Description
This Czech-language book presents yoga and Ayurvedic medicine as a comprehensive approach to physical fitness, vitality and higher forms of consciousness. Dr David Frawley, one of the leading Western experts on India’s spiritual and healing traditions, explores their ancient shared roots and explains the concepts on which both systems are based. The chapters examine the hidden forces of the body, breathing, the senses, mental activity and internal energy systems, including the secrets of yogic alchemy, the binding of the inner fire and the nadis, the channels of prana. The book also introduces transformative methods drawing on the ancient Indian knowledge of medicinal herbs, bodily postures, breathing and meditation techniques, including the preparation of soma, pratyahara as the forgotten limb of yoga, and asanas and Ayurveda. It is the first book published in the West to seriously address the relationship between these two ancient Indian sciences, which have inspired many contemporary alternative approaches to health and spiritual development.
