In "Heart Yoga, "renowned spiritual writer and Sacred Activist
Andrew Harvey and longtime yoga teacher Karuna Erickson present a
vision of hatha yoga practice that links ancient spiritual
traditions to contemporary life. Including excerpts of poetic
sacred writing from mystical sages through the ages, the book
reminds readers that the purpose of yoga is not to improve one's
physical health or even to achieve peace of mind (although these
results may be achieved along the way), but to reach a state of
unity with the divine, the goal of mystics from all traditions.
With detailed descriptions and photographs of fifty yoga poses and
their alchemical effects on the body and consciousness, "Heart Yoga
"presents yoga as a simple meditative practice that enables the
practitioner to dwell in the heart and experience the bliss of
union with the sacred power underlying all of life. The book
explains how to prepare for Heart Yoga and describes the "Five
Great Joys" that are part of the path. Included are the authors'
own compelling stories of their individual journeys along the path
of yoga: stories of suffering, transcendence, and joy that both
inspire and enlighten.
