Techniques she discusses in detail include body postures, hand positions, breath control, and the Chakra system, among others. She advises on spe-cific meditation solutions to relieve back pain, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, low-grade fevers, colds and flu, respiratory disorders, and digestive problems.

Filled with practical advice and sugges-tions, The Meditation Doctor is a fine resource book for all who are interested in explor-ing the many benefits of meditation therapy.
