Rishikesh Meditations: A Guide for the Study of Hatha and Raja Yoga Meditation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781093506228)

Rishikesh Meditations is an in-depth, practical, and easy to read guide for the study of Hatha and Raja Yoga. This textbook gives the person searching for information on Meditation a resource filled with a history of Yoga, the theories which support Yoga, and a practical guide for performing: Pranayamas (Breathing), Asanas (Seated Postures), Mudras (Hand Gestures), Shatkarmas (Purification techniques), Mitahara (Nutrition), Bandhas (Energy locks), and finally, a wide assortment of Meditations. Each of the Meditations comes with an explanation and easy to follow directions for performing each one, plus there are sample sessions provided to give the beginner an easy to follow outline for any of the 21 Meditations shown in the practical section. If you are like me and hungered to know more about Meditation, but didn't know where to begin, then Rishikesh Meditations will provide a great starting point for your journey to becoming adept at meditating. I am a graduate of the Shree Mahesh Heritage School of Meditation located in Tapovan, Rishikesh, India known as the birthplace of Yoga. I am qualified to hold individual, or group sessions of Meditations and can certify anyone to become a 300 hour Meditation Instructor. Also, as a Tenured Professor of English, I am well aware of what it takes to create an easy to read, yet still comprehensive guide for learning any course of instruction. Not everyone can journey across the world to India to study Meditation like I did, but now you don't have to. In the pages of Rishikesh Meditations you will be able to practice and become a successful Meditator who enjoys a life of peace and joy. With Meditation you can live today, in the moment, and not be troubled by the problems of the past, or be worried about an uncertain future. Meditation has helped me to "let go," and enjoy today. I truly believe Rishikesh Meditations can help you do the same. Read about Mindfulness and how living in the moment is possible Learn about Trataka and how Candle Meditation can increase the 3rd Eye Chakra (seat of intuition and psychic powers). Or, begin Yoga Nidra Meditation (Psychic Sleep) and see how magical it can be to find that part of you that lies beyond consciousness and unconsciousness. It's all here in Rishikesh Meditations complete with pictures, illustrations, charts, and directions making this a visual guide for any beginner. I realize there are videos out there on Meditation, but if you're like me, then you need to know the what and why, as well has the how. In this textbook, Rishikesh Meditations you'll learn all of it. Peace and joy are fleeting for many of us, but it doesn't have to be like that. Meditation saved my life and I truly believe it can do the same for everyone who struggles with doubts, fears, anxiety, and stress. Meditation is about connecting with that part of you that is above all the pettiness the world provides, and who finds joy in each and every day. Namaste my friends and my sincerest wish for you is that you be happy today
