Yoga And The Dark Night Of The Soul
- The Soul’s Journey To Sacred Love
Simon Haas
Veda Wisdom Books
£9.99Based on the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and interwoven with relatable, inspiring stories
from the author’s own life and the people around him, this book is a contemporary guide to the
ancient wisdom of yoga, sharing teachings on how to overcome life’s greatest challenges, follow
our life purpose and live our life with greater love and compassion. Author and yoga philosopher,
Simon Haas, says the book is about difficulty and darkness. “Almost all of us will go through at least
one period like this, yet we live in a society that conceals crisis or despair, looks upon it with fear
and medicates it out of sight.” In ancient India, however, crisis was viewed as an important time of
transition. “Yoga and the Dark Night of the Soul examines what despair really is, how it unfolds, what
its common features are, and how best to navigate it to transform us.”Healing Body Meditations
