Parents and teachers often act as though offering a “reasonable explanation” to a child about staying calm and focused will resolve a problem or situation. However, it rarely works! What does work is the technique to change the flow of energy. The first step is to recognize the flow of energy that makes us happy, and that is engagement in something meaningful, not, as often thought, excitement. Awake and Ready is based on yogic principles, taught by Paramhansa Yogananda, on energy and form, but most importantly, on how to apply those principles practically. This is a book with real-life experiences that illustrate different keys to working with energy.
