"From the wisdom of ancient cultures to modern neuroscience, the authors skillfully create a bridge of understanding between the practice of meditation, yoga, and psychotherapy. The Simpkins are at their best in describing how everyone can learn to Integrate their own brain, body, and mind to facilitate a creative synchrony of healing and well-being."---Kathryn Rossi, PhD Coeditor, Collected Works of Milton H. Erickson…
Consistent with the positive psychology movement, meditative yoga practice puts people on a positive path to actualize change. This timely and unique book provides practical tools for integrating meditation techniques from yoga into traditional treatment plans. Its in-depth coverage not only teaches therapists what to do, but also how, when, and why to use particular techniques. A variety of presenting problems are addressed, including stress management, addictions, anxiety disorders, and attention and learning problems. Clinicians are equipped with step-by-step guidance in the therapeutic use of yoga practices to improve their clients' mental health.
