I'm sick of these "expert" reviewers.

I'm a student of jonn mumfords. He's an ordained swami who has studied for decades in India with some of the mosts respected spiritual leaders of our era. He began living in an ashram in canada when he was only fourteen under the direction of another ordained swami of the ultra-respected saraswati order. On top of that he's a medical doctor. He forgot more about yoga, kundalini and spirituality than most of these self-proclaimed expert reviewers who write these lousy book reviews. Who are these nit wits? I assure you they've never been closer to India than their local new-age bookstore and all they know about it is what they've read in silly new age books which are for the most part decades out of date and are also written by westerners who have never been to the far east. This book may not be as easy to read as readers digest or as entertaining as a lot of the new-age drivel out there but the information here is excellent and he even gives you a schedule to follow at the back of the book. Everybody talks about the dangers of kundalini but how many people have ever actually met anyone who has ignited a bad kundalini episode, much less done it with this book? No one has. It's ridiculous. This is all hysterical hearsay of the kind that actual teachers are trying to debunk in this era. This is a fine book. Disregard these ridiculous bad reviews. Those people literally have no firsthand experience just a bunch of stupid opinion based on what they've read. Buy this book, if you're interested, and enjoy. It's no more dangerous than a trip to the gym. And, by the way, Mumford is one of the most caring and unselfish people I've ever known.

Caution

Kundalini is an extremely effective practice, and it is absolutely NOT something that should be learned from a book. Dr. Mumford's emphasis on fast results, and ego based gratification is a dangerous way to begin exploring your body's energy, and there are dangers in practicing the pranayama he advocates.

This topic should be explored with a teacher-- fast results are not always good results.

MICROWAVE PSYCHIC

THIS BOOK IS INTENDED TO GIVE THE READER AND PRACTITIONER FAST RESULTS OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE READER SHOULD BE CAUTIONED, DO THEY WANT THE 'RESULTS' AT THIS TIME OF THEIR LIVES? ARE THE ABLE TO MAKE THE COMMITMENT TO GET THESE RESULTS? IT'S NOT SO EASY, REALLY. TOO MUCH EMPHASIS IS PLACED ON THE 'ABILITIES'. SO WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU GET THESE PSYCHIC ABILITIES AND YOU START HEARING VOICES AND SEEING PEOPLE WHO AREN'T THERE? WHAT DO YOU DO?

PROS: PROVIDES PRACTICAL EXERCISES FOR ACCELERATED RESULTS.

CONS: THERE IS LITTLE OR NO THEORY. 'FAST RESULTS' MAY MEAN MONTHS INSTEAD OF WEEKS. THE GOAL APPEARS TO BE MAGICIAL FACULTIES BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THEM WHAT DO YOU DO? THE READER IS LEFT HANGING, BECAUSE THE WORK ISN'T PRESENTED IN ANY FRAMEWORK.
