The Path of Sadhana: A Practical Guide to Daily Meditation
By Shanti Kaur Khalsa
If you long to establish a daily meditation practice that nourishes your soul and strengthens your presence, The Path of Sadhana will guide you, step by sacred step.
Sadhana is more than a practice-it is a spiritual anchor, a daily return to the sacred rhythm within. In this inspiring and practical guide, Shanti Kaur Khalsa gently invites you into the timeless tradition of sadhana-a personalized daily practice that weaves together meditation, mantra, breathwork, and stillness. Sadhana is for everyone. You don't need to be perfect, pious, or even experienced. You just need to begin. Shanti demystifies the practice, offering readers an adaptable, compassionate roadmap.
The core of the book breaks down the elements of a complete sadhana practice into approachable parts:
- Waking up and preparation - Gentle guidance is given on how to rise early, including the mental and emotional challenges that arise when forming new habits.
- Breathwork (Pranayama) - Instructions for Long Deep Breathing, Breath of Fire, and other techniques help readers awaken their energy and quiet the mind.
- Yoga - Simple, flowing yoga sets are offered to awaken the spine, increase circulation, and prepare the body for stillness. Clear illustrations and cues support the reader's physical practice.
- Mantra Meditation - Mantras such as Sohung, Mul Mantra, and Sa Ta Na Ma are explained both in meaning and technique, allowing sacred sound to become a transformative inner current.
The Path of Sadhana is a beautiful and practical offering for anyone longing to deepen their connection to Self and Spirit. Whether you're new to meditation or seeking to reinvigorate a longtime practice, Shanti's guidance is wise and accessible. Her words offer a steady hand and an open heart, encouraging us all to return-again and again-to the quiet center within.
