Book Review: Yoga of Sound by Russil Paul
This is a great book that really helps you see how sound effects our mind and our bodies. Everyone knows about noise pollution, but not everyone would consider the hum of our computers and TVs and trains and cars in this category. On the contrary, AUTHOR explains that even the sounds we can barely hear (or rather can barely recognize in our conscious mind) affects our focus, mind abilities, and even our physical body. This is also a great book that explains the overall reach of the the term “yoga” as it is really meant to be understood. It explains that yoga literally means “the path” and that there are many other forms of yoga than just the Jane Fonda-ized exercise versions we see on TV. Not all yogas pertain to the physical body, some pertain to the mind, some pertain to the senses, and some to the emotions.
