The primary objective of this book is to empower the reader to take charge of his or her life. All your relationships - with family, friends, coworkers, strangers, posessions, accomplishments and yourself - are tinged with pain and pleasure resulting from the nature of your experience with them. In fact, health, happiness and fulfilment in life come from effectively managing the way you relate to everything around you. Whether you are seeking to improve your relationships, reduce stress in your life, free yourself from mental-emotional pain or simply become more focused and productive in your endeavors, this book is a great companion to help you reach those goals. The philosophy of yoga provides the framework used to explain the role and function of the mind and its involvement in every aspect of your life. The scientific study of the brain and its interaction with the body's physiology provides a credible understanding of the processes that develop your personality, prejudices, habits and preferences. The conditioning established through these learned behaviors is programmed into the mind-body system and often runs people's lives without their conscious awareness of it. Too often that leads to bad habits, painful relationships and poor performance in many areas of life. This book offers an opportunity to take charge. The Six Principles of Yogic Consciousness establish a path to freedom from the see-saw of pain and pleasure, leading to a joyful way of living. The forty four exercises distributed throughout the book provide a practical means of experiencing the benefits of these principles - directly and personally. Once you develop a keen awareness of the forces that color your experience, influence your thinking and drive your actions, it becomes possible to master them. Therein lies the opportunity to transform your life. The choice to exercise this power is yours. This book offers a way to do so.
