Attaining Samadhi through sound is Nada Yoga.
Samadhi is the experience of pure consciousness that transcends mind and body. On the path to experiencing pure consciousness, an individual discovers the wisdom of the body, emotional and cognitive intelligence, the union of body and mind (atman or soul), and the expansion of Atman into Nada Braham or Shabd Braham (God of Sound or Word).
Beyond the experience of Nada-Brahman comes the realization of the Nirgun Brahman or pure consciousness.
Nada means the flow of sound and Yoga means Union. Nada Yoga is the process of the union of the individual mind with cosmic consciousness through the flow of sounds.

Meditation is one of the techniques used in stress management. A person who is riddled with problems often finds it hard to focus; which often leads to more problems cropping up due to their mistakes.
Meditation techniques help a person achieve a calm state of mind without having to resort to drugs or relaxation tools and implements. Every step of meditation is done in the mind.
The selection of yoga books that we propose below looks at the asanas (postures) that manage to tone the body and keep it graceful and in shape, which is not small. But the look is broader because yoga is much more. In this list of yoga books, there are classic works and others very new.
Ever been unable to sleep because you can’t switch off that stream of thoughts that seem to flow incessantly, mercilessly through your head?
When your mental noise distracts you from the task at hand, makes you forget why you walked into a room, or keeps you awake at night, you’re a victim of what is known in the East as “the monkey mind”. It is this thought stream that, according to Eastern tradition, is the source of much of our modern-day stress and mental dysfunction. So, what can you do about it?
The reason behind addictions and harmful habits of any kind is the lack of the optimal functioning of the brain which leads to brain dormancy. Such a state of dormancy is either the result of deficiency in the neuro-chemicals in the brain, or due to conditioning done by the family, society and culture. The conditioning is like a prison for the brain, where the brain can’t access its own resources.
A partially functioning brain has access to only a fraction of its resources. Physiologically, the brain that is not functioning optimally lacks the proper balance of the neuro-chemicals, which then leads to low mood and lack of happiness in daily life.

The timeless and infinite Truth remains the same, but its interpretation differs according to the time and culture. We constantly need to reinterpret the Truth to make it contemporary.
In ancient times, Truth was described through the metaphors of the Earth and body (Earth religions). In the Middle Ages, it was expressed through the concept of God, angels, and deities (faith-based religions). But in our time, those symbols and metaphors are slowly disappearing. The modern era needs another interpretation of Truth urgently.

Enlightenment is often described as an esoteric, mystical, and supernatural process that cannot be explained in terms of nature, biology, and science. Nature, biology, and science are considered to be part of material existence, while enlightenment is thought of beyond material existence, reason, and analysis. It is a common notion that biology and spirituality, as well as science and the sacred, are entirely different domains of experience. One cannot be explained by the other.

There are two vantage points from which to approach this question. The first is from a spiritual point of view and other is from a scientific perspective. As you will see in the following however, the two approaches become inextricably connected.
In the last two decades, research work on Yoga has clarified what happens to the body, brain and mind when people consistently practice Yoga poses:
- Although the brain feels the body, that feeling is not a conscious one. During Yoga poses, a person becomes aware of the body and the brain gets a full conscious orientation of it in space and time. With full consciousness, the body moves naturally and without fear.

Often in Yoga, Brahmacharya is equated with celibacy.
Is there truth in this belief?
The Sanskrit word Brahmacharya comes from ‘Brah’ meaning expansion (of consciousness) and Charya means to follow. The full meaning of Brahmacharya then, is to follow the path of Brahma or expansion of consciousness.
