Rating:  Summary: 'Life is difinitely not a bowl of cherries' Review: But when uou decide to look at each of them, it is amazing how beautiful some are and others just have to be thrown out. 'Into the Heart of Truth', you will wish to read several times. Looking into that mirror is not easy,but the more you do,the more life presents itself as one of adventure and beauty. The a's and b's continually manifest themselves. Enjoy this book, as I have done. Thankyou, John.
Rating:  Summary: Profoundly Illuminating Review: Having read the previous review, I can answer quite simply that the author is talking to nearly everyone that I know - he's certainly talking to me. Far from assuming anything about the life of the reader, McAfee presents universal yogic truths in a way that makes the reader confront himself. This will make some readers bristle, bewilder others and for most create a tension between their image of themselves and the truth of themselves. McAfee resolves this tension gently and delicately in the final chapters. The resolution lies in the unvarnished observation of ourselves as we relate to his words and images. Seldom does a book elicit potential lasting change in a person's life in an inward, transcending direction. This book is one of those and should be required reading for all yoga students, and yes, teachers alike.
Rating:  Summary: Thought provoking Review: I agree with the reader reviews here as far as the book's fascinating general message. On the other hand, the writing style greatly disappointed me. I would love to find a similar book out there that more ably explains the same concepts albeit in a sharper (clearer), less general, and more stimulating manner.
Rating:  Summary: My Mind is Blown Review: I didn't know what to expect when a friend suggested this book. And now I don't have the words to begin to describe what it did to me. You absolutely have to read this book if you're looking for truth, reality, God, infinity, yourself -- whatever you want to call it. It is a sublime, inspired song to life.

Rating:  Summary: A marvelous yoga book Review: I had seen a few ads in Yoga Journal for Relational Yoga retreats and other Relational Yoga events and hadn't paid them much mind. I assumed Relational Yoga was yet one more yoga fad that I didn't have time for. But when a friend turned me on to this book I was spellbound. McAfee manages, with simplicity and directness, to peel back the unecessary and overworked surface layers of yoga and shows us the inner heart. I found this book to be enlightening at many levels. First, my yoga practice has blossomed enormously as a result. Second, I have begun integrating the heart of yoga into my everyday life with profound results. And lastly, I have begun to perceive myself in a new light that shines more direct, more brightly and more true.
