This often results in severe backache, frozen shoulder, difficulty in walking and body pain. All this affects the quality of life and work, yet we don’t do anything about it and keep putting it off. 'Desktop Yoga' solves your dilemma in a flash because it gives you simple and effective yoga exercises that you can do at your desk itself.』

(Meditations by a shrink) 『Actually, Gael Chiarella is a life coach, and listening to this c.d. is like meditating with a life coach, rather than a yogini. It might work for some, but I found the wording and imagery especially off-putting. For example, in meditation 2, we're instructed to make positive affirmations about ourselves, like "I am the master of my destiny" and "I am courage in action". Hardly yoga-oriented in the emphasis on the ego, and hard to take seriously in any case. In the final relaxation, she intones over and over "I am peaceful and safe in the arms of my breath." Whatever.』
(Very relaxing) 『This is a great CD set for relaxation. I use it the most in the car, which is probably not the optimal setting, but nonetheless it keeps me relaxed in traffic. Gael's voice and intonation are so very soothing, and the background music compliments her meditations. I was happily impressed with this set.』

Nevertheless, the Letters on Yoga (volume I-III) are somewhat exceptions to me where this great yogi came down to the level of his followers answering their questions or clearing up their doubts. A great book to understand and realize his unique path of yoga and how to overcome the difficulties in the path. A great book to help sustain the yoga practices amidst difficulties and uncertainties.』 『This second impression of Letters on Yoga is a facsimile reproduction of the Sri Aurobindo Birth Centenary Library edition in reduced format; only a few typographical errors have been rectified and an index added.』

"sometimes it feels though, that it could be much simpler then it is presented". final suggestion: the book doesnt leave any open spaces - but is quite heavy and not very enjoyable to read"』 『This book forms one of the six Darsanas of ancient Indian philosophy. The main purpose of this book is to disclose the secret doctrines of Yoga, give the partical knowledge to the aspirant and guide him to the realization of the Individual Self to the realization of the Supreme Self.』

When it arrived I decided to do the exercises so I could better help her. Well, I fell in love with the feeling the yoga exercises in this book gave my body.

(This book was easy to read with easily followed instructions) 『As a yoga student as well as an instructor, I found this book an excellent resource for a beginner of any age.

The Distracted Centipedeis about awakening to the unified sense of your whole being— body, mind, spirit — through the practice of Yoga and Mindfulness. It is about listening and tuning in to your body, gradually realising that wholeness can only be retrieved by identifying and letting go of unnecessary holding on. If you can stop straining you might discover that inside that tense, unbalanced body there is a 'sensible body' which can be effortlessly at ease, with the energy flowing freely and the mind becoming calm. In the midst of the mental storm there is stillness where we can experience our presence.
Who is this book for?
It is for everybody, regardless of age, physical condition, sex, or religious beliefs. It is based on the common sense that our mental, physical and spiritual health depends on our being able to take on the management of our inner world . . . by entering the journey of becoming aware, letting go of our restrictive conditioning and opening our heart to love. It is never too early and never too late to start and continue!
It is profoundly relevant to how we live our ordinary, everyday lives, and opens the possibility of transforming and uplifting the ordinary to the extraordinary without special techniques and without jumping on the bandwagon of yet another and latest healing fad, regimen or guru.
There's an implicit assertion here, namely, that the ordinary is truly extraordinary and would be realised as such if only we, in the form of our habitual, distracted selves, could keep out of the way of that realisation. 'The Distracted Centipede' shows a way to find all that is needed just as we are, acknowledging our relationship to the forces at play through and around us . . . and, in the course of that, being on course for relationships of greater ease, authenticity and responsibility with others.
Every midwife, obstetrician, birth coach, all the experts who want to help women to give birth might do well to meditate upon these few lines of wise poetry. The martial arts, yoga, meditation, music, dance, and singing - all teach, transmit the same wisdom: GET OUT OF THE WAY!
Life knows how to bring new life into this world. Life knows how to protect itself. Life lives us. We are not surviving because of our cleverness and heroic efforts; we survive in spite of them. Faith is surrender to that which lives us. Life knows how to walk the centipede; the self-conscious centipede doesn't. Toad's question became a debilitating distraction.
