Health and Healing in Yoga

"Health and Healing in Yoga" by The Mother is a profound book that explores the secret inner causes of health and disease directly from the spiritual teacher known as The Mother, the collaborator of Sri Aurobindo. The book emphasizes that the physical body is an expression of subtler bodies and is surrounded by a nervous envelope through which disease must first penetrate before affecting the physical form. It discusses methods of mastering the body's functioning based on a deeper knowledge of these subtler levels influencing physical health. The book is composed of extracts from The Mother's writings and talks, organized to provide lucid insights into health from a yogic and spiritual perspective. It covers various dimensions like asana, pranayama, meditation, and other yogic aspects that affect health and healing.
