Namaste and thank you for such a warm, enlightened response.
Most of what I know in regards to Yoga and Meditation comes from listening to what we call 'Inner Guru' which develops as a product of sustained mindfulness. When we are not consciously aware of what we have, then we cannot be subconsciously aware of what more we need.
I was a qualified Yoga and Meditation teacher, studying under Swami Chidanandaji of the Divine Life Society (Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy) in Rishikesh, India for a few years. I need a 'refresher course' though.
I also started studying this when I was 10-11 by reading the whole set of Tuesday Lobsang Rampa books (which were all the rage back then). Yes, it took us ALL about 10 years to discover the Tibetan Sage was only a 'plumber from Bristol'. Still, it was pretty good (until he started going on about all his cats).
This led me on to four books that would serve me well for many years:
1. The Tibetan Book Of The Dead - Unknown
2. The Tao Te Ching - Lao Tsu
3. The Serpent Fire And The Powers Latent In Man - Arthur Avalon (Sir John Woodroffe)
4. Grist For The Mill - Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) and Stephen Levine
I am not using any resources right now...I mean not that I have poured over and memorised enough already.
Again, I thank you kindly and wish you peace.
Aum Namah Shivaya
