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".
