This book is unique because it truly does capture the best of East and West in a modern synthesis of purely efficient, concise, and powerful "psychic" tech­ niques combined with breath and posture-thus enabling you to use the Mind­ Body interface constructively for health, long life, and psychic and spiritual development. This is, in every sense, a "workbook." Dr. Mumford provides exact, step­ by-step guidance to the progressive Mind-Body exercises. Yet, as concise as it is, there is humor in this text. And there is inspiration. In the final section you will discover a beautiful Tantric Ritual that demonstrates how there are "levers" with which you can transform the everyday moment into one of tran­ scendence. When you spend only a few minutes each day on these exercises, you will build a solid experience of psycho-physiological techniques that promote bet­ ter health and greater control over your personal destiny. At the same time, you will lay a solid foundation for the subsequent chapters in which you can look forward to the attainment of supernormal powers, an enriched Inner Life, and ultimate enlightenment. This book is neither a quick fix nor a panacea. The exercises are grounded in classical technique, with contemporary innovations, and developed over a lifetime of learning, experimenting, and teaching. The text has been aug­ mented with illustrations and tables to help bridge the gap between instruction and understanding.
