The first time Yogi led me in meditation, tears of joy poured from my eyes. Let this great sage take you on a journey within. He is a true master of his art.' Kyle Gray, Bestselling Author of Angel Prayers and The Angel Whisperer The Power of Relaxation describes Yogi Ashokananda’s unique, down-to-earth approach to meditation and relaxation – one with strong connections to ancient Indian traditions but also fully adapted to the demands of modern Western living. Using evidence from medical and scientific research as well as the ancient wisdom of tantra, Yogi explains the importance of relaxation in accessing the energy hidden within our body and ultimately in finding our true self. Yogi’s method starts by focusing on the body, rather than on the mind, as the centre of meditation, as his emphasis is on embracing both our human side and our higher self. Challenging the body physically and focusing attention on the lower chakras allows us to bridge the gap between our material and spiritual selves, to heal any conflicts arising from living in today’s society and to explore all aspects of our personality. The link between the body and the emotions is scientifically well-established, and the exchange and union between the body and mind that takes place in Yogi’s meditations is particularly effective for relaxation. By using breath control and simple arm movements to channel and direct energy flow, Yogi also demonstrates how to create perfect balance in the body and rid it of samskaras, our emotional scars, which can make us lethargic, depressed and anxious. Yogi's many clients have reported a range of benefits from his techniques: improved physical health, of the digestive system for example; increased self-awareness, vitality, clarity, calm, balance and harmony; and a sense of emotional and spiritual renewal and personal transformation.
