Stress is a major cause of disease today. This book is a manual of instruction in the art of relaxation. Based on thirty years of study and experience, it is a unique synthesis of the techniques of Western therapies and Eastern mysticism. James Hewitt starts with a survey of those empirical, Western relaxation techniques which yield physical and emotional benefits: progressive relaxation, self-hypnosis, autogenic training, biofeedback, and posture and breathing exercises. These exercises relax tense minds as well as tense muscles, an open up the possibility of 'peak experiences '. Carried over into everyday life, the deep psycho-physical relaxation they induce leads to enhanced, 'poised' living and integrated well-being. He then turns to an examination of Oriental techniques such as Yoga, Zen and other Buddhist methods. The reader can then find the technique most suited to his temperament and situation. (Previously published as Relaxation East and West.

A practical guide to inner calm, offering a wide range of useful techniques
This manual offers a complete relaxation system combining practical methods from both East and West to induce deep states of relaxation and the achievement of a state of poised living, necessary to counteract the effects of modern stress. The author believes that whilst Eastern tranquility practices may meet the needs of some people, especially those drawn from the philosophies of Zen and Taoism, many look to a more scientific approach from the West which can be found in the work of such therapists as Maslow and in techniques such as autogenics, self-hypnosis and the Alexander technique. James Hewitt has written 35 books including "The Complete Yoga Book".
