      Introduction

      Are you struggling to keep up with your life? Has your yoga practice come to a plateau that you just cannot break through? Are you finding it difficult to stick to goals that you have set for yourself, and finish them through to the very end? Are you tired of having irregular energy levels that knock you down day in and day out?

      This purpose of this book is to provide you with a traditional, yet modernized approach to generating more quality energy which can be used to enliven your yoga practice and enhance your daily life. When we speak of quality energy, we are not speaking of the type of energy that has you wired at night and unable to sleep. We are speaking of a smooth, regular, calming, and consistent energy flow that permeates and enlivens all aspects of our lives.

      This energy is defined as Prana or Qi, the life force energy of the universe. In this book, we will discuss the true nature of this Pranic force that flows through each one us and all around us, feeding and supporting our very own life force energy.

      Unfortunately, most if us have no knowledge of the intricacies and energetic support offered by Pranic energy. It the pages of this book, we will hone in and explore the deeper nature and aspects of Prana, as well as explore and outline a number of practical techniques to harness and direct this Pranic energy into our bodies and minds.

      When we have an enhanced capacity to access and utilize this natural Pranic energy force, we are able to embody all of it's qualities within us which enhances our lives and helps us to deal with, process, and overcome fears and difficulties that may be limiting our development. With greater Pranic energy available to us, we can increase our healing capacity, enhance mental functions, and awaken ourselves to a deeper spiritual experience.

      As human beings, we have the greatest energetic force all around us, waiting to be awoken. This book will help you establish a greater relationship with this energetic force on an intellectual, practical, and experiential level allowing us to tap into this energy and awaken our next stage of empowerment.

      The Origins of this Book

While I was enjoying the practice of teaching yoga, as well as enjoying the act of spreading yoga and its message to hundreds of people per week, I was finding myself exhausted at the end of most days, and sometimes, I would dread going out to each studio to teach.

      At this point, I really began to question the fact of why I was so exhausted after teaching yoga?

      I had been following everything I had ever been taught, I was eating a healthy diet, sleeping well, and practicing a tremendous amount of yoga. But, still I wondered, why was I so exhausted at the end of each day?

      Unable to come up with a clear answer, I first began taking larger and larger doses of supplements to make
