Pages : 330
Book Description
YOGA AND YOGIC POWERS is the first book of its kind ever written on Yoga that provides such penetrating insight into the thinking, life and powers of the Hindu Yogis. It also tells the readers unknown facts about themselves which they must know, if they wish to remedy the cause of their physical, mental and emotional problems. The book is so profusely illustrated with examples, experiences and guidance from the author's own life, that the reader will not only find it a deep facinating study of the mind and its powers, but also a warm inspiring story of one of the great Yogis of India, who taught in the United States from 1954 to 2009. Yogi Gupta was the president of the Kailashananda Mission, in Rishikesh, India, whose principal aim is to promote greater friendship between the two great democracies - The Republic of the United States of America and The Republic of India. The author reveals the innermost thoughts of millions of Hindus, their way of life, and their mystic experiences, and by broadening and deepening the reader's understanding of them he thus prepares a fertile ground for greater friendship between the two great nations. Avoiding the dry scholarly approach to his subject, Yogi Gupta explains and shows in an impressively simple yet scientific way, how an average person today may utilize the principles of developing and releasing powers of the mind for more successful and harmonious living. This science of Mental Culture (Yogic Powers), which was practiced and perfected and taught by the ancient Yogis in India 6,000 years ago, is vividly expounded in such chapters as: The Miracles of the Mind, Psychic Anesthesia, Saints with Psychic Powers, Mind's and Soul's Life in Space, Your Guardian Angel, Impulsive Urge For Wrong Doing, Fame and Fortune by Psychic Means, Protective Aura against Psychic Attack, Supersensory Perception, The Materialization of Masters at Will and Their Controlling the World's Destiny, plus a Two Month Course in Psychic Phenomena and a Two Year Course in Divine Perception - with full page photographs of the author. The author was the director of the Yogi Gupta New York Center, where he held regular lectures, classes and offered personal guidance to his disciples on he Path, to facilitate the comprehension and practice of these teachings in the West. This second edition has been completely re-typeset and re-indexed

A Queer Dharma
Author: Jacoby Ballard
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1623176522
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Queer critique, queer practice: embodied teachings for healing from trauma and social injustice. Jacoby Ballard provides an empowering and affirming guide to embodied healing through yoga and the dharma, grounded in the brilliance, resilience, and lived experiences of queer folks. Part I deconstructs the ways mainstream yoga perpetuates queer- and transphobia and other systemic oppressions, exploring the intersections of yoga, capitalism, cultural appropriation, and sexual violence. Ballard also addresses the trauma--complex, vicarious, historical, and collective--perpetuated against queer communities. In response, he offers tools for self-compassion, tonglen, lovingkindness, and grounding, and helps readers explore questions like: What is trauma? How is it a product of injustice--and how can healing it create justice? The world won't stop being homo- and transphobic, so how do I encounter that in a way that does the least harm? How do we love what is uniquely trans about us? What are affinity groups, and why do we need them? In part II, Ballard offers a queer-centered, fully embodied, and equity-rooted practice with meditations, practices, and sequences for processing and healing from trauma individually and in community. He explains concepts like lovingkindness, letting go, compassion, joy, forgiveness, and equanimity through a queer lens, and pairs each with corresponding meditations, practices, and beautiful line drawings of queer bodies. Enhanced with stories from Ballard's personal practice and professional experience teaching yoga in schools, prisons, conferences, and his weekly Queer and Trans Yoga class, A Queer Dharma is a guidebook, reclamation, and unapologetically queer heart offering for true healing and transformation.

Jivamukti Yoga
Author: Sharon Gannon
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307486648
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
The long-awaited, complete guide to the popular, vigorous American method of yoga that is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom and scriptures “In this day and age of health and fitness trends, it is assuring to know that Sharon and David encourage their students to draw inspiration from the classical texts of Yoga and timeless scriptural sources. ”—Sri Swami Satchidananda Creators of the extremely popular Jivamukti Yoga method and cofounders of the New York City studios where it is taught, Sharon Gannon and David Life present their unique style of yoga for the first time in book form. As they explain their intensely physical and spiritual system of flowing postures, they provide inspiring expert instruction to guide you in your practice. Unlike many books about yoga, Jivamukti Yoga focuses not only on the physical postures but also on how they evolved—the origins of the practices in yoga’s ancient sacred texts and five-thousand-year-old traditions—the psychotherapeutic benefits that accrue with a steady practice, and the spiritual power that is set free when energy flows throughout the mind and body. Jivamukti Yoga, which means “soul liberation,” guides your body and soul into spiritual freedom, physical strength, peace of mind, better health, and Self-realization–the ultimate goal of any practice. Gannon and Life help you understand each of the practices that comprise the yoga path to enlightenment: AHIMSA–The Way of Compassion: choosing nonviolence, respecting all life, practicing vegetarianism, living free of prejudice ASANA–The Way of Connection to the Earth: postures and sequences, breathing, transforming energy, understanding the bandhas KARMA–The Way of Action: creating good karma, giving thanks NADAM–The Way of Sacred Music: appreciating the sacred sounds of yoga MEDITATION–The Way of the Witness: how to sit still and move inward BHAKTI–The Way of Devotion to God: living with love, grace, and peace Whatever yoga you practice, Jivamukti Yoga will help you to strengthen and deepen that practice and lead you onto a path of spiritual clarity and self-discovery. “If there is only one book you read about the practice of Yoga, this should be the one. . . . This book is for anyone who wishes to find transformation through Yoga. I’m grateful for their work and teaching.”—Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, Co-founder & CEO, Omega Institute
