Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. It reads better in small doses — a chapter at a time with notes. Happy enough with the purchase.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. The text itself is dense but rewarding — you get out what you put in. Glad I finally picked this up.
Ordered this after seeing it referenced in another book I was studying. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. My only quibble is the cover feels thinner than expected. Solid, if not essential.
My book club chose this last month. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. It's become a regular reference in my practice. Glad I finally picked this up.
Finally got around to ordering this. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted. Good, with the caveats above.
First purchase from this shop. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year.
A friend in my study group recommended this one. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure. Delivery took a bit longer than quoted.
Sturgess provides a comprehensive map of esoteric anatomy, effectively combining ancient wisdom with accessible instruction. However, this book is not suitable for those seeking purely philosophical discourse or detached academic study; it demands active engagement with physical and energetic techniques. Readers looking for quick spiritual fixes without the discipline of Hatha or Kriya Yoga methods may find the detailed technical instructions tedious. It is best suited for practitioners ready to apply specific yogic tools to transcend mundane existence, making it less ideal for casual readers uninterested in the rigorous application of subtle body work.
