SALUTATION TO THE SUN: A Daily Exercise for a Vital Life Ref: RED202

Rita Beintema

The Salutation to the Sun dates back to Vedic times and is therefore three to six thousand years old. The Salutation consists of a number of movements which flow into each other and together form a self-contained whole. The exercise influences every part of the body including the nervous system, the circulation and respiration. The back and the pelvis can become supple again and, in time, the joints become stronger and more flexible. The blood circulation in the abdominal cavity improves and the intestines are activated, thus eliminating constipation. Muscular stiffness in the shoulders and neck disappears.

SONGS OF THE SOUL Ref: 1899-BG

Paramahansa Yogananda

The deep yearnings for divine love and joy that are within each of us found many-faceted expression in the life of Paramahansa Yogananda - recognized as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time, and author of the acclaimed classic Autobiography of a Yogi. Songs of the Soul is an outpouring of his direct perceptions of God - God in nature, in man, in everyday experiences, and in the spiritually awakened state of samadhi meditation.

Most of these poems were written during Yogananda's early years in the United States. His writings are not the considered renderings of a poet's fancies, but a revelation of the interior expereinces of a soul ever awake in Spirit, responding to the wonders of nature; to the memories of his beloved motherland; to the deep impressions made by new friends and acquaintances; above all, to the divine realizations born of that soul's intimate communions with God.

THE TRUE PATH: Western Science & the Quest for Yoga Ref: RFD315

Roy J Mathew

This title is about how the latest brain research supports the existence of pure, consciousness and explains our most profound spiritual experiences. The transformative power of spiritual experiences is well known - drug addicts have recovered after them, and hardened criminals have reformed. But is there a scientific explanation for this phenomenon, which Indians call "yoga"? Although Eastern traditions have long pondered this mystery, Western science has tended to dismiss spiritual experiences as whimsy on the part of believers. In "The True Path", Roy J. Mathew draws on his own extensive knowledge of neuroscience to prove the age-old Indian idea that spirituality is a state of mind, a higher form of consciousness. He shows how the latest brain research supports the idea that quieting the neurons that control everyday activities allows for a more spiritual contemplation of life. As this part of the brain slows down, other parts become more freely expressed, promoting relaxation and pleasure in one's surroundings. With scientific evidence that this "pure consciousness" truly exists, Mathew shows readers how to use meditation, yoga, and other traditional Indian methods of contemplation to achieve this spiritual state of mind.

WILL YOGA & MEDITATION REALLY CHANGE MY LIFE Ref: REA431

Stephen Cope

In Will Yoga & Meditation Really Change My Life? Stephen Cope brings to the printed page the fascinating dialogue that he has fostered in these retreats. Cope asks participating teachers to share their Tales from the Path, stories of how the long-term practice of these ancient traditions has changed their lives. The result is an inspirational volume featuring 26 distinct voices telling their stories, how they became interested in these traditions, the teachers who inspired them, and how the practice of yoga and meditation has shaped their lives and perspectives. The contributors, many of whom are authors of well-known books on these topics, speak of their experiences as real people living in our complex world, complete with spouses, children, aging parents, financial demands, illnesses, injuries, and all of the ordinary aggravations of everyday life. Many of these teachers have studied and explored the practice of yoga or meditation over the course of 30 years and have been pivotal in creating retreat centers, styles of yoga, and teaching techniques that have contributed to the widespread popularity of these practices in mainstream culture.

YOGA BEATS THE BLUES: Boost Your Mood, Memory & Concentration with Easy 20-Minute Yoga Routines Ref: RWD788

Donna Raskin

Everybody feels "blue" from time to time, but when depression persists for a long time, it can suppress your energy for living.

Yoga can be a mind/body solution to some of our problems, and the exercise, coupled with correct breath patterns, centres your thoughts and can help to lift your mood. Yoga's regulating and energizing properties can help alleviate many of the symptoms of mild depression. Its exercises can help to improve circulation, sending invigorating oxygen to the brain and muscles, and stretching and strengthening movements flush toxins from the body.
