Two thousand five hundred years ago, Tibetan monks developed a
series of just five exercises, called "rites," which heal and
rejuvenate. This is Peter Kelder's "lost" 1946 "Eye of Revelation"
with new information about these Tibetan Rites and their history.
LOOK AND FEEL TWENTY YEARS YOUNGER WITH THE LIFE PLAN
Back in 1998, Dr. Life was sixty years old and a stereotype of the
aging man: he was overweight with a noticeable gut and little
muscle tone. His low libido was ruining his self-esteem. He felt
tired all the time, yet no amount of sleep made him feel well
rested. It wasn't until a cardiologist read him the riot act that
he began to make the critical diet and lifestyle adjustments that
led him to look and feel younger than ever. More important, he's
been able to maintain his physique and his health more than
fourteen years later.
In this revolutionary book, Jeffry Life demonstrates how you too
can enjoy an active, clear-headed, sexually satisfying, vigorous,
and health-filled life, while avoiding late-onset diabetes, heart
disease, and other common illnesses and complaints of aging. Any
man can master "The Life Plan, "no matter what shape he may be in.
It offers:
- A multidisciplinary exercise plan designed to improve heart
health and increase muscle mass.
- A delicious, easy-to-follow diet, including rules for dining out
and recipes.
- A complete guide to nutrient supplements that can help men
stop--and possibly reverse-- the aging process.
- An honest assessment of male hormone replacement therapies based
on the most up-to-date research.
- Advice for getting the best possible care from your doctor.
- And much more
For men seeking to make over their bodies and turn back the clock,
"The Life Plan "delivers the keys to a fitter body, a stronger
immune system, and a richer, fuller life.
The Yoga Sutras were compiled about 2,000 years ago by the sage
Patanjali from an oral tradition reaching back into unknowable
antiquity. He gives us the essential wisdom for the practice of
yoga and meditation to know, first hand, the essence of our true
Self-the conscious indweller that enlivens this body. Experiencing
the fully conscious state shows us the essential transcendent
nature of the universe to bring us a state of undisturbed joyous
tranquillity. Traditionally, this wisdom has been handed down from
master to student as a transmission of the means to liberation.
Patanjali tells us that the pure blissful inner Self is already
attained and all that is required is to lose interest in that which
is not the Self. This is pretty straight forward, and we learn all
we need to know in the first three sutras. Presuming we will not
get it the first time, he goes on to detail the nature of the Self,
the practices that will awaken us, the attainments that arise from
the practices and then explains about the state of final
liberation. Throughout the book we are reminded of two fundamental
practices that lead to the final state, kaivalya. One practice is
vairagya (dispassion, non-attachment) and the other is viveka
(discrimination). In the practice of viveka, we learn to
discriminate between the mind and the watcher of the mind
(consciousness itself). When we can rest in the state of
consciousness knowing itself; we answer the question, "Who am I?"
"All that I am, I am because of my mind."

Working out in the gym has become part of a healthier lifestyle
followed by many people. How do you ensure that you condition every
part of your body to avoid the risk of injury? How to you ensure
that you follow a gym programme that will enhance your running,
cycling or other fitness or leisure pursuits? How to you achieve an
all-over toned body and ensure that you do specific exercises
correctly so that they will be effective? How do you avoid the
boredom that so often sets in after a few weeks of following the
same routine? This title gives you all the advantages of having
your own personal trainer without the challenges of scheduling,
possible personality clashes and being tied to a specific gym or
venue. It demonstrates more than 250 graded exercises using body
weight and widely accessible basic equipment (bosu ball, Swiss
ball, medicine ball, theraband, steps, dumbbells, skipping rope),
highlighting the muscle groups used for every exercise, explaining
pitfalls and injury risks and then combines these in 26
user-friendly programmes. Individual exercises in the programmes
are interchangeable, giving you even wider scope, and many of the
exercises have interesting variations, as well as more difficult
levels for progression. Special training programmes for pregnancy
have also been included.
