Kundalini Yoga: A Simple Guide to the Yoga of Awareness is an introduction to living your life with more awareness and spirituality, as well as a guide to the principles of this form of yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, the author's teacher. Kundalini yoga includes habits and practices that "balance the glandular system, strengthen the nervous system, and enable us to harness the energy of the mind and the emotions," explains the author. She clearly explains many facets of this kundalini lifestyle: breathing (including breathing exercises), spirituality, food choices and preparation, chants and meditations, the chakras (energy centers in the body), self-healing, sleep, communication, and using yoga postures for health.

This is not an exercise book of yoga postures--although several are illustrated--but a guidebook toward a more spiritual path. "Spirituality cannot be taught. It has to be caught, you have to get it from someone who's got it." The book describes the path to a more spiritual life using kundalini yoga philosophy and practice. You don't have to move to a cave to adopt these practices--the author shows you how you can use them to balance even a busy, modern lifestyle. -- Joan Price

Reader Review
THIS IS AN AWESOME YOGA BOOK!, January 28, 2002
Reviewer: decotiis (see more about me at Amazon.com) from Austin, TX
This is a very open minded book - inclusive of all religions, with the underlying belief that Kundalini yoga and meditation can serve to deepen all spiritual practices.

In this book, Gurmukh devotes a chapter to each of the chakras and discusses the strengths and shadow sides of each energy center. Each chapter tells stories and gives examples, either from Gurmukh's life or from the lives of her students. When discussing the second chakra she gives an account of a man who felt that he was addicted to sex - and then she discusses the path he took towards healing. In the chapter which discusses the third chakra she relates a story about a woman who was consumed by anger and how focusing her healing energy on that chakra brought her to a new level of health and well-being (the woman had AIDS as well). In the chapter on the 6th chakra she tells about a woman who decided to take anti-depressants after yoga helped her realize that she was clinically depressed. Gurmukh also tells her own stories of addictions, pain and healing. Each chapter also gives examples of specific exercises to do for each chakra.

This book is a great addition to any yoga library.

Reader Review
Excellent, "must have" for every yoga practitioner !, November 5, 2001
Reviewer: A reader from Los Angeles, CA United States
Sadhana Guidelines is a "Must have" book for anyone who wants to practice Kundalini Yoga. If you haven't tried Kundalini yoga, you're in for a treat. It goes beyond the postures (asanas) of Hatha Yoga. Sadhana (which means "personal spiritual practice")Guidelines supplies in-depth descriptions and explanations of the mudras, the mantras, and excellent sets of exercises (kriyas) clearly described and illustrated so you know what to do, how to do it, and how long to do it. (It's an ideal manual, making an excellent companion to KUNDALINI YOGA: The Flow of Eternal Power which explains the philosophy of Kundalini Yoga.)

Reader Review
Kundalini yoga for all, October 4, 2002
Reviewer: Mrs Eve de Meza (Seva Simram Kaur) from Exeter, Devon United Kingdom
The most outstanding quality of this excellent book is its accessibility to both the novice yoga student and the experienced teacher. It is a rare treat to find a book on Kundalini Yoga which encourages the reader to work alone if there are no expert teachers around. It does this in a safe, confident and careful manner, leading the reader through the initial stages to the final, satisfactory stages of practising this powerful yogic system.

The book is set out in four parts :
1. Numerology and the chakra system
This aids the student in choosing which kriya and meditation to practice in order to balance the chakras.
2. Your practice - preparation for practice.
3. The kriyas and meditations - beautifully photographed and clearly explained with smiling, confident models.
4. Kundalini components - an essential explanation of yogic elements.

The book includes precautions, an excellent glossary, some concise tables explaining the chakras and our ten bodies.

As a teacher, I have used this book for several months, finding it so well produced, I can work from it very easily and I have also recommended it to my students.

Reader Review
Intense, too magical, perhaps too selfish, December 14, 2001
Reviewer: A reader from Raleigh, NC United States
This is a very intense book. Although there is a lot of information here, it seems the author is writing something to open up people to Kundalini for the purposes of obtaining psychic and magical power. This focus can be dangerous because the emphasis seems to be very much on the 'me' rather than how can my service to humanity be achieved using these methods.

You probably want to start elsewhere and then browse through a copy after you have studied chakras and kundalini for awhile. Not beginner material.

Reader Review
Must Have for all people interested in Kundalini, August 14, 2001
Reviewer: John Tylwalk from Lebanon, PA United States
This was a great work done by a great man. It tells the story of the horror and delight a yogi went through when he accidently tapped the powers of the serpent. Kundalini dwells within all of us and this book forwarns all who wish to awaken it. This book is Gopi's account of the changes which took place inside of him self and the complex bioelectric changes which must occur for Kundalini awakening.

Although this is a great account of Kundalini awakening, it is not a book of exercises or practices. It is more of a warning of the pain one will go through if not prepared for the "Evolutionary Energy". Gopi has written many other books which deal with meditation, exercises, preparation, and the like.

Even if you wish to find books which teach how to awaken the Kundalini through practice, this is still a must have. It tells of the different effects the Kundalini awakening will have on your body and also and added comentary from a respect psychologist.

Book Description
The first complete and fully illustrated guide to Kundalini available!
Kundalini comes from the Indian word kundal, which means "lock of hair from the beloved." The uncoiling of this "hair" is the awakening of the kundalini, the creative potential that already exists in every human. The yoga in this book is a sampling of the vast wealth called Kundalini Yoga. Here you learn about the branch of yoga based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D., who brought Kundalini Yoga from India to the West in 1969. Master yoga teacher and author Shakta Kaur Khalsa demonstrates how Kundalini Yoga works for everyday life and every person. You are not required to be in perfect physical shape or share any particular belief system. Kundalini Yoga works for you if you can breathe and move your body! In this type of yoga, the most important thing is experience. Your experience goes right to your heart, your core. These ancient teachings are designed to give you a hands-on approach to experiencing your deepest emotions and highest consciousness. By approaching Kundalini Yoga with openness and respect, and by following the steps included in this book, you can change and enrich your life.

Reader Review
Worth every penny!, February 14, 2001
Reviewer: A reader from Warren, MI USA
This is a university textbook from the University of Alaska, from classes taught by Yogi Nirvair Khalsa. If you have had the opportunity to view these classes (also available through Amazon), which were part of an actual Distance Learning college-level course, you know you are in for a treat. Nowhere else will you find such a complete guidebook to Kundalini Yoga. All of Nirvair's video workouts are contained within this book in their entirety, along with other goodies. Suitable for beginners, with intermediate and advanced series, as well as targeted series such as "Heal Your Back Now!", and a complete listing of all postures used individually. Best book on yoga out there!
