It was written with the intention to provide clear insights into the mystical and complex teachings of Raja Yoga, the path dedicated to transcending the mind.
When we explore the nature of thoughts and the workings of the mind, we become empowered in directing our lives down the road best suited for our inner development. We then can experience life beyond our triggers and act from a place of oneness, understanding what's behind our mental chatter.
Each chapter presents classical information in two distinct ways: 1. a fictional story of a woman trying to summit a great mountain parallels the "limb" of Raja Yoga dedicated to that chapter, 2. yoga philosophy theory related to the eight limbs of Raja Yoga.
The book also contains hatha yoga and meditation practices as well as personal contemplations that help you dive deeper into your Self.
It is a wonderful book for yoga aspirants seeking to dive deeper into yoga's ancient philosophy. It has been used as a study guide for yoga practitioners + teachers, teacher training courses, and spiritual book clubs around the globe.
