Charles Bates
Draws parallels between modern and ancient systems of personal transformation. The methods Bates offers are some of those by which the sages of old ransomed the mind from the darkness of ignorance and dysfunction, turning it towards its next stage of development, the realisation of transcendent self. "His application of yoga to traditional therapy supports the increasing trends of such pivotal mind/body integration educators as Stanley Keleman, Ilana Rubenfeld and Swami Rama." "Provides a comprehensive answer to the fatal flaw of modern therapy - narrow specialism. Rather than treating people as if they were comprised of independent and isolated parts, he gives a truly holistic approach, integrating all levels of human functioning.

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.

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.
