Product Description
Eyes of Innocence is the title of the book accompanying the documentary film, "A Fish in Search of Water" on the yoga and philosophy of Dona Holleman. It contains ten of the interviews taken in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, against the dramatic backdrop of the Grand Tetons at the end of October, 2000 with Diana Eichner as director and Kate Rabinowitz as producer. These interviews were taken while hiking, canoeing, or lounging at the rented house in Teton Village. The leitmotif of both the documentary film and the manuscript is that life itself is the mystical experience, that no explanation can ever explain it, and that each human being by nature has a one-to-one relationship with the life force. The deeply mysterious experiences of both birth and death are intensely personal experiences, which each human being goes through alone even though there may be others around. Life can be lived in the same personal way with, on the one hand, our daily relationships with the surroundings and on the other hand, our own deeply experienced relationship with the universal life force. This relationship can only be experienced if we put our judging, cataloging and choosing minds in their proper perspective and allow the other side of us, the perceiving mind, the eye of the heart, to interact with life and with the life force. Our cataloging minds are the reality tunnels that each one of us lives in and are on the one hand unavoidable, but on the other hand create division between human beings and cultures. Thus to put these reality tunnels in their proper perspective and to give more room to our humanness can help us live life from a wider vision, a more innocent vision.

"Eyes of Innocence is a collection of ten remarkable interviews with Yoga teacher Dona Holleman, author of Dancing the Body of Light. Holleman, a practitioner for over 40 years, explores a wide range of interests in these exchanges: the meaning of and need for a system as a way of seeing the world; modern physics and religion; the human body and consciousness; her experiences with significant teachers in her life, such as J. Krishamurti, B.K.S. Iyengar and Vanda Scaravelli; and of course the practice and teaching of Yoga. These are some of the most interesting and informative interviews I have ever read, and I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Portions of these interviews were filmed and made into an accompanying 24-minute video, A Fish in Search of Water. This production will give you a tiny taste of Holleman's vision, but if you want to sit down to the entire feast, then you should aquire the book." I felt that this review which was written by Richard Rosen who is a Yoga Journal Contributing Editor and Deputy Director of the Yoga Research and Education Center (YREC) in Santa Rosa, Ca.would be very helpful to anyone who was interested in the content of this book. Additionally, Mr. Rosen teaches yoga in Berkeley and Oakland and has published books on the subject himself.
