Synopsis
More than 10,000 years ago in the ancient Himalayan mountains, an ancestral civilisation committed itself to the study and development of the Science and Art for Eternal Youth. A form kept in close secrecy for millennia is now revealed for the first time in this practical and dynamic guidebook. The teachings focus on cultivating the powers of the individual's mind, the harmony of movements and the discovery of internal potentialities as the ultimate force for self-healing to extend one's lifetime. Comparable to a cross between yoga and tai chi, this ancient Tibetan system is designed to increase vitality, balance and Inner Energy. The Secret Art consists of slow and fluid exercises designed to improve co-ordination and strength equilibrium between body and mind through various breathing and movement techniques. In particular, Seamm-Jasani is known for its harmonic combination of relaxation, action motion and breathing techniques. Discover you internal powers of self-healing and vitality, which will allow you to improve and help extend your life.

Great exercises to unblock stuck energy!
This book is fantastic and has just captivated me. I found it searching for simple and effective body-mind-spirit techniques to increase my healing power, stamina and body wisdom. Illness and emotional problems happen when our energy is blocked, but we all have inside the power to heal ourselves, and I have verified that these exercises are excellent to unblock stuck energy.

Most of the times we are so absorbed in what we are doing that we forget to move or even to breathe, with serious consequences to our health until we realize we need to change our habits.

The book explains through clear and easy to follow drawings and instructions 58 simple and effective exercises of breathing and movements, which now I know are essential for the free flow of energy through the body, producing immediate balance, health and well-being; of course that you need to be constant and follow the program given by the author.

I'm so happy to have discovered it! The practices have worked very good for me, proving once again that living a positive lifestyle can make a difference. Besides, the author has a corky sense of humor that really made me laugh.

I've become vital and healthy through these simple but powerful exercises, and they have absolutely given me a boost. An incredible energy practice!

A unique, well-written and amaizing book!!!!!!!
Today there are many martial arts that claim to be authentic and it might be difficult for one to evaluate and choose from all these available groups. I think that the best way is to feel for your-self weather the goal of the teaching is pure and if mentors bring a feeling of inner peace. I would also recommend trusting the intuition.

I read the "Secret Art of Seamm-Jasani" in just a few hours as soon as I received it in October 2004. While I was reading the book my intuition insisted that this Art is something real and worthy of trying out. I already was envisioning many possibilities that could open up if I start practicing this Art. And so the very next day I started my first Seamm-Jasani class. Currently, one year later, I continue to advance in Seamm-Jasani and I am learning two other Arts from within the Arts of Boabom as well. Uniqueness and authenticity of these Arts, the teachers and the wisdom that seems to manifest through them as well as the book, and the atmosphere at the Boston School of Boabom (BSB) still amaze me every day. Like true spiritual leaders, teachers often remind the students at BSB not to believe anything they read or hear but to look within to find the true expert.

I can honestly say that that practicing these Arts gives me endless benefits. First of all, they accelerate balance and therefore, as I believe it, a healthy and authentic psychological and physical development. With every class I feel that I am taking a step forward mentally and physically, whereas after, for example, Pilates classes or gym I used to felt like I am taking a step backwards when my muscles hurt terribly and I felt like falling on the couch and refraining from thinking by watching TV. After an hour of Seamm-Jasani or Boabom I am sweaty and tired, but at the same time incredibly happy, motivated, full of mental energy and irreplaceable feeling that anything is possible. The meditation parts of the Art in conjunction with other meditation techniques that I practice on my own help me try to maintain awareness in everything I do. In addition, I feel I have gained motivation, confidence, positivism, balance, realization of potential, better physical shape, less anger development, desire to improve relationships, creativity, ability to see the bright side of everything first, etc., etc...

Like teachers of the Art I strongly believe that mind and body inter-connected and like Transpersonal Psychologists I also think that optimum health or "wholeness requires the integration of body and mind and subsequently of egoic and transpersonal states" (Vaughan, 1983, p. 25). Practicing the Art has also motivated me to actually apply for and begin a graduate study program on Transpersonal Psychology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpersonal_psychology).

I absolutely love this Art and everything about it. If you are the kind of person who is willing to grow and/or simply wants to feel better, I highly recommend getting this book regardless of weather you plan to attend classes or practice on your own. I am sure that anyone who is willing to try it with an open mind (alone or at one of the schools) will see the benefits very very soon. I dare to assume that the Art might benefic any person at any stage of development.

In conjunction with this book, I highly recommend "The Secret Art of Boabom" also written by Asanaro and "The Self-Aware Universe: how consciousness creates the material world" by Amit Goswami, Ph.D.

One of the best books ever written
This is one the best books that I have come across for using energy for health. It is a book that conatins a series of taoist movements and exercises that also combine specialised breathing techniques, vocal sounds, visualisations. These exercises are suited to any age as they start of easy and progressively build up....

This book can serve as a good introducion as to how energy flows through your body and how it can be used to heal yourself and develop a regime that is conducive to have more vitality and less stress in life.

Now be prepared these exercises will benefit you very quickly so be prepared to be surprised.(Now if only they had a boabom centre specialising in seam jasani in the UK)
