Check out Yoga for Health & Healing, available from our site. This is based

on YBs teachings and sounds as if it is what you are looking for.

I would suggest either Transitions to a Heart Centered World or Relax &

Renew. Both are very popular, and contain a tremendous amount of material.

This is a difficult one, as a lot of it is down to your own tastes in music.

The Yoga of Sound series from Mata Mandir Singh is excellent. Also,

Gurunam's CDs are very popular - we have just added two new ones at the end

of last week. Guru Singh is amazing - aptly named "spirit rock"! Then we

have a choice of 4 or 5 sadhana CDs from various artists, which you would

need to listen to excerpts from before deciding, and various other CDs for

meditation and relaxation. Can't you borrow a PC from someone to check them

all out?

 

I hope this has been of some help to you.

 

Sat Nam!

Gordon,

 

Thank you very much, you are a rare and wonderful webmaster ;-}

 

(much better than the grumpy one sitting behind me!) I will go and check

out your suggestions. I'll be in NY next week and I will try listening

to some of the samples on the site in muy in-laws PC.

 

thank you again!

Dear Christine,

 

I do spinal series everyday too. For me is the basic maintanence

requirement. Then I add based on how much time I have and what I want to

work on at the time.

 

I too recommend Transitions to a Heart Centered World as your next book.

 

The CD I love is Aquarian Sadhana. I have listened to it everyday for many

years and still love it. Even when I cannot chant the whole thing I use it

as background music for my ky practice. It is beautiful and mellow. There

are others, but that depends on what meditations you want to do.

 

> recommend a next level book for me and perhaps a few to follow up?

 

The 3 classics are Transitions, Relax and Renew and Sexuality and

Sprituality. You can get one at a time. There are over a hundred sets and

meditations in each one. Plenty to choose from!

 

Sat Nam.

Ah, thank you you reminded me of a question I have been meaning to ask!

 

After I finish the spinal set and I've rested in sponge and then

meditated, do I then retune in and start a new set? or just do some

extra positions? I would really like to work on the abdominals, I think

I did a lower 3 chakra set once.

 

Then do I do the sponge and meditate again? This may seem like a silly

or obvious thing but it's had me confused.

so, this must be the basis of a belief in reincarnation.... I'll need

several more lives ;-)

Dear Cris,

No. Tuning in at the beginning of the session is fine.

You can do these after the set and the relaxation or you can do these in the

beginning as warm ups before the set. I find that I like to begin with

spinal flexes, so if I am adding navel exercises I do this after my

relaxation and then I relax again after the navel exercises.

 

> Then do I do the sponge and meditate again?

 

Each major workout requires a relaxation to integrate the effects.

Consolidating with a meditation at the end is the standard procedure. But I

find that most of the active meditations require time to integrate too, so I

rest and then do a silent meditation to end.

 

If I am really spaced out, I end with a few navel exercises to activte me

again to start my day.

 

I hope this helps. The main point is to take time to integrate what you

have done before moving on.

 

Sat Nam,
