Through the lenses of art and asana, this book presents stories and images from the Ramayana, the epic narrative of the life of Rama, one of the most beloved aspects of the divine in all of Indian history. As a parable of the spiritual journey, the Ramayana is a story about the division between distracted consciousness and the Self, and a guide to what we must do to reunite with our own inner Self. Each of us has our individual path to the divine, and an inner Ramayana unfolds in each of us. In the hands of Zo Newell, an accomplished practitioner and religious scholar, the story of Rama and his abducted wife, Sita, reveals elements of the human psyche; and with images and selected asanas, we are invited to experience the age-old journey to wholeness. "It is my hope that the stories and practices in this book will speak to you through your body and your senses as well as your mind, and allow you a glimpse of their reality."
