A clear and easy to understand guide to the fundamentals of meditation.

Yoga Psychology: A Practical Guide to Meditation

Ajaya, Swami

Religion & Spirituality

Himalayan Institute Press

Psychotherapy meets spirituality in this unique work which compares the worldview and methods of the yogic sages with modem psychotherapists. In the ancient system of yoga, the sages studied the psyche scientifically, developing techniques to lead their students through mental barriers to the reality beyond the mind. Students learned through direct experience, by practicing the methods taught by their teachers. Modern psychotherapists also help the individual to know himself, but this young science only goes part of the way, each school emphasizing a different aspect of human functioning. In Psychotherapy East and West practical methods are described for helping people change and attain a higher state of consciousness. The spiritual aspects of psychotherapy are clearly explained, and yogic techniques are provided for bodywork, breathwork, working with habit patterns, self-observation, and spiritual practices such as silence.

Psychotherapy East and West

Health, Fitness & Dieting

Psychology & Counseling

In Western therapies, mind, body, and spirit are separated into three distinct areas, with specialists who deal with each facet of the human being independently. However, in the yogic model of well-being, medical, psychological, and spiritual needs are dealt with synergistically.
Elements of yoga practice have become increasingly popular with both medical and mental health professionals, as well as the subject of much empirical research. Meditation, one of yoga's most important practices, has been found effective in the treatment of a wide variety of physical and psychological problems, including coronary artery disease, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression.
Healing the Whole Person is a guide to help individuals improve bodily and behavioral functions through the integration of holistic yoga, meditation, and ayurveda practices. This book also takes a look into spiritual facets of psychotherapy and the role of a collective consciousness in personal well-being.
