The book details well-known Vedic practices of pranayama that creates
balance and harmony to body and mind resulting in a state of deeper awareness.
The few mudras and asanas suggested are also explained with remarkable
simplicity and lucidity. She introduces concepts of Ayurvedic healing expanding
on the importance of mantras to include the positive impact of sound energy and
its healing potential. A major portion of her book concentrates on the vitality
and energy that is derived from particular foods and from an awareness of
practising 'food sadhana'. The book provides helpful tips to garner the energy
of the Earth through the food we cook and eat, and has several healthful
recipes.
The Path of Practice is an honest sharing of Bri. Maya Tiwari's own experiences, where she has studied Ayurvedic healing and Vedic techniques of promoting health and rejuvenating the mind and body. Hers is not the dry path of academic learning, but reflects her individual experiential journey, which necessarily expands horizons by incorporating personal learning on the foundation stone of existing ancient knowledge.
Tiwari's own practices include the invocation of the Divine Mother to nurture, to heal and to protect. For the lay reader, she has simplified the concepts of Shakti - the primordial energy that exists in all creation, from its esoteric and sometimes feared dimensions to emphasise on the healing, rejuvenating and energising aspects of the feminine energy to reach a larger audience who can then benefit from her own much deeper insights and wisdom born of conviction and experience.
