The Yoga of Truth: The Ancient Path of Silent Knowledge
by Peter MarchandA guide to Jnana Yoga--the Way of Silent Knowledge--by direct contemplation of the Unchangeable • Shows that everything in one’s body, personality, thoughts, memories, and experiences has form and is changeable and, thus, is neither essential nor eternal • Identifies the witnessing consciousness within--all that remains when the ephemeral is eliminated--as the real Self, the one and only unchanging eternal Being In The Yoga of Truth, Peter Marchand, through a series of deceptively simple introspective questions, leads the seeker into discarding everything--body, personality, thoughts, memories, experiences--that disguises the ego’s relentless masquerade as the Self. This form of contemplation, with its constant commitment to witnessing without attachment, disempowers the ego’s fixation on its products, leading instead to the realization that the witnessing consciousness is, in fact, the one immutable Being within or without--the real Self, the true You. The universal illusion rests upon space and time, body and elements, the life force, mind, intellect, ego, and Self. Jnana Yoga reveals not only the insubstantial and illusory nature of our presumptions but also our habitual commitment to the illusion of being an individual that they create. This illusion collapses like a house of cards before direct inspection. When something has form, when it can change, it cannot be the eternal with which we seek union. Witnessing consciousness stands alone as that which is without form. In The Yoga of Truth, Marchand leads us simply, and compellingly, to the truth of our nature and the peaceful bliss of true Being.

Yoga: Posturas Esenciales del Yoga para Lograr Controlar la Mente
by Jen SolisLa idea de este libro es proporcionarle posturas o ejercicios que le ayuden a obtener el control sobre la mente y a ser capaz de enfocar sus pensamientos, lo que constituye una herramienta muy poderosa. Y esto nos lleva a nuestra próxima meta, que es enseñarle acerca de la respiración y del poder que puede brindarle. La idea del yoga es lograr la iluminación y, para este fin, si puede controlar la respiración, estará encaminado hacia el control de su cuerpo, lo que a su vez le ofrece control sobre la mente. El propósito del yoga es hacer diferentes posturas corporales con aumento de dificultad, y cuanto más control ejerce sobre la mente, más fácil resulta lograr las posturas más complicadas. Y a su vez, esto nos lleva hacia la siguiente meta, que para la mayoría de las personas es el meollo de todo libro sobre yoga. Las posturas o posiciones tienen la intención de ayudar a enfocar la mente. La práctica del yoga comúnmente comienza con las más básicas, sólo con la intención de meditar o relajar la mente y el cuerpo y gradualmente cambia hacia posturas más difíciles mientras se puede mantener un estado relajado del cuerpo y de la mente. El control sobre la mente es muy importante para el yoga y para la vida diaria. Cuando tiene el poder de concentrarse, la mente puede ejercer cierta forma de control sobre un músculo que verdaderamente parece tener su propia mente. A través de la práctica del yoga, será capaz de lograr una mejor concentración y a su vez alcanzar la felicidad. Esta felicidad proviene de la iluminación, el descubrimiento del cuerpo y la habilidad para concentrarse y agudizar la mente. Analizaremos cómo este control es importante para el yoga y puede trasladarse a otros aspectos de la vida en la última sección de este libro. El yoga se aprende, es algo que se puede enseñar y algo que puede ser muy beneficioso para aquellos que se sienten atormentados o desenfocados en la vida. Una vez que s

Yoga Wisdom at Work: Finding Sanity Off the Mat and On the Job
by Maren Showkeir Jamie ShowkeirYoga’s Ancient Wisdom Can Transform Your Work Life Everyone knows that yoga helps reduce stress and increase the body’s flexibility and strength.

The Yogasūtra of Patañjali: A New Introduction to the Buddhist Roots of the Yoga System
by Pradeep P. GokhaleThis book offers a systematic and radical introduction to the Buddhist roots of Pātañjala-yoga, or the Yoga system of Patañjali. By examining each of 195 aphorisms (sūtras) of the Yogasūtra and discussing the Yogabhāṣya, it shows that traditional and popular views on Pātañjala-yoga obscure its true nature. The book argues that Patañjali’s Yoga contains elements rooted in both orthodox and heterodox philosophical traditions, including Sāṅkhya, Jaina and Buddhist thought. With a fresh translation and a detailed commentary on the Yogasūtra, the author unearths how several of the terms, concepts and doctrines in Patañjali’s Yoga can be traced to Buddhism, particularly the Abhidharma Buddhism of Vasubandhu and the early Yogācāra of Asaṅga. The work presents the Yogasūtra of Patañjali as a synthesis of two perspectives: the metaphysical perspective of Sāṅkhya and the empirical–psychological perspective of Buddhism. Based on a holistic understanding of Yoga, the study explores key themes of the text, such as meditative absorption, means, supernormal powers, isolation, Buddhist conceptions of meditation and the interplay between Sāṅkhya and Buddhist approaches to suffering and emancipation. It further highlights several new findings and clarifications on textual interpretation and discrepancies. An important intervention in Indian and Buddhist philosophy, this book opens up a new way of looking at the Yoga of Patañjali in the light of Buddhism beyond standard approaches and will greatly interest scholars and researchers of Buddhist studies, Yoga studies, Indian philosophy, philosophy in general, literature, religion and comparative studies, Indian and South Asian Studies and the history of ideas.

Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance
by Jessamyn StanleyFinding self-acceptance both on and off the mat. In Sanskrit, yoga means to &“yoke.&” To yoke mind and body, movement and breath, light and dark, the good and the bad. This larger idea of &“yoke&” is what Jessamyn Stanley calls the yoga of the everyday—a yoga that is not just about perfecting your downward dog but about applying the hard lessons learned on the mat to the even harder daily project of living. In a series of deeply honest, funny autobiographical essays, Jessamyn explores everything from imposter syndrome to cannabis to why it&’s a full-time job loving yourself, all through the lens of yoke. She calls out an American yoga complex that prefers debating the merits of cotton versus polyblend leggings rather than owning up to its overwhelming Whiteness. She questions why the Western take on yoga so often misses—or misuses—the tradition&’s spiritual dimension. And reveals what she calls her own &“whole-ass problematic&”: Growing up Baháí, loving astrology, learning to meditate, finding prana in music. And in the end, Jessamyn invites every reader to find the authentic spirit of yoke—linking that good and that bad, that light and that dark.

You Already Know How to Be Great
by Alan Fine Rebecca R. MerrillA bold new approach to performance by one of the top coaches in the country. In trying to improve-on the playing field, in the office, or even at home-most people seek out new information to get to the next level. They read a book, attend a class, or hire an expert to give them an edge. But Alan Fine, an accomplished tennis, golf, and executive coach and a renowned authority on peak performance, believes that this "outside-in" method is precisely what's holding you back from doing your best work. He's found the biggest obstacle to improved performance isn't not knowing what to do; it's not doing what you already know. Ironically, the quest for information and instructions designed to help you get ahead can often interfere with your ability to focus on doing something. Fine reveals his simple and proven approach to achieving breakthrough performance. It starts with reducing the interference that blocks your potential through an amazing process called G.R.O.W. (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward). No matter who you are or what you do, You Already Know How to Be Great will help you eliminate what is standing in the way of your goals.
