	The Science of Breath (Swami Rama) Ref: BK-RAMASCIEBRE Swami Rama People laughed at the image of pretzel-legged yogis focusing on the tip of their noses - until Swami Rama walked into a laboratory and showed scientists what a yogi with control over his respiration can actually do. Before astonished researchers, he demonstrated perfect control over his heart rate and brain waves - control physiologists hadn’t believed humans could possibly achieve. For thousands of years, yogic adepts have claimed that breath is the essential link between body and mind, energizing a 'subtle body' which connects the physical and mental aspects of our being. In this landmark book, Swami Rama and two noted American physicians explore the science of breath as the missing key to both physical health and the attainment of higher states of consciousness. Basic yogic breathing techniques are explained so that we can immediately begin working with this powerful ancient science. Price: £9.95 / €14.63

	Touched By Fire Ref: BK-TIGUTOUC When was the last time you felt "at peace"? Pandit Rajmani Tugunait If you're like most 21st century sojourners, you may have had a hard time answering that question. Peace is, after all, a word from the realm of spirituality. It's not always easy to hear the small voice over the cacophony of ringing cell phones, the constant blare of the TV and the discordant honks and curses of rush hour. This book, the autobiography of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, provides a glimpse of an entirely different way of living. Readers of "Touched By Fire" may follow this extraordinary man on a journey from his birth place in an ancient village in India to his current home in the rolling hills of north-eastern Pennsylvania, where he serves as spiritual head of the Himalayan Institute. Along the way you'll meet a variety of teachers who guided Tigunait in crafting a contemplative life filled with spiritual richness, wisdom and inner peace. This book is not a "how to" guide to enlightenment. Nor is it a "call" to any particular religious tradition. But in its description of Tigunait's life-the years of disciplined study and the struggle to master emotions like anger, despair, and pride-some of the keys are revealed. And its ultimate message, that we're all the same beneath our culture, religious and political facades, is desperately needed in our world of tumult and tears. Price: £12.99 / €19.10
