Biofeedback is the process of training your body to control its involuntary actions, such as breathing and heart rate. Minor changes to these actions can significantly improve physical and emotional well-being. In Biofeedback and Mindfulness in Everyday Life, Harvard Medical School faculty member Inna Khazan pairs biofeedback techniques with mindfulness practice to address some of life's most common ailments-from anxiety and fear to stress and insomnia. She begins with a description of basic physiological information, explaining concepts such as breathing and overbreathing. In Part Two she dives into the practice of mindfulness. And in Part Three she zeroes in on applying this mind-body approach to an array of common problems. Khazan's approach outlines simple solutions for readers who want to improve the way they respond to challenges. She guides them through increasing their resilience and emotional flexibility while empowering them to take back control of their overall health.

Susan Balfour
R465 Discovery Miles 4 650 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Many books have tackled the subject of stress. Some are heavy, academic and encumbered with jargon. Others maintain a lighter, rather superficial approach. This book is a happy blend of the best of both styles. Stress Control combines the necessary scientific information (such as physiological facts about the effects of stress on our bodily systems) with a contemporary snapshot on today's society, an analysis of what is happening to humankind now that we are well into the twenty first century. In this book Susan Balfour takes a fresh, contemporary look at the dilemmas we face in today's society. She proposes alternative ways of approaching and thinking about life and it's challenges, and suggests solutions from ancient classical wisdom which can be applied to modern problems. In particular, she evaluates our dependence and craving for social networking, and our reliance on being permanently 'connected' - should our personal devices be seen as merely vices? She offers assistance in carrying out an audit of your life on many levels, to help discover just what is weighing you down and holding you back. Stress Control contains 11 clearly defined chapters, and in each chapter there are suggested exercises which are easy to implement and will help bust your stress. It is a guide book, a reference book, and a supportive, inspirational companion to help control the stresses of life. What's going on? Wisdom and truth: vital resources Who is in control? Technology and stress Take control of your agenda The positive 'no' Stress at work Let's talk about your body Just relax .... Food to empower you What we can learn from successful people
