Reviews

Andrew Weil, M.D. author of Spontaneous Healing and Eating Well for Optimum Health Meditation as Medicine is a new concept, but the techniques that it uses are ancient, part of the wisdom tradition of India...Clear and engaging...I found much practical advice here.
Deepak Chopra, M.D. author of How to Know God In Meditation as Medicine, Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa shows us how the tremendous power of medical meditation can heal not only the body but also the mind and soul. I strongly recommend it.
The Dallas Morning News Intelligent, accessible, and free of cant and hyperbole.
