self-healing, sleep, communication, and using yoga postures for
health. This is not an exercise book of yoga postures--although several
are illustrated--but a guidebook toward a more spiritual path. "Spirituality
cannot be taught. It has to be caught, you have to get it from someone
who's got it." The book describes the path to a more spiritual life using
kundalini yoga philosophy and practice. You don't have to move to a cave
to adopt these practices--the author shows you how you can use them to
balance even a busy, modern lifestyle. -- Joan Price
Book Description
Taught for thousands of years--and revealed to the West in recent decades
by the master Yogi Bhajan--Kundalini Yoga is suprisingly simple to learn.
And practiced regularly, it can strengthen the nervous system, balance
the glandular system, and harness the energy of the mind and emotion as
well as the body. While general yoga technique focuses on exercise postures
and breathing, Kundalini takes yoga concepts a step further by integrating
them into everyday life activities. This definitive guide, fully illustrated
with photographs, is an accessible introduction to this ancient practice,
with information on poses and positions, diet and lifestyle, breathing
and stretching techniques, chanting and meditation exercises, and general
guidelines that can help anyone--beginner or advanced--gain the greatest
benefit from yogic practice.
