The author, Dr. Jonn Mumford , 12/04/97: Very original material compiled from a lifetime of teaching
I have been classically trained in India and as a physician (D.O.) I have been able to conjoin a western medical approach with Indian traditional philosophy and practice. The text contains many afterimage visualization techniques and unique meditation methods never before released. e.g. Try Chapter 13 to learn the fastest route to an altered state of consciousness using a 1 cent coin. Interested in OOBS?(Out-Of-Body Sensations) Try 'Geoff's Magic Trance Spiral' on page 34. Practice Yoni Mudra Chapter three and give yourself a total acupressure technique while you do it! If you wish original information about 'Sacred Sexuality' go to chapter fourteen and learn never before revealed Tantra exercises. I know what this book can do because I have spent a lifetime practicing, developing and integrating the best of East and West.
Reviews:
A Reader from eastren colorado , 02/20/98, wonderful book
This is not your traditional yoga book. But it is to be treasured for that very reason. The author has all the exercises of yoga but not in the usual sense. For instance, in hatha yoga one need not perform bending and twisting exercises to get the same benefits of the authors version of hatha yoga which is meditation on accupressure points. According to Esoteric physiology, the body has main chakras and many minor ones which are energy centers. Each of these chakras confers either psychic powers, health benefits or other gifts when awakened. Mumfords version of hatha and raja yoga show how to awaken these energy centers and attain the highest goal of yoga which is nirvana or Godhead. The book is easy to follow and practice. The section on tantra does not need a physical partner, since it is axiomatic in occult studies that the same benefits are gained by practicing the excercises in the imagination alone. An excellent book for the novice as well as expert yogi.
