Meditation As Medicine: Activate the Power of Your Natural Healing Force
As a veteran yoga instructor, I have many many books on yoga styles and philosophies. One of my students gave me this book for Christmas, and it is the BEST book on Kundalini yoga that I've ever read! Dr. Khalsa gives us specific kriyas (movement, mantra, and breath patterns)as prescriptions for healing the mind/body and activating the chakras. He also gives us detailed descriptions on how best to meditate for REAL RESULTS. A great gift for us all!
I tend to highlight important parts of my favorite books; this book has so many highlights that it's just crazy.....a MUST READ!

Proven effective by scientific research and presented here by Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa and Cameron Stauth, the practice of Medical Meditation revolutionizes the healing process. By balancing and regenerating the body's ethereal and physical energies through simple meditations, Medical Meditation unites the mind, body, and spirit into a powerful triad.
Each Medical Meditation here has a specific physiological effect, targeting afflictions from arthritis to ulcers to cancer. Dr. Khalsa details the five unique attributes that endow this type of meditation with far more power than standard meditation. The combination of special postures and movements; exact positioning of the hands and fingers; particular mantras; specific breathing patterns; and a unique focus of concentration can change your entire biochemical profile, easing you into a calm, healing state. Practiced in conjunction with conventional or alternative medical treatments, cutting-edge Medical Meditation activates the healing force within you.
Amazon.com Review:
Long-term meditators experience 80 percent less heart disease and 50 percent less cancer than nonmediators, according to a large body of studies. Meditation has been shown to improve sleep and reduce chronic pain. Not all meditation is equally effective, however. Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., has developed a form of advanced meditation he calls "Medical Meditation," which "more fully addresses every element of our physical and ethereal makeup... a full-service approach." Medical Meditation is an adaptation of kundalini yoga combined with meditation, using specific breathing patterns, posture and movements, mantras, and mental focus.
Different Medical Meditation focus on different physiological benefits for specific conditions, so once you've learned the basics, you can choose a specific Medical Meditation for high blood pressure, to improve digestion, or to strengthen the immune system or the heart, for example. Line drawings illustrate the postures, and Khalsa's stories about his patients are inspiring and involving.
Meditation as Medicine is not a brisk read or a "read-today-do-tomorrow" guide, however. Be prepared to immerse your mind in a study of chakras, mantras, breathing exercises, movement exercises, poses, and meditations--and discipline yourself to practice Khalsa's techniques patiently. Are the benefits worth all the work involved? Khalsa thinks so: "For the ill and injured, Medical Meditation is not a problem. It's a solution."
Khalsa is both a physician and a yogi. He is board certified in anesthesiology, pain management, and antiaging medicine, and president and medical director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Foundation. Cowriter Cameron Stauth, author of 12 books, was named Journalist of the Year by the National Health Foundation. --Joan Price

One of my major complaints with some of the Amazon vendors is they send things by pony express. This is one who gets things out on time. Book also was in great condition.
Meditation as Medicine
This book was ordered for a friend at her request. I don't know her thoughts about the book other than she wanted it.
Powerful healing
Meditation as Medicine offers engrossing reading coupling recent Western medical research with ancient yogic practices. The exercises, which combine breathing techniques, body postures (none too difficult for the unaccustomed), chants and mudras, are powerful change agents.
After borrowing the book from the library, I purchased my own copy from Amazon, and two other health-related books by Dr. Dharma.
