Magic Behind the Heart: A Yoga & Meditation Companion

By AJ Stroik

Magic Behind the Heart is a book for yoga instructors to inspire students and deepen the class experience—on the mat—by reciting at the start, middle, or end of sessions. 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.
