Summary: Precise and the point
Comment: Dr. John Mumford manages to give clear techniques for both advanced and beginner students in this book. With his backround knowledge in psychology he introduces yoga and its philosophy to a westerner like never before. I think that the book is under-rated here. However, importance lies down in actual practice and a serious student can see progress when he applies 12 week program. I recommend it to anyone who is a practitioner not a collector.

Summary: I liked it
Comment: It has some very easy to work exercises and good info within it. Not perfect by a long shot but it deserves a read or two because Dr. Mumford is very clear in his writings. Goes well with his tattwa card boxed set and would make an excellent addition to Bardon's Initiation into Hermetics book.

Summary: Relaxation is key to all life's problems
Comment: Why five stars? Simple. This book is simple. It is straight foward, easy to use, and safe. Why, after all that has been said, do I claim this book is safe? There is only one chapter on kundalini activation, and it is only in an indirect fashion, that activation occurs. The book focusses on sitting and relaxation techniques. The emphasis is on attentive awareness, cultivated to the point of concentration. There are no techniques in the entire book which would produce any explosive psychic reactions. Taking the alarmist position can be remedied with a perview of antero alli's angel tech, the article on kundalini crackups is particularly enlightening. The main exercise involving the kundalini is the solar plexus charging technique, by which the practitioner concentrates on an internally generated heat until absorbsion of the bodymind process saturates awareness with heat. This experience of laya is an indirect experience of the kundalini energy, centered in the manipura chakra, the center of balance and equilibrium. I suggest starting with chapter one, use the chakra meditation from magical tattwas, or the suhum gayatri from death and dying. Do it fourteen days before moving on. You don't need them to achieve progress however, remember the technique is the goal. Achieving relaxation and self-mastery are in fact noble goals we should all hope to attain in our lifetime, I believe.

Summary: In response to previous reviewers
Comment: Some previous reviewers such as "rain cloud" has declared himself god and has declared other people's pains and feelings unimportant. What he and others like him (and there are far too many of them) fails to realize is that just as a drug might give no side effects to one person, it may give horrifying side effects to another. This is the way kundalini works. Just because you happen to be part of the majority that do not feel any side effects from kundalini, it would ignorant, careless, unfeeling, self centered, self absorptive, and stupid of you to think that other people won't experience it either. In addition, it would be selfish, irresponsible, unaccountable, and even criminal of you to preach kundalini as if there were no dangers or precautions to beware of. You are playing with fire and playing with fate itself. You are playing with other people's lives and potentially destroying lives.
There may or may not be an ultimate good effect to kundalini, but is it worth the hell it can give to some people? Is this a deal with the devil?
Approach kundalini with caution. If you feel sideffects from a kundalini procedure then stop before you hurt yourself real bad. Another big problem with kundalini is that you don't know if you went too far until it is too late. The side effects sometimes takes up to 24 hours to "kick in" after a kundalini session, so if anything, the initial session should be very brief and very light - not the overloaded stuff advertised by this book.
Finally, if the Bible's book of genesis warns of the "serpent" (a.k.a. kundalini ) who decieves you with occult powers in exchange for your own alienation from god, how can you trust it? Gopi Krishna, a well known sufferer of kundalini hell, concluded in his books that there was no God, only a mindless energy that permeates all. This shows that kundalini has alienated him from God to a far higher degree than adam and eve when they were expelled from eden.
This may very well be a counterfeit spirituality. The bible has stated "A tree can be judged by its fruits". Knowing the hell that this serpent can do, what kind of tree do you think it is ? In addition to the physical and mental horrors, a lot of people have reported involuntary actions that make them act like snakes - including postures and hissing ! A lot of people have reported a helpless feeling like an angry demon or evil spirit is taking over their body. Unlike a lot of other things that produce side effects, Kundalini's side effects are known to commonly last a lifetime.
Another example of "A tree can be judged by its fruits" is the character of a lot of these kundalini instructors. For example, if they talk a lot about love and spirituality, yet they often burst out in rages of anger, that should tell you that something is not quite right.
Instead of diving into this risky snake pit of kundalini, I would recommend that you should consult a gifted pastor or individual with the power of Jesus in him.

Summary: It works! Faster than DSL or CABLE!
Comment: Ok, seriously...results will vary. Was this book so dangerous as others claimed it to be? Did it hold some magical blue print to a secret system that was somehow hidden away all this time from the general public? It sure sounded like it when I read the reviews on this workbook. All this danger and enhanced psychic powers for under $20 bucks! Truly, "AMAZING"...I thought to myself. So with my anxious trembling hand, I reached over and guided my mouse to the check out button. With one swift click I added the workbook to my Amazon.com shopping cart. Didn't sleep much, too much anticipating. When finally, it ( the dangerous workbook ) arrived. Good thing, reading the cover didn't make my kundalini rise up and kill me.(Just Kidding) Looking inside the workbook didn't make my chakras spin off my etheric body and leave me a hollow shell either. (I'm Kidding ok.) If I paid more than $20 for this workbook...well that might have given my blood pressure a dangerous spike upwards. So far so good. The workbook was simply just that, a workbook. I'm glad I purchased it. It will help with my study on Manifestation.
