The Tao of Books DVD

Paul Grilley

This comprehensive DVD includes nearly 4 hours of in-depth lectures and demonstrations of human anatomy as it relates to Yoga practice. Paul's material is divided into seven successive chapters starting with an overview of anatomical concepts and delving deep into each of the major joints of the body. Using a wide range of normal yoga students, a real skeleton and computer-generated models, Paul thoroughly demonstrates the fundamental differences between compressive and tensile stresses within a pose, and how each one must be addressed differently to get the most from any form of yoga practice. "Teachers, serious students, and anyone running a teacher training program worth its salt will want a copy of this DVD." - Richard Rosen, Yoga Journal.

The focus is on comparative anatomy: understanding the underlying skeletal structure of the body, how the bones differ significantly from person to person, and how to use that knowledge in gaining a much deeper understanding of our individual practices. A wide range of students are presented in the DVD to illustrate the natural differences found in every single body, and how poses will never look the same on two different people. 3D computer animations show examples of the human skeleton at a deep level, and anatomical illustrations give names and relationships of the bones. This unique window inside the body, compared and contrasted with close examination of the students in the class, sheds a tremendous light upon a poorly understood aspect of yoga: how the bones affect the poses.

CHAKRA THEORY & MEDITATION Ref: DX1024

Paul Grilley

Chakras are subtle centers in the brain and spine that regulate the physical, emotional and psychic flows of energy through the body. The fundamental premise of Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga and Taoism is that these energies need to be brought into the yogi’s awareness and control if the mind is to be calmed and the authentic Self revealed. This groundbreaking DVD outlines the basic anatomy of this essential energy system and its operations in the physical, astral, and causal bodies. The unique characteristics of each chakra are described in four specific dimensions: physical location, organs they control, emotions they express, and mental characteristics they embody. These ideas give strong theoretical support and general guidance for those who wonder how and why chakra meditation should be done. Along with nearly 4 hours of in-depth theoretical presentation of these concepts, Paul offers specific physical and energetic practices to develop awareness of the chakras, and describes the karma that is associated with each one. This is followed by meditation techniques that aspiring yogis may use to purify the karma that operates through each chakra, achieving a deeper understanding and appreciation for the powerful role these elements play in our lives.

THE ILLUMINATED CHAKRAS Ref: DX1018

Anodea Judith

"The chakra system, based on the body’s seven energy centres, represents the full spectrum of human possibility," teaches Anodea Judith. This vital network of subtle energy, described by mystics and yogis for millennia, provides a profound formula for wholeness - yet, it has remained invisible to most people. Now, with The Illuminated Chakras, the author of the perennial bestseller Wheels of Life: A User’s Guide to the Chakra System provides viewers a means to see and experience these subtle energies. This visionary half-hour voyage on DVD takes us on a multisensory journey into the beauty of the inner world, where we follow the path of Kundalini-Shakti, the mystical serpent goddess that drives the vital force that awakens consciousness within each chakra. As viewers move from base to crown, they gain an opportunity to see and hear the elemental reality of each chakra: earth, water, fire, air, sound, light, and transcendent consciousness. The Illuminated Chakras is an eye-opening meditation created by one of the West’s foremost experts on the chakras - an experience that will stimulate viewers’ energy centres and awaken new possibilities for understanding their inner spiritual dimensions. Contains two complete music soundtracks.
