ACTIVE MEDITATION
The Western Tradition
Robert R. Leichtman & Carl Japikse

ACTIVE MEDITATION: THE WESTERN TRADITION is a comprehensive examination of the tradition purpose potential and techniques of meditation. It is also a masterful statement of the emerging Western tradition of spiritual growth. It is a book which challenges inspires enlightens and informs. There are two major elements in human consciousness : the personality which we use in daily self-expression and the higher self which most of us largely ignore. The price we pay for ignoring this higher self however can be an enormous one. It means we live without enlightenment love and strength. Meditation is a set of practices which helps us bring the life and power of the higher self into expression in the daily activities of the personality. The regular use of meditation enriches consciousness illumines the mind increases self-discipline stimulates creativity and integrates the personality with the higher self. From the beginning to end the tone set by the authors emphasises the practical nature of meditation. To them the subjects of meditation and personal growth are inseparable - the work of meditation should always be connected with the development of a greater capacity to act wisely and creatively in the physical plane.

ANCIENT WISDOM £6.99
ANCIENT WISDOM
Following the Yoga of the Heart
Jenny Beeken

The asanas or postures of yoga have been found so beneficial as to make yoga virtually mainstream in British and American culture. Yet traditionally they are just one part of a much larger scheme of teaching leading the consciousness of the bliss of non-separateness. Yoga after all means union. Jenny Beeken is an internationally-known yoga teacher with a particular sensitivity and intuition. For her the 'Eight Limbs' as the philosophy of yoga is known offer the perfect path as well as one of the oldest on the planet. They instruct the student in meditation and they offer an ethical system based on ideas such as non-possessiveness living with enthusiasm self-study and contentment. Jenny compares the ancient wisdom of yoga with that of modern spiritual teachers and finds remarkable similarities as well as relevance for today. This is a book that will deepen the understanding of any yoga student and be a useful introduction for anyone who wishes to see yoga in its wider context.

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANY BODY YOGA £12.99
ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANY BODY YOGA
A Practical Guide to Using Yoga in Everyday Life
Emily Slonina

If you think yoga is only for the young, fit and flexible or that it requires lots of time and money for classes, think again! Yoga was never meant to be intimidating, exclusive or a fashion trend. Yoga has endured for five thousand years because everyone – no matter what their age or condition – can practise it. Each of us can experience its benefits for body, mind and spirit. These benefits include: stronger bones, fewer injuries, increased flexibility, decreased stress, stabilised blood pressure, pain relief, improved balance and graceful ageing.

In this get-you-going guide, gentle teacher, Emily Slonina, shares simple exercises and ideas that you can incorporate into your daily life right away while sitting in a chair, lying on a bed, working at the office, travelling or doing housework.

Photos of regular people – not advanced students or masters – show you how to modify poses as needed. Like many of us, some of these models have health issues such as chronic pain, heart disease, scoliosis, arthritis or fibromyalgia. That's okay, because yoga is not a “no-pain no-gain” exercise or a competitive sport. Modified poses and chair yoga offer all the benefits that traditional poses do. With that in mind, Slonina shows you how to: breathe for ease, listen to and work with your body, warm-up and de-stress, enjoy and modify classic poses, experience meditation and relaxation whenever, wherever.

With yoga, a few minutes here and a few there add up. And because yoga is designed to help us develop balance and awareness, chances are that as you become more flexible in your body, you'll find your mind and spirit become more calm and resilient too.
