We defend ourselves against pain, which makes us fearful of the future, and against the past, which brings back painful moments. To love, create, be kind, act selflessly, experience wonder, and feel inspired are totally human and natural. A few sections were more esoteric and lost me a bit, but I am comfortable using what works for me now and leaving the rest. For the last thirty years, Chopra has been at the forefront of the meditation revolution and his latest book, Living in the Light co-authored with Sarah Platt-Finger.

There is so much more to yoga than the asanas as explained in the first half of the book my Dr, Chopra. I have read the book from cover to cover, and this week began my weekly practice, following along with the book again.Whether the source is scripture, poetry, music, or a movie, the test is for you to allow yourself to enter into, say, a Mozart concerto or a ballad by Alicia Keys, and experience transcendence. With new insights on social and emotional intelligence, the power of attention, body awareness, breathing, wholeness, and transcendence, and with dozens of specially commissioned illustrations of yoga poses (accessible for all skill levels, from beginner to enthusiast), Living in the Light provides the ultimate guide to your exciting, bright, and enlightening future. The habit of being more conscious will emerge effortlessly and without pain and discomfort if you keep in mind that the best experiences in your life indicate that you have glimpsed the light already without struggling to get there. I appreciate yoga instructors who explain the posture, the benefits, and the subtle micro movements to help you get the most out of the position.

Chopra offers inspiration and shares his sense of what it means to be “living in the light,” while Platt-Finger shows readers many yoga poses. When following along with a yoga class or exercise video, the session would move on to the next pose or the same pose just on the opposite side. a wonderful life-changing and insightful book that brings light to your spiritual, emotional, and physical health, I highly recommend…. After I finish that, I will move to the second half of the book to do the yoga poses, and physical part of these exercises.

Since then, Sarah has made it her life’s purpose to share the authentic teachings of yoga to a greater collective worldwide.
