Download The Mirror of Yoga: Awakening the Intelligence of Body and Mind AudioBook Free
The world of yoga is astonishingly abundant with its array of schools and procedures. Yet, as diverse as they seem to be, they share a common target: the discovery of the essence of existence that can be found at the core of the being, and the liberation that comes from that discovery. With this worthy goal at heart, Richard Freeman reveals an enlightening summary of the countless teachings, procedures, and scriptures that serve as the basis for all the schools of yoga - hatha, bhakti, jnana, karma, tantra, as well as others. He shows the way the myriad forms are ultimately related, and can even be perceived to make up a vast, interpenetrating matrix, symbolizing the unity, profundity, and beauty of the ancient custom. Richard's wide-ranging talk includes the Upanisads and Samkhya philosophies, the Yoga exercise Sutra of Patanjali, the eight limbs of astanga yoga, the procedure and reason for hatha yoga, plus much more. He also explores the role of the guru, chanting, meditation, and the yogic essential of offering service to others. All of this is applied to the genuine practice, providing the reader the tools to digest and apply the riches of information to daily life. The Mirror of Yoga exercise will be a welcome resource to all yogis who wish to better practice the profound philosophy underlying their practice.
