Minding the Body
There is growing scientific evidence that how we experience our bodies can powerfully influence whether we get sick, how we get sick, and how we manage illness. Somatic awareness--the ability to perceive, interpret, and act on the basis of internal bodily sensations--is at the cutting edge of the mind-body interface. Such awareness is a key factor in many forms of self-regulatory therapy, including relaxation and biofeedback. Grounded in the existing research, this book identifies the somatic experiences associated with health and well-being and describes how awareness of these states can be a powerful clinical tool. Integrating empirical data, case examples, and pointers for practice, Bakal...

The Buteyko Method: How to Improve Your Breathing for Better Health and Performance in All Areas of Life
Ukrainian physician Dr. Konstantin Buteyko (1923-2003) was undoubtedly one of the most profound breath researchers in the western world. His research proves the lasting damage to health caused by constant accelerated and intensified breathing (over-breathing or chronic hyperventilation). The causes lie primarily in the daily stresses to which most of us are exposed. If these incorrect and unhealthy breathing patterns are corrected, extraordinary restoration to health can occur, even despite long-term poor health or illness. In this book, Ralph P. Skuban, PhD, a well-known breathing researcher and pranayama expert, presents Buteyko's approach in theory and practice. He also incorporates the l...
