Klappentext

Sedona Soul Stretch: 10 Ancient Yoga Principles to Heighten Consciousness and Performance discusses specific ways to apply ten ancient Yoga principles to guide your everyday life decisions towards greater success. It shows how to use these proven principles to enrich your home and work life and achieve your deepest desires and highest performance. The codes begin with Compassion for self and others and shift the focus inward to get in touch with your soul and connect with the energy of all beings throughout the Universe. The book guides you to ponder how you are living and discover your genuine life purpose.

The first set of five principles, the Yamas in Sanskrit, is based on human characteristics observed as the highest good present in everyone. These social harmony characteristics guide you in practicing compassion for yourself and others, truthfulness, non-stealing, moderation in all things, and non-attachment to worldly desires and possessions.

The second series of five principles, called the Niyamas in Sanskrit, are internal soulful practices that encourage you to move more deeply within to reach your higher consciousness. These precepts guide you to practice Purity, Contentment, Discipline, Self-Study, and Surrender to a higher power as you realize your Oneness with the Universe.
These ancient concepts were culled from the oral tradition of wandering sages, known as Sadus or holy persons, who taught them as guides to prevent human suffering. Approximately 200 years before Christ, these principles were recorded as part of 196 wise sayings or aphorisms in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

About the title -"Sedona Soul Stretch" does not require a trip to Sedona or to any other sacred place. Author Johanna Mosca included the name "Sedona" because so many of her own soul-stretch epiphanies occurred through experiences of spiritual connection with clients in her Sedona Spirit Yoga and Hiking sessions. Hence, the title "Sedona Soul Stretch." However, the wisdom of these 10 Ancient Yoga Principles extends beyond time and space and will be yours forever, no matter where you find yourself in life. May living these principles help you grow in the deepest and most compassionate way.
