All along Yogiraj Siddhanath's yogic journey, as years passed by, he practiced and moved into techniques that were most natural to him. With the grace of Babaji he developed a dynamic process of healing oneself and others. He called it Otprot-Surya meaning, "osmotic solar healing" and evolved the system of Surya Yoga, the science of pranic-healing with solar power. Prana is described in the Indian yogic texts and treatises as "the breath of life" or "life force energy"; a subtle element or entity underlying the fabric of all of creation, animating sentient beings with consciousness and life. It is the vibratory power that sustains us throughout our cycles of reincarnation, imparting life to all the different bodies we incarnate in. It is our soul potential, expressed in the human being as one's individual vitality. Knowledge of this majestic undercurrent and the science of channeling its awesome power, for pranic-healing and advancement along the evolutionary path to enlightenment, is the most cherished undertaking, unlocking the inner mysteries of soul and Divinity. Prana is "life" and pranayama is the yogic extension or control of the living impulse animating every atom of our universe. Prana is conveyed to our planet from the light of the sun and congealed in material form. Thus, for our planetary system, the sun is the source of prana. Likewise, in the course of pranic-healing, prana may be most effectively availed of through the rays of our sun since the highest concentrations of prana are found in sunlight. Prana is the life of oxygen, however this life-force is something more subtle than oxygen. Just as photosynthesis occurs in plants, a bioluminescence occurs in our bodies through the focused absorption of sunlight whereby we inhale and ingest the salubrious rays of the sun through the medulla oblongata called "the Mouth of God," and the third eye of Shiva, thereby rejuvenating ourselves. Like a conductor of this spiritual and healing impulse, pranic-healing through solar power is the dynamic process of tuning one's body to absorb the life energy of the sun. By its very nature, this evolutionary science deals with nature itself, delving into the roots of who we are and what we are made of, beginning with the source of energy from which life as we know it evolved, the sun. The life of every living creature on our planet is ultimately dependent on the sun. It is the primary source of nourishment, responsible for life itself. Similarly, it is our lineage to the divine source of knowledge via the cosmic entity of prana. This is the universal life force that awakens us and evolves us to our divine indweller. The technique of pranic-healing connects the solar heart of the individual and the giver of this life-energy for our planet, the sun. This is the spiritual absorption of pranic healing-light through the act of submerging oneself in the cosmic current that sustains the whole of creation. The body becomes sponge-like, tuned to facilitate the absorption of prana, as the total organism inhales and imbibes the healing light of the sun through the skin, lungs, and vital centers (chakras) of the subtle body. From the astral body, the entire network of subtle nerves (nadis) and physical nerves are fed with the luminosity of pranic light.

From next-generation yoga teacher Faith Hunter comes a real-world guide to feeling more worthy, vibrant, and alive. “You were born with the fullness of your most epic life within you. Knowing your true worth. Feeling vibrant with each breath and magically alive as you navigate the unexpected. When you peel back the layers of crusty emotional baggage and old subconscious loops that keep you small, you are able to step into the brilliance of who you are in your soul, and that makes you Spiritually FlyTM.” —Faith Hunter Global yoga and meditation teacher Faith Hunter is known for her ability to help others remember their inherent worth and live more soulful, joyful lives. Here, Faith shares the seven principles behind her life philosophy—the “Spiritually Fly Sutras”—inspiring each of us to embrace our unique flow, on and off the mat. The Spiritually Fly Sutras are dynamic, sacred principles grounded in movement, breathwork, sound, and self-reflection. When practiced together, Faith teaches, “They have the ability to inspire and ignite an inner revolution.” Throughout Spiritually Fly, Faith shares the stories that led to each sutra with raw vulnerability. A young Black girl in the South whose brother was dying of AIDS contracted from a blood transfusion, she often struggled to trust in spirit and God. Her own spiritual journey brings a fresh, grounded vibe to her teachings, as she seamlessly blends classic yoga wisdom with modern-day living. To help you integrate each sutra into your life, Faith provides a wealth of “SoulPrints”—exercises and reflections including yoga asanas and kriyas, journaling prompts, pranayama, chakra explorations, and practices for each of the “three Ms”: mantra, mudra, and meditation. For anyone ready to live their most epic lives, Spiritually Fly offers a radical guide to shift unhealthy patterns, recharge your soul, and fly.

The health and vitality of the physical body is essential for anyone who aspires towards the awakening of the consciousness. Initiated students of Tantric traditions are taught exercises called Yantra Yoga to promote health and fortitude needed for their rigorous self-development. Samael Aun Weor, a reincarnated lama from the Sacred Order of Tibet, teaches in this book a synthesized and refined sequence of Yantric exercises with profound benefits that anyone can experience. In addition, he provides a fascinating and often shocking perspective on the reality of our situation, and the tremendous urgency for us to change our ways. “I tell you, brothers and sisters, that we, the Gnostics, have precise methods in order to rejuvenate the organism and cure all sicknesses. It is unquestionable that we can learn how to heal ourselves. Each one of us can be converted into our own physician by learning how to heal ourselves without the necessity of “medicine” - lo and behold, the most beloved ideal. It is urgent to preserve the physical body in perfect health for many years so that we can use this precious physical vehicle for the realization of our own Inner Self.” - Samael Aun Weor
