The association between stress and disease is well documented, from the common cold to cancer. However stress also distorts decision making, disrupts emotional thought processing and compromises the health of the human spirit. Good stress management is nothing more than common sense, but in a fast paced, fragmented society, good sense is anything but common. Achieving the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection serves as a wonderful reminder of what we know at the deepest level of our being: Optimal health requires the integration, balance and harmony of mind, body, spirit and emotions. Drawing upon the disciplines of psychology, physiology, sociology, theology, anthropology, mythology and quantum physics, Dr. Seaward blends the proven tenets of ageless wisdom with a score of practical ideas, suggestions and exercises to help you truly achieve harmony between mind, body, spirit and emotions. From comic relief and hatha yoga to guided mental imagery and music therapy, this workbook contains over 70 exercises which serve to integrate mind, body and spirit as one dynamic force that can withstand the pressures of whatever stress may come your way.
