Im a beginnerOctober 7, 2008 This book was very detailed and also very difficult for a beginner like myself to follow.
solid book practice routinesSeptember 11, 2008 Put together in a logical, progressive order- and I've found the exercise routine sound. A book about doing, not a book about theory: a good book.
Precise and the pointMay 23, 2008 Dr. John Mumford manages to give clear techniques for both advanced and beginner students in this book. With his backround knowledge in psychology he introduces yoga and its philosophy to a westerner like never before. I think that the book is under-rated here. However, importance lies down in actual practice and a serious student can see progress when he applies 12 week program. I recommend it to anyone who is a practitioner not a collector.
I liked itMarch 20, 2008 It has some very easy to work exercises and good info within it. Not perfect by a long shot but it deserves a read or two because Dr. Mumford is very clear in his writings. Goes well with his tattwa card boxed set and would make an excellent addition to Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics book.
Relaxation is key to all life's problemsNovember 13, 2006 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Why five stars? Simple. This book is simple. It is straight foward, easy to use, and safe. Why, after all that has been said, do I claim this book is safe? There is only one chapter on kundalini activation, and it is only in an indirect fashion, that activation occurs. The book focusses on sitting and relaxation techniques. The emphasis is on attentive awareness, cultivated to the point of concentration. There are no techniques in the entire book which would produce any explosive psychic reactions. Taking the alarmist position can be remedied with a perview of antero alli's angel tech, the article on kundalini crackups is particularly enlightening. The main exercise involving the kundalini is the solar plexus charging technique, by which the practitioner concentrates on an internally generated heat until absorbsion of the bodymind process saturates awareness with heat. This experience of laya is an indirect experience of the kundalini energy, centered in the manipura chakra, the center of balance and equilibrium. I suggest starting with chapter one, use the chakra meditation from magical tattwas, or the suhum gayatri from death and dying. Do it fourteen days before moving on. You don't need them to achieve progress however, remember the technique is the goal. Achieving relaxation and self-mastery are in fact noble goals we should all hope to attain in our lifetime, I believe.
