Millions of people meditate daily but can meditative practices really make us ‘better’ people? In The Buddha Pill, pioneering psychologists Dr Miguel Farias and Catherine Wikholm put meditation and mindfulness under the microscope. Separating fact from fiction, they reveal what scientific research – including their groundbreaking study on yoga and meditation with prisoners – tells us about the benefits and limitations of these techniques for improving our lives. As well as illuminating the potential, the authors argue that these practices may have unexpected consequences, and that peace and happiness may not always be the end result. Offering a compelling examination of research on transcendental meditation to recent brain-imaging studies on the effects of mindfulness and yoga, and with fascinating contributions from spiritual teachers and therapists, Farias and Wikholm weave together a unique story about the science and the delusions of personal change.

Yogi Bhajan said, "Now we are entering the Age of Aquarius and we have to have the science of mind totally brought into a geometry so that you can understand this is depression, this is expression; this is what you are doing and this is what you have to do. So for that reason, we are trying to create all this work for you." Every living thing has its own time to grow from a seed to its innate maturity. May it provide a foundation for elevation and enlightenment to all who love meditation.

Kundalini yoga is the ancient parent science of all other forms of yoga and meditation, and a clinically proven therapeutic modality that can have significant healing effects for a wide range of mental health complaints and disorders, from the moderate to the more severe. This comprehensive resource explains the yogic approach to treating psychiatric disorders that are not covered in Shannahoff-Khalsa’s first book, including the variants of schizophrenia; the ten variants of personality disorders that include borderline, paranoid, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder; and also autism, Asperger’s, and multimorbidities. Here, he presents a bounty of disorder-specific, multi-part Kudalini yoga meditation protocols never before published for treating complex psychiatric disorders. In addition to offering a host of techniques, the etiology of each disorder is also carefully explained from a yogic perspective. Filled with case studies that help to illuminate the suggested protocols, this thorough volume will guide clinicians on how to incorporate Kundalini yoga meditation techniques into their own practices.

Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®"The Kundalini is known as the nerve of the soul. This is to be awakened. Your soul is to be awakened. When soul gets awakened, there remains nothing... If your soul is awakened, what else do you need?"- Yogi Bhajan.Kundalini Yoga is an oral tradition dating back hundreds if not thousands of years. In the early 1970's, when this ancient technology was being presented, students would patiently wait to hear from fellow students and teachers what Yogi Bhajan had just taught. Students took notes, made drawings and passed them on... In a certain sense it was revolutionary that this sacred, once secret science was being recorded and distributed. Never, in history, had this been done before.It was very exciting when a Kriya-write up, manual or a "Beads of Truth"-magazine became available and when the Meditation Manual for Intermediate Students was published and distributed, it was a revelation. So many amazing Kriyas! It felt like as long as one had this manual, one could practice Kundalini Yoga for the rest of the life. It was like having the security of a treasure that would never diminish or get old.This wonderful book: KRIYA - Yoga Sets, Meditations & Classic Kriyas contains many of the Kriyas from the Meditation Manual for Intermediate Students as well as many previously unpublished Kriyas from that era. Some of the models in the book are children of original student-teachers of Yogi Bhajan...You will enjoy these effective and powerful Kundalini Yoga Kriyas. By practicing them, you can uplift yourself and inspire yourself to try some of these again and again!KRIYA - Yoga Sets, Meditations & Classic Kriyas from the Early Teachings of Yogi Bhajan contains:Challenging physical Kundalini Yoga Kriyas from the 1970s and 1980sMore than 100 Meditations, including Visualizations, Praanayams, Silent Meditations, and Meditations with MantraIncludes Material from the Meditation Manual for Intermediate Students, K.R.I.Y.A., Under the Blue Skies, and more!
