New! - A Learning Kit – CD and Booklet
$32.00 + taxes $4.16 = $36.16 (add $6.00 for shipping and handling if within Canada, $12.00 for international- no taxes are charged when ordered from outside of Canada) The philosophy of Patanjali represents an irreproachable thought for the ones who are on the path of transformation, of emancipation. Patanjali expresses himself with pragmatic surety though he is describing an abstract reality; that of human consciousness and its potential. The direct experience that he had is obvious, he understands the aspirant and directs him with compassion and understanding. Patanjali leads us beyond duality, gradually. In Samaadhi Paad, the first chapter of the Yog Sûtras, Patanjali describes various meditation techniques and a basic understanding of the psychology of Yoga. Each of the 51 verses of the Samaadhi Paad carries an equal importance, leading the intellect towards it’s source, towards the calm and lucidity of the pure Consciousness as One and All-permeating. In this learning kit you will find a CD and a learning booklet in which each Sanskrit word and verse is translated, chanted and explained. This philosophy contains many direct meditation techniques plus insights into the workings of the human mind. This learning kit will be useful for both teachers and students. Also available in French here “An amazing and scholarly work that explains simply and powerfully the many levels of Patanjali’s teachings on what it is to be human and divine.” Mary Elford, Yoga and Meditation Instructor “This Yoga Sûtra kit is a joy to listen to and an indispensable study and practice guide for committed students and yoga teachers. It is destined to become a standard in every yogi’s library…” Sylvie Gouin, Registered Nutrition Consultant, Practitioner and Register Yoga and Meditation Teacher “This Patanjali CD is truly outstanding.

Je lis ton livre que je savoure encore, que j'ai l'intention de relire et relire. De fermer mes yeux , respirer et réfléchir, me fera le plus grand bien. Je suis enchantée dès les premières pages du livre, j'aime ton style d'écriture concis, clair, imagé et sensible...Il me manquait tes propos si judicieux, si doux, si compatissants et si éclairés afin de me convaincre de mon inertie et autant j'ai cherché et expérimenté bien des méthodes et techniques pour trouver ma paix, autant je me suis égarée dans des méandres..Je te remercie de me redonner le goût de méditer...et aussi simplement que tu le proposes...J'ai aimé cette démystification, cette grande simplicité dans la complexité de cet Art...." Liette Prévost, Animatrice, Radio CFEL, Montmagny, Québec
"Chère Lynne, Je résumerais mon expérience de lecture de la façon suivante : Ce livre est un véritable ensemencement. Il provient du gland concentré des Écritures anciennes. Cet épanouissement littéraire ne peut provenir que de l’aspiration spirituelle la plus universelle. À vous lecteurs d’en découvrir les fruits!" Monica Pecek "Cet ouvrage est plein de sagesse et d’espoir, il convient aussi bien au néophyte qu`à celui qui veut approfondir sa spiritualité. Lynne Cardinal nous introduit à de grands sages comme Patanjali, dont la pensée donnait un sens à la vie et traçait une voie vers la paix intérieure et le contentement. Lynne nous montre que cet état de paix intérieure et de bonheur ne peut être atteint par l’intellect et la raison seuls, mais plutôt par la pratique régulière de la méditation, qui ancrera la pensée dans l’harmonie du moment présent, au-delà des illusions créées par l’ego. Son ouvrage, écrit dans un langage simple, est un guide pour ceux qui cherchent un sens à la vie." Jean-Marc Métivier
"La lecture de ce livre me permet de faire une synthèse de mon apprentissage en méditation et aussi renforce mon intérêt et ma curiosité face à la méditation. Écrit dans un langage accessible à tous, ce manuscrit devient un outil concret pour ceux qui cherchent à se connaître davantage. Ce texte positif et encourageant est important dans le contexte actuel de grands bouleversements, il aide chacun à croire en la possibilité de travailler ses pensées et ses propres conflits. Ce manuscript donne espoir et surtout, il inspire à la pratique de la méditation." Chantal Mignault
"On ressent immédiatement l'enthousiasme et l'expertise de l'auteure. En partageant avec nous les concepts de la méditation, et ce avec simplicité et clarté, elle réussit dès le début à nous convaincre d'entreprendre cette discipline, pratique et assainissante de tous les points de vue. " Fleur-Ange Lefebvre PhD, Professeure -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
WHAT SCIENCE
KNOWS ABOUT MEDITATION A study conducted by university researchers is the first to suggest that
meditation may have positive biological effects on the body's ability
to fight infection and disease. Also, the meditation group exhibited increased
activity in the left side of the frontal part of the brain, indicating
lower anxiety levels and a more positive emotional state. In "The Meditative Mind: The Varieties of Meditation Experience", Daniel Goleman, psychologist and frequent writer for The New York Times, summarizes a number of remarkable physical and physiological effects of meditation : * Probably the single most reported physiological benefit of meditation
— indeed, of systematic relaxation techniques generally —
is the drop in blood pressure. Even the National Institutes of Health
(NIH) have recommended meditation (along with salt and dietary restrictions)
above prescription drugs as the first treatment for mild hypertension. Other meditation research has demonstrated this wide range of psychological benefits: * Improvement in measurements of personality Of special interest is Daniel Goleman's own research demonstrating the greater tolerance for stress by those who meditate. He gives us some insight into how meditation accomplishes this: People who are chronically anxious or who have a psychosomatic disorder share a specific pattern of reaction to stress; their bodies mobilize to meet the challenge, then fail to stop reacting when the problem is over. Their bodies stay aroused for danger when they should be relaxed, recouping spent energies and gathering resources for the next brush with stress. The anxious person meets life's normal events as though they were crises. Each minor happening increases his tension, and his tension in turn magnifies the next ordinary event — a deadline, an interview, a doctor's appointment — into a threat. Because the anxious person's body stays mobilized after one event has passed, he has a lower threat threshold for the next. Had he been in a relaxed state, he would have taken the second event in stride. A meditator handles stress in a way that breaks up the threat 'arousal' threat spiral. The meditator relaxes after a challenge passes, more often than the non-meditator. This makes him unlikely to see innocent occurrences as harmful. He perceives threat more accurately, and reacts with arousal only when necessary. Once aroused, his rapid recovery makes him less likely than the anxious person to see the next deadline as a threat. (From The Meditative Mind, pp. 164-165) From Creative Meditation by Richard Peterson, Ph.D. A.R.E. Press, 1990. Meditation is the key to relaxation and Stress Management.
