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
