“Then it happened. On to my desk dropped a book which promised a new life. I am hooked. It doesn’t involve expensive equipment, no stress on joints, neither do you have to get a second mortgage to join some exclusive health club. So what is the secret? What is it that promises to shed pounds painlessly? Walking.”

- The Herald, Glasgow 

“Not only is it very easy and inexpensive, walking is also the best possible route to weight loss. A programme of daily walks combined with a carefully selected low-fat, high-fibre diet has virtually guaranteed results…even the most reluctant exerciser can lose up to one stone in 30 days.”

BETTER EYESIGHT WITHOUT GLASSES: THE CLASSIC METHOD OF RETRAINING THE EYES

BY William Bates, M.D.

Here is a book on eye-care and treatment, which, soon after its first publication in 1919, came to be regard as a classic. It is based on the author, Dr. W.H. Bates’ own experiences in treating patients, and presents his theories, which later on became normal practice everywhere.

The back is written in a simple and lucid style within easy grasp of the layreader. It discusses in detail the eye, its functioning, its disease and their treatment, and also how to keep one’s eyes normal and in healthy condition. He lays great stress on natural methods such as palming and central fixation (which is tratak in Indian parlance), and also on home treatment whenever needed. He proved once for all that good eyesight. Without glasses was not a myth but a reality within the reach of every person.

“….a worthwhile and inexpensive book and would certainly prove useful to those who follow the exercises given here.”

BACK COVER:

According to Dr. William H Bates, most people who wear glasses need not.

Eyes that rely on glasses have merely become ‘lazy’ and need to be retrained. The Bates Method is a serious of simple, easy to-follow exercises to relax and retrain the eye muscles to focus without strain and work more efficiently. Its success has been proved over and over again. The most remarkable testimony came from Aldous Husley, who could barely even read a book; ‘Within a couple of months I was reading without spectacles and, what was better still, without fatique!

A book that has benefited millions the world over. No one with eye trouble can afford to ignore it.

This book helps you to throw away your crutch of eyeglasses.
Reviewer: A reader
I have personally used the methods tought in this book to help me get rid of my dependency for eyeglasses. Surely you can do the same

What your eye doctor doesn't want you to know ?
Reviewer: A reader
I've used this method to pass a police eye exam before and it works. If your doctor said you had to wear a crutch forever because of a strain due to excessive and improper use of a muscle , you'd call him a quack. But most of us pay big bucks to get good vision and it's nothing more(in most cases) than a case of eye strain caused by poor vision habits. Your eye doctor won't tell you to use this book, because he gets paid twice over to get you to wear glasses(or something even more expensive). My biggest problem with nearsightedness came from always looking at near objects such as the ground and never allowing the muscles in my eyes to stretch and see things like the horizon or clouds overhead. And when I finally did chose to stretch these muscles it was like trying to get into a crossed leg yoga position. The lenses in your eye are controlled by muscles and they need to be stretched and tightened.Buy this book for everyone you know and love and tell your eye doctor either to get another sucker or find a new job.

Complete Book Of Yoga

By Ananda Sri

There is an immutable interchange are reciprocal dependence between body and soul. To affirm the body is to affirm hidden behind the body-soul complex. The body cannot on its own assert an existence that is separate from this unity. Any discipline that prepares the body to assume its role as the effective element promoting this unity may one day become the way towards the realization of the Self. Seen in this light Hatha-Yoga, which is first and foremost a method designed to turn the body into the perfect instrument, may be called the way to Self-realization (Self being the body-mind-soul complex). The body is a sign, a language of God and of the Supreme. How can this “sign” be improved so that so that may communicate better with God and enlarge our understanding of what He tells us?

The interchange between body and soul is made clear by Prana, a neutral principle that is neither solely physical nor uniquely spiritual.

Hatha-Yoga attaches great importance to Prana and to breathing through alternate nostrils according to a certain rythmn; the same is true of the breathing that accompanies postures. The fact that we are able to relax the body is due to though (or conscience) that lies behind it. If someone says to me ‘Relax’ my first reaction is to tense up, and only afterwards relax. Why is this? The answer is that the body at first reacts unsuccessfully to the order; then thought, feeding the body, carries out the order and is able to make the body relax. The messenger that interprets and puts into action the order of the thought is Prana or Pranic energy. In the case of illness for example, Prana is the conductor-wire directing our will to recovery.

The present work is doubly important. Firstly, because the author, Sri Ananda, has learnt Hatha-Yoga is a highly traditional way from a Hindu Guru. Hence he is both careful and wise to stress the importance of breathing-a cardinal element of Hatha-Yoga. Secondly, he has lived in Europe and has come to understand the needs of those in the West, bringing them a technique of unquestionable authenticity.

It is striking to see how the declarations made by ancient India contemplative thinkers on the human body have been confirmed by today’s science. The Yogis stated the sacred nature of the spine, in the centre of which is the Sushumna, the field of all great spiritual experience. Hatha-Yoga advocates several postures to exercise the spine.

Science has confirmed by the experimental method what the Yogis discovered through meditation and intuition. The contemplative thinkers in India have a great contribution to make to the active non-contemplative West, by by accepting the practice of Hatha-Yoga and other methods of yoga, the West shows itself both receptive and spiritually open. Hence a living bridge has been created between the East and the West. The present work is eminently suited to its aim to enabling everyone to attain the harmony of body and mind, thus helping to make that bridge even stronger.
