Golden Eagle - from The Secret Power of Light by Mansukh Patel

The Golden Eagle is a very powerful technique for creating a much deeper sense of connection with yourself and where you want to go in your life. In Mansukh Patel’s book, The Secret Power of Light, the technique is described in very easy-to-use detail. I find the practitioner experiences a deeper sense of connection with the earth and a much greater feeling of strength and stability… and not only this, it strengthens thoracic muscles and promotes correct breathing.

In Mansukh's description of the technique a high point occurs with the arms upraised. When I teach this on my wellbeing courses, it bringt people to a profound stillness - removing stress and boosting self-confidence. I recommend it!

My yoga teacher introduced me to the Dance between Joy and Pain by Mansukh Patel and Rita Goswami a decade ago and it has been my constant companion ever since. The authors were inspired to write this book following a journey to some of the most inspiring and the most disturbing places on earth; from Jerusalem to Assisi, to Auschwitz and Dachau, from the slums of India to penthouse suites in New York. Mansukh and Rita write: “This book emerged out of the immense cry of the human heart. A cry for help and guidance and clarity about the nature of suffering and pain.”
