This book attempts to bridge the considerable gaps that exist
between spiritual philosophies and evidence-based medicine and
between the psychotherapeutic models of the East and the West.
Based on the insights of both the ancient wisdom and modern
medicine, this book presents Yogic science not just as a set of
physical exercises or religious rituals but as theories about the
mind that have bio-psycho-social implications in relation to health
and illness. Drawing on his years of monastic training and his
extensive experiential, clinical and research knowledge on the
utility of Yoga meditation in standardized and evidence-based
medicine protocols, the author describes symptom-specific clinical
applications of Yogic/meditative techniques using standardized
protocols for the various psychiatric and psychosomatic conditions.
In addition, he explains the value of these techniques in reducing
stress and improving quality of life in healthy populations. Dr.
Pradhan names the proposed integrative model of psychotherapy Yoga
and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (Y-MBCT). Unlike other
models, Y-MBCT uses Yoga in its entirety (all eight limbs,
including meditation) rather than piecemeal. The standardized and
evidence-based format of Yoga meditation described in this book
will help all aspiring Yoga practitioners and will hopefully also
provide the impetus for multicenter research studies on the value
of this ancient wisdom.
