YOGA PSYCHOLOGY

This book goes far beyond what is studied in traditional science of psychology. Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti explains and enhances this science by methodically explaining the framing behind the traditions of yoga and Tantra. This book delves deep into the esoteric basis of the practice of meditation, its goal and the various parts comprising the totality of Tantra. It begins with the understanding that the mind has a separate existence and is not a function of the brain and its neural network; then it goes into our the yogic concept of cakras (or plexi, psycho-spiritual centers) and the various biological glands associated with each one, their propensities and how they impact on various human behaviour traits. He also discusses how our personality is influenced by all our past actions and by a range of environmental factors going far beyond what is conventionally contemplated by psychology. This understanding is essential to success in spiritual practices.
