by Swami Saradanda. Breathing is the most fundamental of our bodys processes, yet most of us give it little thought in our daily lives. Once harnessed, however, the power of our breath is unlimitedenhancing self-confidence, sharpening our ability to focus, easing anxiety and stress, and helping to relieve pain. In The Power of Breath, renowned yoga teacher Swami Saradananda guides us in the art of breathing, explaining the connection between the breath and the subtle body, and offering advice on preparing for the breathing exercises. Swami Saradananda then leads you through the five types of breath you may feel drawn to explore, with over 30 life-enriching exercises explained and beautifully illustrated for maximum clarity. A final section of smaller breathing programs will help you target common issues, such as asthma, skin disorders, depression and phobias, as well as harnessing your breath to enhance vocal, dramatic or sports performance. If you want to be in control of your life, the key is to gain control of your prana. And if you want to control your prana, the best place to begin is by controlling your breath, because your breath is the most tangible manifestation of your prana.Swami Saradananda This is a 159 page softcover book. |

| Reflexology Manual | |

Reflexology harnesses the body's healing energy by stimulating specific pressure points on the hands and feet, alleviating the energy blocks that can cause pain or disability and restoring optimum health. In The Reflexology Manual, the practical text guides the reader in mastering these self-help techniques, and color photographs illustrate a full reflexology treatment step by step. Softcover, 144 pgs. 150 color photos and illus. |

| Secret Power of Tantrik Breathing | |
 |
by Swami Sivapriyananda. There is an intimate relationship between breathing and our emotional state. When we are nervous or excited, our breath rate increases. Conversely, if we alter our rate of breathing, we can alter our emotional state. The ancient civilization of India developed methods for changing the emotions and states of consciousness through yogic meditation and pranayama (breath control). Secret Power of Tantrik Breathing teaches the advanced pranayama system of svardaya, which is based on the fact that we normally breathe freely through only one nostril at a time. In a healthy person, breathing changes roughly every 90 minutes from one nostril to the other, with each nostril imparting different qualities to one`s mental and physical state. Breath passing through the left nostril is cool, soothing, passive, and feminine in nature; right-nostril breath si warm, energizing, active, and masculine. When the breath remains in one nostril for longer than normal, mental and physical illness can result. The goal of svarodaya is to harmonize the breath from each nostril with the life task needing to be accomplished. This book explains how to practice this breath control and how the vital energy of breath interacts with the chakras and energy channels (nadis) to create overall balance and harmony. It alson includes svarodaya breathing techniques to help overcome illnesses, infertility, and bad luck; make predictions; and attain liberation from the cycle of rebirth. |

| Spiritual Foundations of Aikido | |
 |
by William Gleason. Morihei Ueshiba, who founded Aikido early in this century, intended that his martial art would give form to profound spiritual truth, and lead to a unification of the world's peoples. He saw Aikido not as a fighting method or as a competitive sport but rather as a means of becoming one with the laws of universal order--ki, or life energy. Unfortunately, the subtleties of Ueshiba's teachings, veiled in the esoteric terminology of Shinto, can be puzzling for even the most advanced practitioners. They are not passed down today, and have never been introduced to the West. Gleason, a fifth-degree (Godan) black belt in Aikido, recognizing the importance of the spiritual aspects of the discipline, researched its roots in Shinto, and in this book is able to offer a clear explanation of Ueshiba's teachings. Unlike the common "how-to" manuals on basic technique, this is the first book to introduce the underlying spiritual principles of Aikido--the elusive concept of kototama (word souls), expressed as one spirit, four souls, three origins, and eight powers--and how they relate to the forms. Teaches the student how to use Aikido to accomplish spiritual goals. Reveals little-known teachings of Shinto and Aikido, relating them to Buddhism, Christianity, and other spiritual teachings. Quality Paperback, 216 pgs, 180 b/w photographs. |
