Path Notes of an American Ninja Master
by
Glenn Morris




Using a lively style and the languages of transpersonal psychology, meditation, esoteric magic, and kundalini, Glenn Morris recounts his amazing adventures and hair-raising close calls while training and then practicing as a master of martial arts. Following in the tradition of the legendary Togakure Ryu of Japan, whose fighting techniques and lore inspired the fascination of westerners with Ninja warriors, he offers guidelines on how to tell sham from authenticity, how to keep friends while developing power, how to voyage safely into the inner landscape, and how to deal with dark forces-incarnate and disincarnate. At the same time, he provides exercises, tests, and adventures for the courageous-as well as spiritual and ethical compass.
Science Of Breath

Yogi Ramacharaka



In 1903, Science of Breath introduced Americans to yoga. Throughout this work, Western biology is mixed with Indian spiritual practices to show readers how to breathe better and improve their lives. Yoga can increase focus, decrease stress, and bring the practitioner greater awareness. Anyone interested in yoga will find this helpful guide a great way to start their practice. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont."
