Vivimos tan preocupados por nuestras tareas cotidianas que nos hemos olvidado de respirar bien, y lo hacemos de forma mecánica e inconsciente. Sabemos que la respiración es salud y vida, pero no le damos la importancia que merece. La vida depende por completo de la respiración, sin ella no podríamos existir. Desde la primera inspiración y espiración que realizamos al nacer hasta la expiración, en la que cesamos de respirar y se produce nuestra partida del mundo físico, estamos respirando, y, sin embargo, en Occidente nos ocupamos poco de esta maravillosa ciencia. Yogi Ramacharaka nos enseña en este libro las distintas técnicas de respiración oriental que nos ayudarán a mantenernos en buena forma y en un estado inmejorable de salud, respirando adecuadamente en nuestra vida cotidiana. Un libro que nos ayudará a ser conscientes de nuestros malos hábitos en la respiración para cambiarlos y poder respirar de forma correcta, atrayendo hacia nosotros todos los beneficios que se derivan de ella.

2018 Reprint of 1960 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Originally published in 1903, this is a manual of the philosophy of physical, mental and spiritual development by the intelligent control of the breath. Ramacharaka William Walker Atkinson] was the author of several books on the subject of Eastern Philosophy and its practices. For thousands of years, yogis have believed that breath is the essential link between body and mind, energizing a subtle body which connects the physical and mental aspects of our being. In this book, Swami Rama explores the science of breath as the missing key to both physical health and the attainment of higher states of consciousness. Basic yogic breathing techniques are explained so that one can immediately begin working with the ancient science of breath.

A Complete Manual of the Oriental Breathing Philosophy of Physical, Mental, Psychic and Spiritual Development - An unabridged, unaltered edition.

The Science of Raja Yoga teaches the Control of the Mind. It holds that the internal world must be conquered before the outer world is attacked... It aims to clear away all mental rubbish and encumbrances - to conduct a mental house cleaning, as it were, and to secure a clear, clean, healthy mind.

A Series of Lessons in Raja Yoga addresses the branch of yoga that focuses on mental development and concentration. The series consists of twelve lessons that set readers on a path to a greater understanding of themselves and their latent powers. Written 120 years ago, this book, as well as its two precursors (Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy and Advanced Course) is part of a series of books that introduced in simple language the yogi philosophy to a Western audience.

Some of the subjects explored in the book:

How to cultivate mental controlHow to cultivate one's Attention, Perception, MemoryHow to train the mind to materialize thoughts into actionHow to use the subconscious mind to modify one's behavior and character

Eleven meditation mantras and exercises are also included for the reader's personal and spiritual growth.

Republished by Bamboo Leaf Press, this edition includes a foreword by Richard Rosen, the renowned yoga teacher and writer. This is a high-quality printed book with a stitch-binding that allows you to open the book flat on a desk without the pages falling out while reading.

The trouble with us is that modern civilization has drawn us so far away from Nature, that our natural impulses and tendencies have been smothered and stifled... -from Natural Laws of the Body Mind over matter... The natural over the artificial... These were the unspoken mantras of the proponents of New Thought, the mystical movement at the turn of the twentieth century that sought to unleash the forces of the universe within humanity. One of the most influential thinkers of this early New Age philosophy promises here, in this 1909 book, to show the reader how to to spread the glad tidings of Health and Strength, by using the body's Prana, or Vital Force; by direct control of the body's cells via the mind, or mental healing; and by calling the light of higher thought down on the body, or spiritual healing. An appreciation of our higher nature, the yogi reminds us, will result in an healthy sense of physical rejuvenation. A century later, it's a lesson many of us-in our anxious, stressful times-can continue to benefit from. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932)-aka Yogi Ramacharaka-was born in Baltimore and had built up a successful law practice in Pennsylvania before professional burnout led him to the religious New Thought movement. He served as editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and as editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books-including The Philosophies and Religions of India, Arcane Formula or Mental Alchemy and Vril, or Vital Magnetism-under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today.

In 1903, Science of Breath introduced Americans to yoga. Throughout this work, Western biology is mixed with Indian spiritual practices to show readers how to breathe better and improve their lives. Yoga can increase focus, decrease stress, and bring the practitioner greater awareness. Anyone interested in yoga will find this helpful guide a great way to start their practice.--This text refers to an alternate edition.

Breath is Life

Yogi Ramacharaka was an American pioneer of the New Thought movement. In this work, he hopes to awaken the minds of the Western world to the value of the Yogi Science of Breath. The Oriental teachers say that in addition to the physical benefit derived from correct habits of breathing, Man's mental power, happiness, self-control, clear-sightedness, morals, and even his spiritual growth may be increased by an understanding of the Science of Breath (Pranayama). Yogi Ramacharaka explains how to acquire the yogi complete breath and its physiological effect. He also describes the favorite exercises of the Yogis for developing the lungs, muscles, ligaments, air cells, etc. He gives full directions for the acquirement of this superior method of breathing, with a lot of exercises (with step-by-step descriptions). They are quite simple, but marvelously effective.
