The title is a blatant deception., Mar 6 2000
By "yogibear1" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Power Yoga (Paperback)
One flip through the book, and I realized I'd been had. Jutta Mattausch billed herself as a freelance journalist in Germany. This book is her fantasy about traveling to Tibet, and learning from a lama after the author saw a slide show about Tibet one evening. To qoute her at the end of the first chapter 'This town in Tibet really exists. However, its name is unimportant because no one should come looking for this city. The following story also exists in reality. I will tell it like it took place, and could have taken place. In a kaleidoscope of worlds, the visions merge with realities, and dreams and wide,(sic) awakeness shake hands.' The only illustration in the entire book consists of one amateurish drawing. What is claimed in the subtitle as 'Essence of all Yogas; A Tibetan Excercise for Physical Vitality and Mental Power' turns out to be the common Tibetan Prostration. Understandably, Madame Alexandra David-Neal this author is not, but at least she could aspire to write like Lopsang Rampa. The title is a blatant deception, and to advertise it like a book of instruction, is willfully misleading and a shameless scam.

amateurish writing overshadows somewhat interesting content, Jan 2 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Power Yoga (Paperback)
I found this book to be annoying in it's very amateur writing style. Isn't that what editors are supposed to help with? The content was somewhat interesting, but overall I found this work preachy and disappointing. Can't really recommend it...

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good introduction to enhancing the human energy field., Sep 26 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Power Yoga (Paperback)
Although certainly not a literary masterpiece, it offers a nice introduction to the exercise of "prostration," a Tibetan form of concise yoga. Also includes some excellent breathing exercises. Limited Buddhist philosophy. The story, though sparsely written, grows on you, and there are some nice nuggets of wisdom within.
Listmania!
