En Dybere Yoga Og Yoga Nidra - Med Qr-links Til Vejledte Dybdeafspændinger Fra Oplev Yoga Nidra
En dybere yoga og Yoga Nidra er en rejse ind i yogaens hemmeligheder og sammenhænge. Ikke blot går den til kilderne i den årtusind gamle yoga-tradition, som forfatteren, Swami Janakananda, oprindeligt stiftede bekendtskab med hos sin lærer i Indien, den bygger tillige på en livslang erfaring med yoga og meditation. Bogen berører emner om yogaens oprindelse og udvikling, og giver et billede af menneskets natur og dimensioner som beskrevet i den klassiske yogalitteratur. Dette værk giver en kvalificeret vejledning i at anvende yoga og den meditative dybdeafspænding Yoga Nidra som noget helt andet og mere end en overfladisk gymnastik og afslapning. Bogen indeholder desuden QR-links til lydindspilninger, bl.a. to guidede dybdeafspændinger fra Swami Janakanandas værk Oplev Yoga Nidra. Med sin tekst, sine illustrationer og lydoptagelser giver En dybere yoga og Yoga Nidra dig som læser mulighed for at bevæge dig nemt mellem de forskellige dele og lader dig vælge en af de guidede dybdeafspændinger (på 20 eller 45 minutter) efter behov. Swami Janakananda udforsker emner som: o Brugen af en personlig beslutning i Yoga Nidra o Grunden til at lyde og toner anvendes sammen med oplevelsen af de psykiske centre, chakraerne o Dybtgående tantriske metoder som Nada Yoga (lyd yoga) og Kriya Yoga o Nyasa i Yoga Nidra hvorfra 'bodyscanning' er taget o Kroppens stilling. Formålet med, og virkningen af, at holde kroppen ubevægelig i shavasana o Søvnen, den vågne tilstand og hjernens alfa tilstand i forbindelse med meditation og dybdeafspænding o Evnen til at opleve Forfatteren ser længere end yogaens metoder, til deres oprindelse og de forestillinger der har præget yogaen i vor tid, og viser os hvordan den virkelighed, vi alle som psykiske væsener deler, er uafhængig af de forskellige kulturer, vi er født ind i - og hvordan vi kan nå til denne indsigt gennem yoga. Forbindelsen mellem indholdet i Yoga Nidra og den shamanistiske tradition belyses flere gange gennem bogen. En etnologisk sammenhæng med fælles menneskelige symboler og deres virkning på vores underbevidsthed viser sig langt fra at være tilfældig, men at være valgt og brugt bevidst i Yoga Nidra. Forfatteren redegør for overraskende resultater af videnskabelige undersøgelser: o Om en øget dopamin-produktion i hjernen under yoga nidra o Stresshåndtering og yoga o Styrkelse af immunforsvaret o Evnen til at styre sindet i en dyb tilstand En dybere yoga og Yoga Nidra giver indsigt i at anvende yogaen, dens metoder og 'nøgler' til at åbne døren til dit inderste og til en dyb indre ro. Inspirationen i bogens tekst ligger i, at det kan lade sig gøre at bruge yogaen og Yoga Nidra på en bevidst måde og derigennem vælge at opnå det tilsigtede. Når yoga og Yoga Nidra dybdeafspændingen bliver introduceret og vejledt på en kompetent måde, supplerer og forstærker de hinanden og giver en dyb oplevelse til den som vil tage del af denne erfaring. Yoga Nidra og mange dele af yoga har til fælles med en ordentlig meditation, at det er et redskab man kan bruge til at kunne give slip på hæmmende indtryk og påvirkninger og begrænsende forestillinger - en måde at få kroppen til at spænde af og sindet til at give slip og tømme sig. Man kan kalde det en rejse mod ens sande identitet, ens center. Til dette behøver du imidlertid metoder og vejledning som sikrer, at du ikke snyder dig selv, men når frem til dit mål. Swami Janakananda er grundlæggeren af Skandinavisk Yoga og Meditationsskole, en af de mest respekterede yogaskoler i den vestlige verden. Han lægger særlig vægt på den vitaliserende, stress-reducerende og åndelige kerne af yoga. Gennem sin dybdegående undervisning i meditation, yoga, Kriya yoga, åndedrætsøvelser og yoga nidra, er han med til at bibeholde den autentiske yoga. Swami Janakananda er kendt for sine bøger Yoga, tantra og meditation i min hverdag og Giv Slip og CD'en Oplev Yoga Nidra, som findes på flere sprog. Gennem disse værker og med sin undervisning på Internationale Håå Retreat Center i Sydsverige har han inspireret tusindtals mennesker fra hele verden til at lære sig selv at kende og leve et kreativt og harmonisk liv.

Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra, which is derived from the tantras, is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. In yoga nidra, sleep is not regarded as relaxation. People feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in an easy chair with a cup of coffee, a drink or a cigarette, and read a newspaper or switch on the television. But this will never suffice as a scientific definition of relaxation. These are only sensory diversions. True relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all this. For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is yoga nidra, the state of dynamic sleep. Yoga nidra is a systematic method of inducing complete physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The term yoga nidra is derived from two Sanskrit words, yoga meaning union or one-pointed awareness, and nidra which means sleep. During the practice of yoga nidra, one appears to be asleep, but the consciousness is functioning at a deeper level of awareness.

Transmission of Light: Zen in the Art of Enlightenment by Zen Master Keizan
A translation of the classic Denkoroku by one of the premier translators of Buddhist and Taoist texts illustrates how to arrive at the epiphanic Zen awakening known as satori. The essential initiatory experience of Zen, satori is believed to open up the direct perception of things as they are. 'Even if you sit until your seat breaks through, even if you persevere mindless of fatigue, even if you are a person of lofty deeds and pure behavior, if you haven't reached this realm of satori, you still can't get out of the prison of the world.' Deliberately cultivated and employed to awaken the dormant potency of the mind, satori is said to be accessible to all people, transcending time, history, culture, race, gender, and personality. Attributed to the thirteenth-century Zen Master Keizan (1268-1325), Transmission of Light (along with The Blue Cliff Record and The Gateless Barrier ) is one of three essential koan texts used by Zen students. Techniques for reaching the enlightening
