The only real gripe I have is that specific breathing techniques are not really covered. This is typical of most "Western"-oriented books/videos outlining Hatha Yoga practices. While many who have done breath work for meditation practice will have little problem adjusting, others might want to pick up a book focusing specifically on breath technique. Donna Fahri's THE BREATHING BOOK is a great place to start.

Nonetheless, a great book if one is inclined toward the more "Western" systems of Chakra work. Unlike the previous reviewer, I'm not going to toss it out just because it doesn't conform in every detail to the "Eastern" paths from whence they came, but I do agree that it probably isn't for those who reject the "Western" points of view inherent in both the "bestseller" New Age or more serious Occult practices ala the Golden Dawn.

GREAT RESULTS TO BE HAD FOR THOSE THAT WANT THEM!!!

This book has its place and there are those that will find the information and exercises helpful, I was not one of them. I have been interested in eastern philosophy for many years and find that the truth lies at the source, not in the west. We westerners have a bad habit of interpreting eastern philosophy and culture without truly understanding it. The New Age takes the bits and pieces and try to make sense out of it or create something altogether different. There is no quick western "New Age" way to remove what ails you. Your answers lie in the East and they will take time, knowledge, and practice. Thanks for reading my review.
