UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED.

Kundalini yoga engages your unique sources of energy -- those that empower your spirit as well as your body. Drawing from the riches of ancient yogic tradition, The Kundalini Yoga Experience offers a system of physical poses, breathing techniques, and focused meditations that, when practiced together, will bring you

• Increased physical health and strength • Emotional balance

• Heightened sensory awareness • Enhanced intuition and creativity

• Greater peace and fulfillment in relationships • A deeper sense of your own spirituality

Unlike any other yoga guide, The Kundalini Yoga Experience encourages you to develop a practice that suits your needs. At the start, a simple numerological profile based on your birth date reveals your strengths and weaknesses. From there, you'll learn which exercises and meditations will be most effective in helping you balance each energy center (or chakra) in your body. Clear instructions and photographs guide you through each step, and as you move from one to another, you'll see how physical movement and spiritual reflection go hand in hand to heal and strengthen every part of you.

With regular practice, you'll be surprised at how strong, healthy, and fulfilled you feel. Experiencing the power of Kundalini is your birthright -- embrace it!

The book is set out in four parts :
1. Numerology and the chakra system
This aids the student in choosing which kriya and meditation to practice in order to balance the chakras.

2. Your practice - preparation for practice.

3. The kriyas and meditations - beautifully photographed and clearly explained with smiling, confident models.

4. Kundalini components - an essential explanation of yogic elements.

The book includes precautions, an excellent glossary, some concise tables explaining the chakras and our ten bodies.

As a teacher, I have used this book for several months, finding it so well produced, I can work from it very easily and I have also recommended it to my students.

Excellent ManualDec 15, 2004
By Jason
This book is organized quite well. The layout is simple and straightforward. You are taken step by step in creating your own yoga routine. First, you learn about numerology and then use it to calculate which yogic bodies you need to work on. There are two meditations to choose from per yogic body. Next, you learn about the chakras and use a chart to rate your abilities within each chakra. You then use these scores to determine which chakra to work on first. Finally, you are shown how to compose an entire routine consisting of warm-up exercises, your personal kriya (chakra exercise), deep relaxation and wake-up sequence, your personal yogic body meditation, and a completion mantra. There is easily enough information in this book to provide for years of diverse methods of practice.

The book is also very well illustrated; all of the exercises are quite easy to emulate. The final section illustrates and expounds upon aspects of the exercises including breath, mantras, mundras, asanas, and bandhs.

Something to note also: this book is primarily an instruction manual. As such, it doesn't always adequately or fully explain everything presented. If you are, in fact, looking for a training guide and not a book that espouses the metaphysics of yoga, this is not really a problem.

What is yogaOct 05, 2002
By Judy Fraser
It is not often you get to read a book that has been simply written in an authoritate manner by people who clearly walk the walk, as well as walk the talk. Well written, beautifully illustrated there is nothing to stop anyone who is interested beginning to learn the discipline safely and to their benefit with immediate affect. This book is much needed and is a credit to its authors, both of whom have been hard at work serving others over many years as they learned their trade through practice and service to others. This book has a refreshing approach where self diagnosis made easy and gifted to the reader in a way they can relate to and understand. True at a physical level but also for the emotions and for the intellect. Remedial measures are explained and made simple and then it is up to the reader whether to proceed or not, if they choose to then the remedial measures of today become the preventative means of tomorrow. Available in the USA and Canada as The Kundalini Yoga Experience and in the UK as Kundalini the Essence of Yoga - same book different title both by Guru Dharam Singh & Darryl O'Keeffe. Both the authors are real yogi's of our time yet follow a traditional lineage influenced by Yogi Bhajan, an unbeatable combination and a must for any bookshelf.

Very thorough and complete for a book of its size!Aug 03, 2009
By L. Nelson
I have been a practicioner of kundalini yoga for over 10 years, and a teacher since 2004. I love this book because it covers all the basics of kundalini and yet has some very creative sets. I especially love the way the book is organized. It clearly explains the order of a class and is beautifully organized by chakras--giving two to three sets of exercises that focus on each chakra. The only drawback I have found is that many of the sets are very, very challenging and are not easy to teach to beginners. . . most of them are not ideal for introducing someone to kundalini (although a few of them are quite fine). Beautifully layed out and photographed, lightweight and thin enough to travel with easily.
