5.0 out of 5 stars Simple work, fast results, January 16, 2004

This review is from: Yoga Secrets for Business Success: Transition Stress Management for the 21st Century (Paperback)

This excellent book is unlike any other yoga book I've seen (and I've read dozens and looked at probably hundreds). The focus is on simple hand postures (mudras) combined with breath and chanting to create fast results. The hand gestures are said to open and or balance the body's energy channels to enhance particular personal qualities, such as awareness, relaxation, happiness, cooperation, etc. One drawback is that the chants are in Sanskrit and feel awkward to this westerner's mouth. They don't sound or feel natural and only a few of them seem accessible enough to actually use. Nevertheless, there's obvious value in them -- when I chant the syllable "Ma," it vibrates and opens my heart, just as the author says it does. I find myself using the book nightly for 20 to 30 minutes, doing several of the postures and meditations, but only a few of the chants. With practice I'm increasing the time I spend with individual postures, but even doing them for a few minutes each makes me feel better. The posture for happiness definitely works. After holding the position for only a few minutes I can feel my mood becoming light and full of joy and humor. I borrowed this book from the library and liked it so much I bought a copy because I want to spend a lot more time with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it!, May 30, 2003

Andre Coveney (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yoga Secrets for Business Success: Transition Stress Management for the 21st Century (Paperback)

I am in sales and frequently travel for work. I always make sure to pack Yoga Secrets for Business Success when I plan for a trip. The stress of traveling can wear on my body, but this book offers secret tips and exercises to keep me healthy and energized while I am away from home.

I recomend this book to anyone who wants to stay positive and free from stress. You can do the exercises at home or in your hotel room when you are away!

There are very clear directions and pictures showing how to do each exercise.

Even if you have never done any yoga, you will find you can do any exercise in this book.

I am happy I found it.

This book guides the reader through the process of connecting with the self. Darshan Singh gives us recipes, in easy to understand language, to allow our own inner guru to guide us on the path to oneness and wholeness in a world of high stress and high expectation. He is giving us the experience to be able to connect with our self, a truly wonderful gift. I recommend this book and these techniques to every person in all paths of life. Enjoy the journey and the experience of your own true self.
