The Yoga of Divine Works

Health, Mind & Body

Sri Aurobindo's philosophy as "an original synthesis of the Indian and Western traditions."-R. Puligandla Sri Aurobindo, Indian philosopher, yogi and guru, created a spiritual practice he called Integral Yoga. The central theme of his vision was the evolution of human life into a divine life. He believed in a spiritual realization that not only liberated but transformed human nature, enabling a divine life on earth. He sought to make us aware of "the same superior law [that] governs matter and spirit".EXCERPT: "ALL YOGA is in its nature a new birth; it is a birth out of the ordinary, the mentalised material life of man into a higher spiritual consciousness and a greater and diviner being. No Yoga can be successfully undertaken and followed unless there is a strong awakening to the necessity of that larger spiritual existence. The soul that is called to this deep and vast inward change, may arrive in different ways to the initial departure. It may come to it by its own natural development which has been leading it unconsciously towards the awakening; it may reach it through the influence of a religion or the attraction of a philosophy; it may approach it by a slow illumination or leap to it by a sudden touch or shock; it may be pushed or led to it by the pressure of outward circumstances or by an inward necessity, by a single word that breaks the seals of the mind or by long reflection, by the distant example of one who has trod the path or by contact and daily influence. According to the nature and the circumstances the call will come."

All Life Is Yoga: The Four Aids in Integral Yoga

Health, Mind & Body

Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. "The Yoga-siddhi, the perfection that comes from the practice of Yoga, can be best attained by the combined working of four great instruments. There is, first, the knowledge of the truths, principles, powers and processes that govern the realisation – śāstra. Next comes a patient and persistent action on the lines laid down by this knowledge, the force of our personal effort – utsāha. There intervenes, third, uplifting our knowledge and effort into the domain of spiritual experience, the direct suggestion, example and influence of the Teacher – guru. Last comes the instrumentality of Time – kāla; for in all things there is a cycle of their action and a period of the divine movement." – Sri Aurobindo

Health, Mind & Body

Fáradtan ébredsz? Napközben lankad az energiaszinted? Úgy érzed, minden egészségtrend túl bonyolult?Dr. Michael Breus, a világ egyik legismertebb alvásszakértője bebizonyítja, hogy az egészségesebb, energikusabb élet kulcsa nem drága csodaszerekben, szigorú diétákban vagy kimerítő edzéstervekben rejlik. A jó közérzet három pilléren nyugszik – és mindhárom már most is az életed része: alvás, hidratálás, légzés.Az Alvás, ivás, légzés kötet egy forradalmian egyszerű, háromhetes programot kínál, amely segít újra összehangolni tested alapvető funkcióit.

Épp ellenkezőleg: rugalmasan alakíthatod saját igényeidhez – akár az első szótól az utolsóig elolvasod a könyvet, akár rögtön a programmal kezded, és fokozatosan vezeted be a változtatásokat.Ez a könyv nemcsak arról szól, hogyan aludj jobban, igyál okosabban és lélegezz helyesen, hanem arról is, hogy visszanyerd az irányítást a saját közérzeted felett. Három hét – és már nemcsak érzed, hanem látod is a változást: frissebben ébredsz, kevesebbet sóvárogsz egészségtelen ételek után, többet mozogsz, és egyszerűen könnyebben érzed magad a bőrödben.A jó közérzet nem kell, hogy bonyolult legyen. Ez a könyv megmutatja, hogy néhány tudatos döntés elegendő lehet ahhoz, hogy az egészséged és a mindennapjaid új lendületet kapjanak.„Egy célirányos program, mely fantasztikus hosszú távú előnyökkel szolgál test és lélek számára egyaránt; kötelező olvasmány mindenki számára, aki komolyan javítani szeretne a közérzetén. Dr. Daniel G. AmenMichael J. Breus PhD okleveles klinikai pszichológus és egyben okleveles klinikai alvásspecialista.

Moral Threats and Dangerous Desires

Health, Mind & Body

Since 1981, AIDS has had an enormous impact upon the popular imagination. Few other diseases this century have been greeted with quite the same fear, loathing, and prejudice against those who develop it. The mass media, and in particular, the news media, have played a vital part in "making sense" of AIDS. This volume takes an interdisciplinary perspective, combining cultural studies, history of medicine, and contemporary social theory to examine AIDS reporting. There have been three major themes dominating coverage: the "gay-plague" dominant in the early 1980s, panic-stricken visions of the end of the world as AIDS was said to pose a threat to everyone, in the late 1980s; and a growing routinising of coverage in the 1990s. This book lays bare the sub-textual ideologies giving meaning to AIDS news reports, including anxieties about pollution and contagion, deviance, bodily control, the moral meanings of risk, the valorisation of drugs and medical science. Drawing together the work of cultural and politicaltheorists, sociologists and historians who have written about medicine, disease and the body, as well as that of theorists in Europe and the USA who have focused their attention specificaiiy on AIDS, this book explores the wide theoretical debate about the importance of language in the social construction of illness and disease. This text offers insights into the sociocultural context in which attitudes towards people with HIV or AIDS and people's perceptions of risk from HIV infection are developed and the responses of governments to the AIDS epidemic are formulated.

Health, Mind & Body

Confronté depuis plus de vingt ans, en tant que chirurgien cancérologue, à l'augmentation inexorable de la fréquence et de l'agressivité des cancers chez des patients de plus en plus jeunes, le Dr Michel Lallement s'est intéressé à la responsabilité des facteurs environnementaux, et en particulier nutritionnels, dans ce phénomène.Et il a constaté que certaines intolérances alimentaires, et la consommation de certains aliments "toxiques", parce qu'ils favorisent un état inflammatoire persistant de l'organisme, représentent une cause majeure de prédisposition aux cancers, mais également à toutes les maladies chroniques et dégénératives, désormais appelées "maladies émergentes" : Alzheimer, fibromyalgie, fatigue chronique, dépression, arthrose, ostéoporose, obésité...Les clés de l'alimentation-santé détaille, de façon pratique, les mécanismes d'intoxication de notre organisme par une alimentation inadaptée. Plutôt que de nouvelles recettes "anticancer", l'auteur propose au lecteur de devenir son propre nutritionniste, grâce à la compréhension des mécanismes d'une alimentation saine. Muni de ces notions, le lecteur verra enfin clair dans la multitude de conseils alimentaires dont il est abreuvé au quotidien.Chacun pourra alors revenir sans effort à son "poids de meilleure santé" et réduira considérablement son risque de développer ces nouvelles maladies dites "de civilisation", donnant ainsi tout son sens à la notion de prévention, la majorité des pathologies émergentes pouvant assurément être évitée !

All Life Is Yoga: The Soul and How to Find It

Health, Mind & Body

"The soul, the psychic being, is in direct touch with the divine Truth, but it is hidden in man by the mind, the vital being and the physical nature (manas, prana, anna of the Taittiriya Upanishad). One may practise Yoga and get illuminations in the mind and the reason; one may conquer power and luxuriate in all kinds of experiences in the vital; one may establish even surprising physical siddhis; but if the true soul-power behind does not manifest, if the psychic nature does not come into the front, nothing genuine has been done. In this Yoga, the psychic being is that which opens the rest of the nature to the true supramental light and finally to the supreme Ananda." – Sri Aurobindo "In truth, the only thing that is truly tragic is not to become conscious of one’s soul, the psychic being, and not to be entirely guided by it in one’s life. To die before having found one’s soul and lived according to its law, that is the true failure." – The Mother
