The Practice of Nada Yoga: Meditation on the Inner Sacred Sound

An interesting book for anyone who wants to learn more about a very important meditation technique. Since I already have a guru in this specific method I don't personally follow the step by step instructions in the book but they seem good enough for anyone who wants to try this out. It does make a lot of reference to Hathayoga Pradipika which is interesting from a historical point of view. Sound meditation is mentioned in many traditions, hindu, sikh and buddhist among them.Apart from teaching a way of meditation this book can also give a different perspective on tinnitus, a "problem" I have too. It's not the main point of the book, by far but the insight given is worth a lot. Basically the point is that instead of thinking of the condition as a curse you can change your perspective and see it as a blessing.

For the price I paid I was expecting something more inspiring and with more concrete information on Nada Yoga. As a musician studying acoustics and yoga practitioner myself, I think the author focuses too much on his own story and provides very simple meditation ideas. A few are good, but he could have explored them further. At some points, he does not talk only about Nada Yoga but about many other things, which seemed a little bit out of focus. It may be OK for a completely beginner though and I appreciate the effort the author had to put all these things together, but I wish it had more valuable information on Nada Yoga since there is much more to talk about and many other types of meditations exploring sound.

No me da tiempo a devolverlo porque lo necesito para estudiar, pero para lo que cuesta deberían tener más cuidado con el mantenimiento de los libros nuevos... Espero que haya sido un caso aislado, pero no recomiendo pedir este libro para regalar.

good read

useful, becoz many of the secrets which are very very simple but unknown to us. this wonderful book reveals those,

Let me start by saying that I read almost everything that is out there on Nada Yoga and I have practiced it for a while now.The Indian and eastern texts on the topic of Yoga in general tend to cast a cloud of mysticism on Yoga in general and use ancient teachings that are difficult to understand for any modern seeker. There are allot of barriers to learning and practicing yoga and the author is one of the few who have started breaking them down by offering a description of his understanding and personal insights into the topic rather than a myriad of quotes and obscure practices.Yoga is simple and natural, I expect many western books to emerge over the next few years in which the authors will have the courage to share their personal honest insight into the theory and the practice.Although the author calls it Nada yoga but he explains a whole comprehensive meditations system. Different yoga methods are variations on the same theme but the mysticism that surrounds the topics hinders that deeper understanding of it.If you are a beginner in yoga or nada yoga this is an excellent place to start !!

Nothing new in the book. May be okay for beginners.
