Yoga Folks discussion

Hi!

Just wanted to pass along that Warrior Pose: How Yoga (Literally) Saved My Life is a Kindle Daily Deal, $1.99.

Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A...

Thanks, Nikki. I downloaded the memoir and started reading it and it's really great. I can't seem to put it down. A fabulous story (about a guy near death who discovers yoga) that's actually well-written too. I think all his travel-the-world exploits could have been condensed some, but otherwise it's a book I'd highly recommend.

Nikki, thank you!

Murder Strikes a Pose (A Downward Dog Mystersy) is $1.99 right now on Amazon: I'm a few chapters into it, and it's cute so far - a quick, light read.

Hi:

My yoga/spiritual women's novel, DOWNWARD DOG, UPWARD FOG--chick lit meets spiritual striving--is $0.99 on Kindle till Sunday, November 2. (Regularly $3.99.)

Downward Dog, Upward Fog was recommended by Yoga Journal and was called "an inspirational gem that will appeal to spiritually seeking women" by Foreword magazine.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Namaste!

Thanks Meryl. I just bought it!

Wonderful!... So I'm thinking: if we all take advantage of this great deal, and everybody on the list just sent you the $3 we save... we'd all be better for it.

(Wait... do I HAVE to have a kindle to get a kindle book?)

Stephanie:

You're so funny. The $3 is for you to buy a latte today.

You don't end a kindle. You can download the kindle app on an iPad or smart phone.

FYI, the style of the book is chick lit, a style I chose to keep the spiritual message from sounding pedantic. If you hate chick lit, however, this book is not for you.

Ah, Meryl, fear not! I always thought "chick lit" would be something akin to, I don't know, Harlequin or somesuch... (what a librarian friend of mine, BTW, told me are referred to by those in the know as "bodice busters" :-)), until I read something by Jennifer Somebody that DELIGHTED me... and I was later told she's like total "chick lit"! What??! (Oh my.) So I shall look forward to reading your book, and heck!, a latte to go with it! Life IS GOOD.

Thanks, Helen and Stephanie! Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Halloween, all!

Tiny Buddha is currently $0.99 on amazon. I think its just little cute snippets of questions or thoughts that make you think?

I'm not too familiar with the twitter account it's associated with.

Thanks, Niki.

Tiny Buddha is a blog, filled with heartfelt, wonderful posts. I'm guessing the book springs from that. Should be a good read.

I wanted to share this excerpt on reincarnation.

The reincarnation of the Prophet Elijah. —An excerpt from "May a Christian Believe in Reincarnation?", an ebook available for FREE for two more days at Amazon. http://amzn.com/B00OM8A4NE

"I cannot resist giving one more Biblical instance–bridging both the Old and the New Testaments–of how the human drama can be played out over the “acts” of several births on the stage of this world. (This example, by the way, was pointed out to me by Bess Hibarger, a Presbyterian Sunday School teacher of long standing and great popularity, who at least once a year devoted one Sunday to the subject of reincarnation.)

"Ahab, the king of Israel, married Jezebel, who was a Gentile and an idolater. For these reasons, Elijah the prophet came to Ahab and challenged him, demanding that he rid himself of Jezebel. As could be expected, Jezebel decided that either Elijah or she had to go–and she preferred that it be Elijah. Though she had squadrons of soldiers searching for the prophet to kill him, he managed to elude them, and departed from this world still in hiding. Later, Jezebel died, but with the desire for the death of Elijah burning in her heart. Thus was the sowing; then came the reaping.

"As Jesus said, Elijah was born again as John the Baptist. Ahab was reborn as Herod, and Jezebel as Herodias, the wife of Herod’s brother. Herod broke the Law by marrying Herodias illegally, thus committing the double crime of adultery and incest. Just as in the previous lifetime, John came to Herod and demanded that he get rid of Herodias. Herod had respect for John, and so tried to simply ignore him. Finally, at the insistence of Herodias he imprisoned John, and ultimately Herodias got John’s head on a platter, fulfilling her desire of centuries."

—Abbot George Burke

Michelle, thanks for letting us know (as always!).

That is indeed an excellent book so I'm glad it's now on kindle. I highly recommend it to our members, which I don't say often, even though many yoga-related books cross my path.
