The Complete Relaxation Book - Softcover

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".
