Astrology Yoga
Cosmic Cycles of Transformation
By Mehtab Benton
Online Price: $22.95
Book Description
Written for yoga practitioners with a limited knowledge of astrology, this book explains the dynamic and vital relationship that has always existed between these two ancient Vedic sciences and how you can use this knowledge to accelerate your transformation by working with your personal planetary energies.
You will learn about your yogic Sun sign and Moon sign, the specific karmic issues in your life, the most appropriate yoga practices based on your birth date, and the most beneficial times to do your yoga practices over the day, during the week, and throughout all the cycles of your life.
The book describes the original relationship between Eastern or Vedic astrology and yoga and the differences between Yoga astrology and western astrology. You’ll learn about the nine major planetary energies, the twelve signs, and the twelve life areas of astrology yoga.
The major yoga practices of asanas, pranayama, mudras, mantras and meditations are correlated with your astrological makeup and you will learn how to work with your planetary energies through the techniques of yoga.
Astrology and Yoga are explained in connection with the subtle anatomy of the chakras, the nadis (energy channels), and the koshas (levels of existence). Patanjali’s Eight Limbs of Yoga from the Sutras are explained in terms of the nine planets of Vedic Astrology.
You’ll learn about your own astrological life cycles that affect your consciousness and yoga practices, as well as the universal cosmic cycles that affect everyone. Yoga practices for the moon phases, the days of the week, months of the year, and the hours of the day, as well as for the special occasions of the solstices, equinoxes and eclipses, are discussed to help you design a yoga practice that supports you through each cycle of your life.
Written by a life-long practitioner and teacher of Yoga as well as a certified Vedic astrologer, Astrology Yoga provides you with a personal roadmap for your journey to enlightenment.
Reviews
A rich read and reference for yoga teachers: both easy to use and in depth. Also, a great tool for vedic astrologers with a plethora of remedial offerings as well as unique planet, sign and house descriptions, minus the all too common doom and gloom language found in many astrology books. ~ WB Barron
With tons of Jyotish books around my home, this one is picked up every day as I examine my own chart and current planetary influences. I enjoy this book for its realistic application. Mehtab has a gift for making real world sense out of wildly esoteric topics. Thanks for writing and publishing Astrology Yoga, I needed it! ~ M&V Medley

Book Reviews
The author gives you a brief history on the gong and describes its applications in the practice of yoga as well as meditational and healing uses. The instructional portion of the book is well laid out so beginners can follow along easily.” – Gong Guru
“I discovered the powerful, hypnotic and surprisingly varied sounds of the gong recently. I was hooked and bought one myself. Although much of gong playing is intuitive and naturally learned through experimentation, I wanted to learn all I could about this mysterious instrument. Information on how to play the gong and the spiritual aspects of the sound of the gong are difficult to find. This book is a wonderful introduction to all aspects of the gong and the yoga that is associated with it. The interesting history of the gong, its uses in Western and Eastern music, how to play it and the gongs effects on the body’s energetic system are all discussed.” – Will Robinson
“OK, so I come to this book with a bit of a bias….I adore the gong! I always have and always will.
Still…my God…someone has written a book about all of those things I intuited about the gong but could not find the words for!
Yes, Mehtab’s book covers all of the Beauty the gong has to share with us: relaxation, releasing, healing, astral traveling :), transformation and so much more, and is written in the voice of clarity and effortless humor that is so much Mehtab Benton.
I encourage all to read this book, refer to this book for the rest of your gonging journey and, most of all, to actually experience the Gong and its benefits with Mehtab if you are ever visiting the lovely Austin, Texas!
I give this book 5 stars, because it’s one of those books that as a yoga teacher I will refer to for the rest of my life. It stands next to my copy of the Bhagavad Gita and Tantra: The Path of Ecstasy” – Mary Vaughan
“An excellent and one of the very few books written about this Ancient Vibrational Healing Technique. For anyone that would like a general education about the Gong. Includes information about caring for, transporting, and setting up the Gong. Basic playing strokes are also clearly described and pictured. This book will inspire you to seek this form of healing in your life.” – R. Farley (Guru Ravi)
