The Path of Practice: A Woman's Book of Ayurvedic Healing

This book is a must for any woman (or man) who has a keen interest in building the best possible health practices. It has information ranging from uterine fibroids, which way to face when sleeping, to recipes and family relationship ideas. It is an extremely important book for today's reader.

Surprisingly simple ways to regain harmony

I was fortunate to hear Bri Maya Tiwari speak at the Southwest Yoga Conference...simply because our booth was in the same room as the scheduled lecture...what a blessing! Her methods which incorporate the healing nature of sound, food, and breathing are easy to understand and implement if one truly desires attunement with the natural rythms of life...I immediately bought her book, and have begun to use many of the techniques to bring my life closer to the truth and balance we are designed to live...

Path of Practice: A woman's book of healing...

I have read this book and found it to be absolutely wonderful. It is filled with helpful, practical and attainable suggestions for developing a daily practice that will bring you back to yourself. Bri Maya tells her own healing journey which is healing in itself just reading it. The stories of those she has encountered along her path and how she has helped them help themselves are so moving and brought me to tears more than once. I highly recommend this book, and not only for women. There are healing therapies recommended for women, but are good for men to know as well. The food information, setting up your kitchen, realizing that food is so much more than just fuel is information that will change your life, and again, show you your truest self. I recently gave this book to a friend. She said, "Well, I don't think I'll read it but I think it will give good energy just being on my bookshelf." I agreed with what she said about the good energy, but I recommend reading this book. It is written by an enlightened woman teaching us in a time when so many things pull us away from our path, or dharma and ourselves. This book is one opportunity to look within and gives suggestions to develop a practice of doing so in our daily lives.

A wonderful gift for the spirit and the body

Reading the Path of Practice has been a wonderful and enlightening experience for me and for thoes I have given it to. I recommend this book to thoes who want to be spiritually fed, are looking for their own answers and for thoes who enjoy reading a wonderfully written and extreemly interesting book. I have read Bri Maya Tiwari's other books and have found them to life changing as well. I would like to thank her for her gift to us all.

A Healing Journey That Works

Brilliant, inspiring and accessible. Her earlier works are indispensible tools in learning the secrets found in Ayurveda's path to optimal health. In this latest release the reader is gifted with Bri. Maya's most personal account of her own healing journey, as well as the journey of so many that she has helped over the years. I am but one that she helped to achieve health at all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. This priceless edition presents the timeless means to achieve such a level of well being. Path of Practice goes beyond the clinical application of any health regime to the center of what creates our dis-ease so that we may recognize it and move beyond into our natural stae of health and well being. This book offers what has been missing in our fast paced lives that brings us to the core of what it is to be alive and to be present in every action, thought and experience so that we can live in the balance of nature that we can never separate ourselves from. My only criticism is that the book is subtitled A Woman's Book of Healing. This book is for anyone that suffers, anyone who wants to heal. It is written by a woman that embodies the spirit of the Divine Mother to heal us all. My deepest gratitude to Bri. Maya for this gift.
