关于此电子书

In "The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath," William Walker Atkinson delves into the ancient practices of pranayama, the sacred science of breath control intrinsic to Hindu and yogic traditions. Through a blend of philosophical discourse and practical guidance, Atkinson elucidates the profound connections between breath, energy, and consciousness. His literary style is at once contemplative and instructional, inviting readers into a deeper understanding of the vital force—prana—that sustains life and promotes spiritual awakening. Anchored in the burgeoning fascination with Eastern philosophies in the early 20th century, the work stands as a bridge between Western materialism and Eastern metaphysical insights, situating breath as a pivotal element in the pursuit of health and enlightenment. William Walker Atkinson was a polymath with extensive expertise in various disciplines, including occultism, psychology, and yoga. His personal experience with the transformative power of breath and meditation inspired him to compile this comprehensive resource, reflecting the era's growing interest in alternate spiritual practices. Atkinson's writings not only sought to demystify yoga for Western readers but also emphasized the applicability of Eastern wisdom to modern life. "The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath" is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in enhancing their physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Atkinson's insights into the interplay of breath and life force offer a pragmatic approach to self-discovery and holistic health. Ideal for both novices and seasoned practitioners, this book encourages readers to cultivate breath awareness as a means of achieving profound inner peace and vitality.

作者简介

William Walker Atkinson (1862–1932) was a prolific writer, attorney, merchant, and an influential figure in the early 20th century's New Thought movement. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Atkinson embarked on a career in law before turning to the then-emerging trend of New Thought—a philosophical movement which proposed the idea of practical spirituality applied to daily life. His writing career spanned several decades during which he authored innumerable books, the most notable being 'Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World' (1906), and 'The Power of Concentration' (1918). Atkinson adopted numerous pseudonyms, perhaps the most recognized being Yogi Ramacharaka under which he authored 'The Hindu-Yogi Science of Breath' (1903), a work that delved into the Indian tradition of yoga, specifically pranayama, or the science of breath control. Atkinson's works fused Western and Eastern thought, eloquently interwoven with practical advice for personal development, harnessing the power of the mind and understanding the potential of human consciousness. His literary style is notably didactic, aimed at the layperson but containing a depth of knowledge that attracted a devoted following. Atkinson's teachings continue to resonate in contemporary circles of self-help and holistic health practices.
