I Am Writing A Book

[Shivani Devi]

I haven't started the actual book yet, but it's going to be a three-volume book based on my life experiences and all of the teachings I have received.

Out of my over 4000 posts, I would say about 500 of them are in depth articles relating to Meditation, Yoga, Hinduism and Spirituality how I learned it according to my tradition.

There is no book like it and a book I would like to have read myself...more like a magazine I wish I would have been out there for me to read years ago...so I am writing it for myself and also to leave a piece of me behind in the world, so that my existence has a purpose for future generations.

The reason why I am telling you all about it here, is because I already have an idea for the chapters (of the FIRST book):

Chapter 1 - Patanjali's Eightfold Path - An Exposition

Chapter 2 - The Ten Spiritual Virtues - Yamas

Chapter 3 - Trataka - Fixed Gazing Awareness and Techniques For Opening the Third Eye

Chapter 4 - Nadi Shodhana - Alternate Nostril Breathing and Breath Flow Regulation

Chapter 5 - Surya Namaskar - Salute to the Sun - The Ultimate Full Yoga Workout.

Chapter 6 - Sahaja Yoga - Low-Impact Yoga for Children and the Elderly.

Chapter 7 - Pratyahara - Withdrawing The Senses

Chapter 8 - Yoga Nidra, The Sleep of the Yogis

Chapter 9 - Rudra Granthi - The Last Psychic Knot

Chapter 10 - Arul Vaaku - The Hindu Spiritual Ecstatic Trance

Chapter 11 - Kundalini - The Vehicle of Consciousness

Chapter 12 - Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra - The Mantra of Immortality

Chapter 13 - Gayatri Mantra and the Rig Veda

Chapter 14 - Nirvana Shatakam - Adi Shankaracharya

Chapter 15 - The Ten Most Auspicious Forms of Shiva

Chapter 16 - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Overview

Chapter 17 - Challenging Negative Thoughts And Behaviours

Chapter 18 - Learning and Cultivating Patience

Chapter 19 - Kindness - Little Acts, Big Impacts

Chapter 20 - Jung and The Shadow

Then, there are going to be some other sections - Appendices:

B. Recipes - All my favourite vegetarian recipe dishes from Polynesia, Indonesia, Malaysia and South India.
C. Ayurvedic Herbs and remedies - Stuff like Ginger, Turmeric, Kava Kava, Garlic, Brahmi, Shilajit, Chawan Pryash, Fenugreek, Guava Leaves etc

This is the basic outline of the book.
