Awakening through the nine bodies: explorations in consciousness for yoga and mindfulness meditation practitioners

Based on meditation practices Phillip Moffitt learned 20 years ago from Himalayan yoga master Sri Swami Balyogi Premvarni, this beautifully illustrated book is a guide to exploring the nature of mind and gaining a better understanding of experiences that arise during meditation.

The Nine Bodies teachings map out a journey that starts with consciousness that arises in the physical body and is directly observable, and then travels through ever more subtle levels of consciousness to that which is not manifest and is only potential, and therefore has to be inferred.

The book includes a series of mysterious illustrations that Balyogi created during his time of intense Samadhi explorations.

Each illustration is a rich composition of symbols that express aspects of inner experiences that are almost impossible to express with language.
