Vedic Principles of Therapy: A Holistic Consciousness-Based Approach

Ancient traditions of healing are increasingly accepted in contemporary society. This book introduces principles of the ancient Vedic tradition that constitute a consciousness-based approach integrating psychological, physiological, behavioral, and environmental technologies. In this approacch the bottom-line of the mind is consciousness itself--accessed by transcending mental activity to its simplest ground state. This contrasts with conventional 'unconscious-based' approaches which hold the unconscious as the basis of mind, such as analytic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Empirical research toward a general model of mind and cutting-edge developments integrating physics and psychology in theories of nonlocal quantum mind are shown to be converging toward the Vedic model of mind. Comparisons with contemporary therapies show further that the Vedic approach represents a major advance over approaches which don't access the ground state of mind for holistic mind-body healing. The simplicity, subtlety, and depth of this Vedic approach have profound consequences for contemporary methods of healing and human development.
