Discover the transformational power of Yogic meditation to help you access your innate brilliance and source of creative inspiration. While many yoga practitioners may be introduced to mindfulness or some other form of meditation in class, traditional Yogic meditation appeals to yogis who want to explore the path further and take their practice to a deeper level.
Meditation done through a traditional Yogic framework not only gives you specific tools for improving health and creating emotional balance, but also offers you an experience beyond the sense-focused mind. Here, master yogis Alan Finger and Peter Ferko offer practical guidance on using traditional Yogic meditation to access atman, your unbound intelligence, or what the authors call your innate “genius.” Realizing atman allows you to go beyond the limits of mindfulness to reach a deep source of creativity and inspiration within you—and connects you to your true purpose and direction in life.
This book is a nice dive into the practice of yoga on a meditative level and what you can get out of the mindfulness practice more so than the physical only practice.
I found his book very interesting, and will likely come back to it again in time. I think this is a nice intermediate level book for getting into the practice of meditation. It might sound a little like magic if you haven't yet come to terms with the fact that there's more out their than western medicine that works.
Finding this on Netgalley at the time I did, could not have been more perfect! I’ve been doing a 30-Day Yoga challenge with Adrienne this month so to tie in this read with my practices, has been amazing.
During this time especially, we’re all looking for ways to escape, to find calm and silence, but it’s not easy. We’re either all in the house or venture out to work but with the added stress and fear of whether or not you’ll get the virus. For my family, we’re dealing with an extra amount of stress but now is not the time to discuss that, however, it is the reason I’ve decided to step up my game when it comes to health and wellbeing.
When you’re feeling stressed or just not yourself, it’s a sign that you need to get in touch with your inner self. For most that is done in silence through breathing and meditation. Some find solace in other ways but this has always worked for me!
I invite you to get in tune with yourself again, find the peace within you, and learn how to manage stress in these trying times!
