This, A Yoga & Meditation Companion, is also for yoga practitioners to guide themselves and expand the at-home practice by incorporating after pranayama yogic breathing techniques and easing into meditation. This book of poetry teaches the philosophy of: o Building lasting worth by embracing moments of healing. o Developing unwavering empowerment by quieting demand of ego. o Uncovering perpetual joy by establishing a relationship with self. o Illuminating higher purpose by suspending mistrust of the unknown. o Channeling ultimate creativity by holding proper principles. o Receiving infinite abundance by clinging to correct response. Experience the sacred shift of opening the heart by embodying the intrinsic energy field of these 92 haiku-off the mat.
