The Secret Art of Seamm Jasani: 58 Movements for Eternal Youth from Ancient Tibet [Paperback]

When I first ordered it, I didn't really know what to expect... mostly I got it because it had a nice cover, and because it said something about a secret art from ancient Tibet... well, after reading a few pages I realized that, no matter what, this book is surely one of those must-to, but not because it is magical or gives you super-powers, but just because it talks about things that are so normal, so common and so usual that one does not see them anymore.

Plus, the exercises it teaches are simple but at the same time something revitalizing, and they can sure be done by anyone; I've been reviewing them with my mother, and elder person, and despite her age, they have caused a great impact on her health and mood.

I have nothing but gratitude towards this author. Thanks for helping me focus in what is important again!!!!!!

It is a magic experience, feeling the energy flowing through my body. The techniques taught are revitalizing, without requiring too much effort, and the breathing system is invigorating: I can really feel the positive energies and the purified air coming inside my lungs.

This book has three things that I look for in any book that I buy: a wonderful reading which kept me thrilled all the time, a unique message that I could feel had to be read between the lines, and exercises for the body, the mind, and the spirit.
I want to recommend everyone to read it and practice it, for it will enlighten you all, while making you enjoy something new.

I truly and deeply love this book.

To me, this book didn't mean magic, and I didn't assume that just by reading it my ulcers would cure, my mood would improve, or everything would suddenly change; the first time I read it, I understood I had to be disciplined, constant, and patient, very patient. Most of us expect things to happen in a few hours, but since it deals with motion, breathing, and the body... it would mean work, and for someone that works, a lot of patience!

The book istelf is divided into 8 main stages: the introduction, at first, sounds a bit strange, but when I read it the second time, I understood it meant more than the words say: it can sound simplistic to some, magic to others, but to me it meant the reflection of someone's own experiences, maybe the author's... I don't know. I just know that I have learnt to have an open mind, and to listen to what people have to say. I would have liked to experience this Art through a teacher.

The First Stage gives a series of advices, among other things, which I considered very accurate. Maybe the writer and I share the same ideas, I do not know, but I thought it was funny listening to things that I think written by someone else.

The Second Stage can be summarized with what I believe is true: "every action brings a reaction".

The Third Stage explains more about this Art, and its different parts.

The Fourth Stage continues deepening into explanations, which actually clear many things.

The Fifth Stage talks about a Chart that tells how to follow the course, how to take it to practice.

The Sixth Stage is the Chart itself, which to me was very easy to follow, very clear, and also gives a few recommendations, which actually are simple things, but that I had not thought about.

The Seventh Stage is the First Part of the class, which I won't describe here... It is for everyone to discover on its own.

The Eighth Stage includes some meditation forms, and also the Second Part of the class, which are the relaxation movements, and some very good coordinations and patterns.

Then, the book ends with something that I thought was very clever: comments of actual students, which to me meant a lot. I could see myself reflected in some of those experiences, especially because of their ages and problems. I just hope to get as much as they have from this system. For this, I would like to thank both the writer as well as the people who wrote this comments.

Thanks for this book, Mr. Writer, for it means to me going back to the simple things: exercising and spending time with family, especially my grand-children, and having an open mind to take the good things out of something (like from this book).
