healthcare practitioner last year. Interest in Yoga an aspect of
ayurveda is growing nationally and is starting to become part of
more progressive treatment programs. Patients want more. Providers
need to offer more. And choices need to be based on sciencetific
research on complementary/alternative medicine, which is
under-researched in the addictions treatment field right now. Their
has been a flurry of interest in Trancendental Meditation (TM) the
past few months, mostly due to very impressive research on lowering
blood pressure especially in African Americans. This
groundbreaking, scientifically based book shows how TM can have
profound health-promoting effects on addictions as well, according
to recent research on profound brain changes caused by TM practice.
Self-Recovery acquaints readers with the use of Transcendental
Meditation program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda.This natural
comprehensive approach to health care, as brought to light from the
ancient Vedic tradition of India by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, allows
individuals to break negative habits that arise from an incomplete
understanding of the relationship between mind, body, and
environment. Self-Recovery shows how this ancient system of
mind-body medicine, through its mental and physical procedures, can
be used to treat addictive diseases effectively. The first book
written on the application of the Transcendental Meditation (TM)
program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda to addictions treatment, this
volume is interdisciplinary in scope with original chapters by
psychologists, physicians, physiologists, neurochemists, and other
addictions professionals who offer an alternative paradigm to
understanding and treating addictions. In contrast to conventional
treatments, the TM program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda appear to
provide a natural, comprehensive treatment approach that profoundly
influences all levels of individual life that can impact on the
addictive process.Not overly technical, Self-Recovery shares the
pioneering experiences of clinicians using these holistic
procedures as well as the striking findings of researchers who have
integrated them into current chemical dependency treatments. For
readers without prior introduction to this new approach, the TM
program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda are briefly but thoroughly
described. Readers looking for an effective mind-body treatment of
addictions that is holistic in nature will find it in this book as
it introduces them to this very ancient, but quite relevant, system
of healing that can act in a complementary fashion with modern
psychological and medical approaches to addictive disorders.

programs and learn about incorporating them into daily practice.

recovery process from addictive diseases. Through rich
presentations of theory, research, and clinical case studies,

addictions come alive.The book is divided into four sections, the

underpinnings and existing research on the TM program and its
applications to addictions treatment. The second section features
original research on the impact of TM on severe alcoholism and
nicotine addiction. In section three, clinicians share case studies

during recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions. Section
four presents theory and clinical application of the twenty
approaches of Maharishi Ayur-Veda in chemical dependency treatment.
