The sequences are also categorised and visually depicted for a better understanding.

The ancient yogis have always known about the immense powers that lie deep within all of us. How we think - our attitudes, outlook and mind-set - has a definite effect on what we are able to achieve in life. This view is exemplified in many of the most popular new age self-help and personal improvement strategies like "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," "How to Win Friends and Influence People," and "The Secret," just to name a few. In fact, at the heart of any strategy for positive personal transformation is one thing - changing the way you think. "The Yoga of Mind Control" presents a concise sketch of the yogic view of the mind, the nature of our thoughts and the critical role that they play in shaping our lives. More importantly, it outlines how to unlock that enormous mental potential for our own personal growth and success. It also illustrates how our thoughts can influence others and the world around us, and the powerful potential this personal force has for contributing to transformation on a global scale too. Our thoughts and their influence in creating who we are, what we are able to achieve in life, and even the state of the world around us, remains an untapped and potent force within all of us. The ancient yogis discovered exactly how to unlock that enormous inherent potential. "The Yoga of Mind Control - Mind Power Secrets of the Ancient Yogis" is a much-needed unveiling of that knowledge.

The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is the classic Hindu text on the spiritual practice of yoga. Written more than 2,000 years ago, these teachings provide a rich, contemplative understanding of yoga and philosophy. Derived from an ancient oral tradition, when the Divine feminine was worshiped, the Yoga Sutras were later taught by priests and scholars from a masculine tradition that obscured their deep wisdom. While there are many scholarly translations of the Yoga Sutras, in this book, best-selling author and shaman Alberto Villoldo reveals how these teachings are available to us at all times—without gurus, temples, or decades of study. Villoldo’s own fieldwork with the high shamans of the Americas has shown that the goals of shamanism and yoga are identical, and he demonstrates the parallels in their practices. In a series of short, inspirational passages from the Sutras, the reader is led toward self-realization and enlightenment in its simplest form. In this treasured book, Villoldo brings to life the spiritual teachings of yoga in a pure and practical way—stripped of dogma and brimming with poetry and spirit.
