About this title

Synopsis

"What you cannot learn in your own body, you can learn nowhere else."--the UpanishadsA Book of Self Re-Education is a treasure house for all who wish to explore the creative essence of life in the substances of their bodily form. Raden Ayou Jodjana (1888-1981), beloved student of the Sufi Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan and devoted wife of Prince Raden Mas Jodjana, the great Javanese dancer, here expresses the inexpressible teaching of these two great masters in moving prose poems that are a step-by-step guide to waking up fully inside our human bodies."To give attention. It is the simplest and the purest act of love. The greatness, the joy, the rapture and the beauty of all love, depends on the intense receptivity of our attention."So open wide the whole body. Receive the incoming tide of space. Open the body from the centre. So that your whole being can absorb all that wishes to be felt and known by you, with the full and silent comprehension of love."
