“We need this book now! Reading The Namaste Effect is like sitting at the feet of a master story-teller and teacher...” --Amy Weintraub, Founder of LifeForce Yoga, author of Yoga for Depression Namaste, a word used in many cultures, expresses the idea that when we come from a place of love and oneness, we connect with others, to become one. Our times are plagued with senseless violence, bullying, prejudices, and blatant hatred. Something has happened to the model of love that all wisdom traditions expound upon as the greatest virtue—the concept of treating everyone as we wish to be treated. In The Namaste Effect, we are guided to such connection by tapping into our higher consciousness through the subtle energy centers known as chakras, to spark the release of love from our hearts and send it to others. With that action, we affect each other and eventually the entire globe. This book offers a way to live in this world by expressing love and compassion as our primary actions. Told through a series of examples and heartwarming stories, Nischala Devi navigates through the seven chakras in her signature storytelling style that will appeal to her legions of avid fans as well as those new to her work. Many of these stories come from people who were tested beyond their limits and survived by reaching into the depth of their hearts to remember the spirit in everyone. They transformed profound wisdom by creating ways to resolve the traumas that life brings. Take the time to find your own narrative within their stories. Discover how can you use these stories and beliefs to gratify your life with the joy that is your birthright. As the pages unfurl, allow The Namaste Effect to reignite your heart to the experience of boundless love. It is this universal love that is present and available to all in the vastness of this universe. Advance praise for The Namaste Effect: “The Namaste Effect is brilliant.

The examples from Nischala Devi's own life reveal her passion to heal the human heart with Love. May this book open many gates of spiritual understanding and inner learning.” —Swami Durgananda, director, Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centers Europe About the Author:NISCHALA JOY DEVI is a masterful teacher and healer, a highly respected international advocate for her innovative way of expressing Yoga and its subtle uses for spiritual growth and complete healing.
