DR. ADITYA GAIT
s a young surgeon in training. I experienced a life-changing moment when a patient whom I had been supervising suddenly left his body. I had hoped that he would recover, as he had shown signs of improvement. But when I rushed to his room I found only a lifeless form: a body that had just a few minutes before been vibrating with life as it spoke with me, but that was now limp in death. I had a sense that something sacred had taken place, but I didn't know what it was.
My medical books held no answers to the questions that now as-sailed me. Noticing my distracted state, my colleagues tried to cheer me up, inviting me to find relief in a cup of tea, and suggesting that I sim-ply forget about it and move on. "This happens every day," they said.
Not convinced, I spent many months seeking answers to my questions about life and death: Who are we? Where do we come from? How can we remain in a state of perfect health in body, mind, and spirit?
My quest eventually led me to the teachings of a world-renowned spiritual master, Paramhansa Yogananda. For every question I asked, I found an answer. 1 dove deeply into his teachings, where I discovered healing principles that promised to take me beyond the frontiers of matter and demystify life and death.
I was fortunate to be helped along the way by a number of wonderful teachers whose lives and wisdom have deeply inspired me. One such treasured guide is Shivani Lucki.
I met Shivani for the first time in 2009, when I attended a week-end retreat on healing that she gave. The clarity and insights that she brought to her classes made me one of her most avid attendees. Over the ensuing years we have shared many deep conversations.
Dynamic and strong-willed, Shivani is an inspiration for me and countless others. I remember how she suffered a fall and fractured her ankle - and refused to allow the fracture to stop her daily practice of the Energization Exercises, which she did in her wheelchair.
As with her many other serviceful endeavors, Life Force is steeped in deep devotion to her subject, enriched with deep and persistent exploration, and permeated with meditation-born insights.
T the power to heal ourselves and others to channel healing energy to is too often considered a special talent of the rare few. In fact, it is a gift we all have, that we can discover and develop with the right practices. The human body, mind, and soul have tremendous resources to adapt, survive, and thrive in every circumstance.
Modern life is not conducive to good health. Pollution, climate change, sensory overload, all make this a time in which healthy. happy living is becoming harder to find, and a challenge to maintain. And we never know when a "karmic bomb" may explode in our lives. The techniques here will help improve your quality of life now, and prepare you to cope with whatever challenges may come.
If you are presently enjoying good health, this book will help you achieve an even more dynamic state of wellbeing.
If you are prone to illness, anxiety, fear, and disappointments, or if your energy reserves are flagging, this book can set you on a path to physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional stability, and inner peace.
Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, repeatedly demonstrated a God-given power to heal. Yet his primary mission was not to show his uniqueness, but to empower all of us to heal our-selves: body, heart, mind, and soul. Simply stated, "To take charge of our own health."
In the fifty years that I have studied, practiced, and taught the techniques I share in this book, I have experienced their tremendous healing power countless times. The inspiring personal stories included throughout the book testify to their remarkable value.
With daily Life Force techniques my crippling fatigue is a thing of the past, and I have enough vital energy again to garden and volunteer with needy children.-Jenny, Switzerland.
After my near-fatal accident the doctors said my recovery would take at least twelve months. Lying in the hospital bed I did the Life Force exercises many times each day. After fifteen days I was dismissed from the hospital, and after three months I am back to my normal life. -Vinu, New Delhi The treatment for the tumor close to my spine left me unable to walk. The doctor said I would need to stay in the hospital for a long time. I did the Life Force exercises mentally as I lay in the hospital. After three days, I started to walk, and very soon the amazed doctor dismissed me. -Rinus. Netherlands.
In this Life Force trilogy, my aim is to offer you a how-to-do-it manual of the full spectrum of Yogananda's teaching on self-healing, including materials not easily available before.
In volume one you will learn how to access and channel the healing power of Life Force. In volume two you will learn mental super-powers to heal yourself and others. Volume three teaches subtle laws of magnetism and attraction to improve relationships, increase financial abundance, and protect against harmful vibrational influences. An epilogue, "Transition and Transcendence," talks about death, dying, and the world beyond.
I wish you health, happiness, success, and Self-realization. As you read this book, keep in mind these words of the great Himalayan master, Mahavatar Babaji.
he book you have in hand is the first volume in the Life Force I trilogy-Prana, Mind. Magnetism-three guidebooks for your journey to better health. Together they represent an overarching view of Paramhansa Yogananda's teachings and techniques for self-healing and Self-realization.
Volume One, Prana, takes us back to the very beginning, when Life Force becomes the power that fashions creation. Yogananda shows us how to harness that power and use it to infuse our bodies with vitality. That force also gives rise to the eternal struggle between the soul and the ego, the root cause of all disease. Through the pages and practices of this book, you will learn how to reconcile these two protagonists through techniques of meditation; how to regenerate the cells and organs of your body with Yogananda's Energization Exercises; and how to nourish yourself and keep your body free from impurities with his dietary and detox recipes. A fascinating section in this volume presents Yogananda's techniques for utilizing the sun's power for self-healing.
Volume Two, Mind, highlights the superpowers of the conscious, subconscious, and superconscious dimensions of the mind. It offers extensive advice for breaking the stranglehold of negative habits, for using affirmations to carve new thought habits in the brain, and for learning to cooperate with the highest source of healing-Divine Love.
Volume Three, Magnetism, reveals how the Law of Attraction operates in our lives: how it draws us into contact with friends from past lives; and how we can use it to attract the economic and human resources for a successful career.
The final chapter of the trilogy demonstrates how we can attune ourselves to the subtle, vibratory healing frequencies of mantra and music; of nature, holy places, and inspiring people. Important techniques are given to reinforce the magnetic aura which protects us from negative influences that threaten our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and well-being.
We are not alone in this quest. Some of those who have come before us, in ages past and in our times, those who have reached the summit of what it means to be a fully Self-realized being, have left us guidelines for our own achievements. One such recent guide is Paramhansa Yogananda.
Paramhansa Yogananda
Author of the enduring spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi bi Yogananda is universally regarded as an enlightened spiritual master of modern times. He had the remarkable gift of distilling the essential wisdom of India's great scriptures and presenting them in what he called "how-to-live teachings." useful and accessible to us today.
Yogananda was born in India in 1893, on the cusp of the beginning of Dwapara Yuga, the Age of Energy, which according to his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar, started in 1899. Ushering in this new age were the discoveries of Albert Einstein and Nicolai Tesla on the nature of matter and energy.
In the first decade of the twentieth century alone, the landmark inventions included radio, radar, and the electrocardiogram, to name a few. Energy now powers all our systems of transportation, communication, and the countless gad-gets that simplify and enhance our daily lives.
When Yogananda arrived on the shores of the New World in 1910, around the time the Wright brothers had taken flight and Henry Ford had produced the Model T, the timing was right and people were eager to learn techniques of self-improvement that were based on principles of Energy.
Although Yogananda is not remembered primarily as a miracle healer, in his early lecture tours across America he gave many public demonstrations of the power of self-healing. On October 21, 1924. he held a first "public divine healing meeting" in Portland, Oregon. During a healing program at his headquarters at Mt. Washington in Los Angeles on November 1, 1925, he healed a woman of crippling neuritis, after which she was able to walk without crutches.
In Washington, D.C. in 1927, a reported sooo people attended his healing program. It was at this time that he was invited to the White House where he met with President Calvin Coolidge.
