FREE Yoga The Science of Breath, Yogi Ramacharaka
Yoga is divided into several branches, ranging from that which teaches the control of the body, to that which teaches the attainment of the highest spiritual development. In the work we will not go into the higher phases of the subject, except when the "Science of Breath" touches upon the same. The "Science of Breath" touches Yoga at many points, and although chiefly concerned with the development and control of the physical, has also its psychic side, and even enters the field of spiritual development.
In India there are great schools of Yoga, comprising thousands of the leading minds of that great country. The Yoga philosophy is the rule of life for many people. The pure Yogi teachings, however, are given only to the few, the masses being satisfied with the crumbs which fall from the tables of the educated classes, the Oriental custom in this respect being opposed to that of the Western world. But Western ideas are beginning to have their effect even in the Orient, and teachings which were once given only to the few are now freely offered to any who are ready to receive them. The East and the West are growing closer together, and both are profiting by the close contact, each influencing the other.

ANTHROPOLOGISTS, as well as many other science professionals, have greatly confused the dietary history of our ancestry. Their overriding belief is that we were nitially carnivores. This is clearly challenged by two simple facts. First, well over half of the current population on planet earth today live primarily on a plant based diet. Second, the anatomy of humans effectively presents unshakeable evidence that we are
herbivorous and not carnivorous. Additionally, every creature on this earth besides humans and the animals we have displaced and controlled, consume a 100% raw food diet. In recent history, over the last several centuries, there have been dietary movements attempting to come back to the original food. Among the most notable are Natural Hygiene, Dr. Christine Nolfin’s Living Foods, France’s Instinctual Cuisine,
Anne Wigmore and Victoras Kulvinkas Live Foods, etc. Each of these programs not only applies food to maintain health, they often target the prevention and elimination of disease.
In the mid seventies, I had the privilege to direct the original living food center, Humlegarten. This healing center on the shores of Denmark, was founded by Dr. Nolfi, M.D. after she healed herself from breast cancer on a raw living food diet. Some ninety years ago, she was the first to offer a residential center where people could
experience the same healing fare that brought back her health. Dr. Scott Anderson,
researcher and allopathic physician, the new owner of this extraordinary facility,
was mission oriented and asked for my assistance in his conquest to heal cancer.
It was remarkable to scientifically document the results gained by consuming uncooked vegan organic food.
This gave me the confidence to continue that exploration throughout my professional life. In the late seventies, I spent a year working with Dr. Christian Schaller in Geneva Switzerland at foundation Soliel. This sprawling health center housed verything from organic farms to a quiet residential program. When placing participants on living food, we once again observed via blood profiles the positive impact that these nutrient rich morsels offered. Returning to the United States in nineteen-eighty, I was asked to direct the Hippocrates Health Institute. I had been
representing Hippocrates during the several years I lived and worked in Europe.

FREE New York Yoga, 2008-04-2008-05, NEW YORK’S MAGAZINE FOR YOGA AWARENESS
For over 42 years, legendary and humble Yoga Master Sri Dharma Mittra has been promoting a live food diet to students around the world. A Disciple of Sri Swami Kailashananda, Dharma Mittra has spent his life in service to humanity, and has been personally responsible for the advancement of healthy living through a live diet as taught to him by his own Guru. From his days in the Ashram, in the 1960’s, being in charge of preparing live food and fresh squeezed juices for the Guru and Ashram residents, to his earliest days in the 1970’s as a celebrated teacher in NYC, sprouting almonds and juicing vegetables and fruits for his students, this saintly Yogi has been living and spreading the knowledge of a live diet long before the recent gain in popularity of today.
To understand fully, we should begin with another Yoga Master, Dharma’s Guru, Swami Kailashananda, also known as, Yogi Gupta. He was ordained by Sri Swami Sivananda Maharaj, as the Doctor in charge at his Forest Health Clinic at the Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh. He attended to the sick patients with natural healing techniques involving color, sun, water and many dietary programs. Upon his arrival, he had not only brought the Holy science of Yoga from India, but the ancient knowledge of a live diet as prescribed through Ayurveda. Sri Swami Kailashananda quietly and tirelessly promoted the benefits of a live diet long before most of us reading this today
were even born, producing in 1969 a beautiful recording called “Yogic Food Concepts”, outlining the benefits and practical application of a live diet. To this day, Yogi Gupta, now 94, is a strong, healthy and clear minded Guru, crediting his longevity not only to the grace of God, but to a live diet he has persevered for years.

FREE Ancient Chinese Medicine Huang Di nei jing su wen, Paul Unschuld
This book is a study of the Huang Di nei jing su wen ¿“∫g¿› (Su wen), an ancient text that, together with its sister text, the Huang Di nei jing ling shu ¿“∫gFoe (Ling shu), plays a role in Chinese medical history comparable to that of the Hippocratic writings in ancient Europe. Progress and significant paradigm changes have reduced Hippocrates to the honored originator of a tradition that has become obsolete. In contrast, many practitioners of Chinese medicine still consider the Su wen a valuable source of theoretical inspiration and practical knowledge in modern clinical settings.
Available evidence suggests that at the basis of the Su wen is a layer of texts
written beginning in the second or first century b.c., with some of its conceptual
contents possibly dating from the third century b.c. Presumably in the first or second century a.d., several compilers or teams of authors, all unknown to us today, set out to bring together disparate texts of previous decades, thereby generating a second textual layer, to which were added further layers in subsequent centuries. The outcomes of these more or less contemporary efforts to combine a selection of statements and texts from an identical pool of writings by numerous previous authors in one authoritative compilation have come down to us in four major works: in addition
to the Su wen and the Ling shu, the Nan jing and the Huang Di nei jing tai su (Tai su).
Although the Su wen corpus has so far escaped all attempts at reconstruction, scholars agree that it was subjected to significant rearrangements, emendations, and additions in post-Han centuries, culminating in the contributions by Wang Bing in the eighth century. The Imperial Editorial Office of the eleventh century decided to introduce only minor editorial changes, so that the corpus available today essentially reflects the text that existed twelve hundred years ago.

FREE Astral Dynamics, A New Approach to Out of Body Experiences, Robert Bruce
This remarkable, invaluable book... I've never seen anything quite like it. In one fascinating volume, Robert Bruce has gathered together a personal narrative, a "how-to", a troubleshooting guide, and a theoretical perspective on the nonphysical structure underlying the strange and multidimensional life we all lead. Whether you are a skeptic, a veteran astral projector, a newbie, or an armchair traveler, there's treasure here.I first came across Robert Bruce as a presence in an Internet news group called alt.out-of-body("out-of-body experience" is, of course, the modern term for what used to be called astral projection), so I recognized his name when he contacted us at Hampton Roads to see if we would have an interest in publishing his book. I said we would, but was unprepared for the quality of the manuscript that he sent us, electronically, from half a world away in Australia. It's in a class by itself. What he says here rings true. In fact, it does a lot more than ring true. It opens doors. Astral Dynamics provides the intelligent and motivated reader with everything needed to put theory into practice.
The book's six parts may be read each on their own, but they have been placed to build nicely one upon the other. Part One, "Elements of Projection", presents Robert's theory of what actually goes on when the projectable double leaves the physical body. This in itself, right out of the gate, is fascinating terrain. His theory of the consequences of the mind-split that results from projection is itself worth the price of the book.
Part Two, "NEW Energy Ways", presents his stunningly practical method of raising energy and awareness by using touch, which he calls Tactile Imaging. I have tried this method on half a dozen people, selected more or less at random, each of whom obtained the desired awareness within seconds! And then, as if the new method of visualization weren't enough, Robert proceeds to describe the nature and anatomy of our energy bodies, a description firmly rooted in his own personal explorations.

FREE Yoga for Men (Postures for Healthy, Stress Free Living)
“This has to be one of the best books of the decade on yoga in general as well as being a ‘first’ in discussing yoga for men (although women will love it, too). The book has both depth and breadth. It covers the full spectrum of contemporary and classical yoga practices and at the same time delves deeply into these practices with loads of useful information, precautions, references, photographs, instructions and most importantly a realistic and easy to understand treatment of the subject. What I appreciate the most is the straightforward informative approach without the embellishment and dubious information often found in some contemporary yoga texts. Thomas Claire writes in a way that makes the book difficult to put down and regardless of how experienced or inexperienced a man you are in the practice of yoga, it’s sure to be helpful. It will be on the required reading list for all of our students.”
—Michael Lee, M.A., Founder, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and author of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy–A Bridge from Body to Soul
