{"product_id":"9781846942853","title":"Yoga and the Jesus Prayer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThomas Matus compares the yogic realization described by the Tantric Yogis of Hinduism and Buddhism with the personal testimony of a great Eastern Christian mystic, Symeon the New Theologian (949-1022). The convergence of their narratives in a shared symbolic language points to an 'analogy of experience' between them. On the basis of this analogy, Matus suggests that the awakening of hidden energies in the body - the 'kundalini experience' - can be understood as a fulfillment of the life of faith in Jesus. In this revised edition of his pioneering study of 1984, Matus goes beyond a purely theoretical reflection and offers both an account of his own experience as a Christian yogi and a clear description of the yogic rites and techniques into which he was initiated more than fifty years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christian Alternative","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059407175920,"sku":"9781846942853","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781846942853_p0.jpg?v=1769894315","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781846942853","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
