Summary

Applying the teachings of this book will enliven your yoga practice and deepen your understanding of your Self.”- Gary Kraftsow, author of Yoga for Wellness and Yoga for Transformation Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is the key text of yoga. Yet for many yoga practitioners, its deeper treasures remain either unknown or mired in obscurity. Ranju Roy and David Charlton focus on 18 of the most important sutras and show how each one illuminates the relationship between the body, the breath, and the mind in a practical, clear, and contemporary manner. The sutras are carefully deconstructed, put into context and then developed into ideas for practice. The authors examine the interplay of three key terms: support, direction and space. They suggest that only by taking support on something can you establish a clear direction; and only then can a space open up to grow into. This formula can be applied as successfully to the body (in asana) as to the breath (in pranayama) and the mind (through meditation). With illustrated asana sequences and suggested practices, Embodying the Yoga Sutra is both a practical as well as a deeply philosophical book. Roy and Charlton give readers a whole new vocabulary with which to understand yoga as a living, vibrant and dynamic tradition.

    Chapter 1 
                The Early Signs of Monkey Branching 
    I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. 
     Maya Angelou 
    The definition of a monkey-branching relationship is similar to cheating. Monkey-branching occurs when people are considering other options while they are still in a relationship with their partner. 
    They do this to place down a safety net and secure a backup plan in case something goes wrong in their current relationship. 
    Essentially, a dumper that monkey-branches emotionally cheats on his or her current partner and eventually leaves for someone else. 
     1.They start gaslighting you. 
    This is the definition of gaslighting: manipulate someone by psychological means, be aware when someone start's gaslighting you.When someone gaslighting you they are accusing you of something they are doing.They will accuse you of cheating because they themselves are cheating and monkey branching. 
      2.They change hobbies and activities. 
      They don’t want to be around you too much, the things you used to do together to Bond together they don’t want to do it no more. Because they start losing interest in you and their mind is focusing on the new person that's taking your place.

    It is time for a new approach to weight loss.  No diet is permanently effective without this shift in consciousness happening first.  The first half of the 2-part weight loss series, this revolutionary program utilizes the power of the mind at all levels of consciousness to create a more harmonious environment for the cells of the body to safely increase metabolism. The technique used also helps to create a more harmonious environment for the cells of the body to function optimally and to loose unwanted weight.  The second part of the weight loss series, this program is remarkably powerful in creating a new, fit, slim mental image at all levels of the mind, which the systems, cells, metabolism, and habits begin to respond to. This program reframes, in the mind, both the habits and self-image to that of a healthy, slim person. I believe this is the key to permanent weight loss.
