Kundalini Yoga for Wst

This book is true to its ancient origins, yet accessible to the sincere Western aspirant. Swami Radha's 'Kundalini for the West,' provides yogic exercises to access the ancient evolutionary cakra system of Kundalini. Kundalini yoga in western culture has grown to mean many things. In 'Kundalini for the West,' Swami Radha provides layers of access to work with each cakra. Each cakra is given its own series of practices: mantra, breath practices, and questions of self-reflection/life reflection, which are used to glean insight into one's inner life. There is no limit to the experiential possibilities offered through the practices detailed in this book.

Kundalini Yoga for the West is one of the most practical and comprehensive books on Kundalini that I have come across. Swami Sivananda Radha studied with Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, India in the 50's and was initiated by him into the sacred order of Sanyas. She returned to Canada, studied and practiced Kundalini Yoga for many years, and tirelessly explored the extensive texts of Sir John Woodroffe (Arthur Avalon). What i liked about this book is that it goes beyond an english translation of ancient texts, it actually gives tools, exercises and practices to explore and expand your mind that are based on Swami Radha's personal experience. It's not just theoretical. I have been through this book many times, and know that it will continue to give me insights for years to come. It's a guide, a map, a companion.

Have you ever wondered how to make sense of your own life? Ever been in so much pain that you did not think you could bear it? Ever had a nagging feeling that there had to be more?

Between its covers, you will find exercises, practices, and questions that, when approached with sincerity, will launch you onto your person path of passion to inner and outer fulfillment. This text is like a light house that has the power to lift you out of your darkest nightmares into a sweetness never before imagined. Truly the sky is the limit!Recently I was asked, If I was left alone on a deserted island and could only take one book with me, what book would that be? Undoubtly, Kundalini Yoga for the West would be it! But please, don't take my word for it - best to find out for yourself!

It is a book full of wisdom and asks for our courage and our commitment to our personal growth. Swami Radha provides us with an excellent bridge through which we can bridge the ancient Teachings to our western thoughts and life styles. In working with the book I have learnt about who I am and what is the purpose of my life. She requires us to be honest and requires us to empower ourselves as we meet ourselves and as we recognize the divine that is within us. It is a book that has been a key to understanding my life and my daily lessons. I highly recommend it to any one who is interested in growing into their full clear potential...
