What is this Art?
The Art presented in this volume is a technique of relaxation and self-medicine through Movement based on a millenarian tradition of Tibetan origin for the longevity, also known as Alayavijnana (Sanskrit) or Kun gzhi rnam shes (Tibetan). At the present time, Asanaro has developed and systematized this system into two major stages: the Art of Awakening and the Art of Active Relaxation (or Seamm-Jasani itself).
The Secret Art of Seamm-Jasani presents this Art in a course that is simple to understand, yet will challenge all of its readers. The course is presented in a simple and amusing manner, as text, illustrations and diagrams acquaint the reader with fifty-eight unique exercises and techniques for meditation. These fifty-eight movements lead us down a diverse and balanced path towards achieving equilibrium in body and mind, where we can channel our internal energies to increase our vitality, happiness, and energy, all of the ingredients needed for Eternal Youth.
Within the Mmulargan School, of which the author is one of the senior Teachers, Seamm-Jasani is taught as an essential part of its basic programs. In general, this Art includes breathing techniques or Pranayama (Sanskrit), fluid movements that function as a body-healing system, and practices of meditation.
Now, as the need for meditation, for taking time for ourselves outside of our daily pressures is becoming ever more widely recognized, our society is becoming aware of the need for each one of us to dedicate more time to our own lives, to understanding and improving ourselves. This book was created in response to this growing need, offered and a way by which each one of us can learn ancient movements that have, for time-immemorial, served as methods of attaining self-awareness.
