Yoga for Stress Management (Paperback - 2009)

The new millennium has ushered in a lot of hope and enthusiasm for creation of a new life order where, besides a longer life span, human beings would be interested in quality and fullness in their lives. This would mean stress management, which is both effective and holistic.

Rapid changes in life patterns, compression of time and space and a compartmentalized approach to life has raised stress levels to astronomical proportions. Stress is proving to be a killer disease and has sapped the vitality of human beings. Stress is causing serious distortions in inter-personal relationships and is destroying the quality of human lives. Hence, there is an urgent need to tackle the problem of stress on a war footing.

A human being is a multi-dimensional entity with roots in consciousness. Stress, too is multi-dimensional and has a root cause, which lays the foundation, and operative causes, which build the superstructure. The singular approach would be to have a clear understanding of stress and its various aspects, and evolve a unified methodology for obliteration of past stress at different dimensions and create a field of invincibility for future stress.

The book offers an effective, lasting and holistic solution to the problem of stress through Yoga-Vedanta’s integrated approach to life which bestows three-fold benefits, viz. obliterating past stress, precluding future stress and taking you beyond stress where you start performing ACES—Actions that are Creative, Energetic and Spontaneous. This triggers you to look at newer and more creative possibilities in life.

Sri Venkatkrishnan, a graduate engineer from IIT Kharagpur, is proficient in the inner sciences of Yoga-Vedanta, and has conducted myriad successful and acclaimed workshops. His approach is scientific, for according to him, creativity stems from true perception that is intensely rational but beyond the labyrinth of thought-based logic. An author of many books and cd-roms, his talks and writings reflect his prodigious intelligence with his unique signature of neural understanding and scientific spirit that cruises you beyond the normal human domain of ideas and thoughts belonging to the lower neural network into the higher and para-neural dimension of bio-centric energy, the zone of creative intelligence.
