I am a MFT student and I have studied with the author for several years, having practiced many Kundalini Yoga meditation techniques in this book and the one preceding it. Foe me personally, Kundalini Yoga provided the technology to heal mentally as well as spiritually. The experience I gained through reading the book opened my eyes to the most clear and comprehensive understanding of the complex mental disorders including schizophrenia, personality disorders, and autism. This understanding awakened in me a previously unknown compassion to all those suffering from these illnesses, and I gained insight of what is demanded of therapy in the future.

Kundalini Yoga, particularly the yoga protocols presented in this book and the one preceding it, will bring hope to those who have little to none. The instructions are presented with clarity, alongside with comprehensive, recent, and related scientific research and real-life case histories. This information can be very useful for psychologists, social workers, therapists, and counselors that may be looking for new approaches for treating complex and problematic patients. This book presents a bounty of novel and highly effective multi-part and disorder-specific protocols that are sure to help advance treatment for what are otherwise difficult and complex patients. I completely trust the techniques in this book since I have practiced many of them and now the multipart protocols, and I am looking forward to sharing them with patients in the future. If you have a hunch this book will help you, with patience and practice, it will.

Great book. Shannafhoff-Khalsa's 8 part protocol on "avoidance" will be taught to our yoga students. His book is an impressive and invaluable contribution to yoga teachers, yoga students, and anyone seeking techniques for upliftment that work.

i AM IN SURPRISE FOR THIS BOOK IT SHOWS THE IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SUBJECT MATTER,HOW TO TREAT ROOT CAUSE OF
PSYCHIATRIC/MENTAL ILLNESSES.IT ONLY REQUIRES PERSISTENCE BUT RESULTS ARE SURE SHOT.

As one of the leading masters of KY today, David's scientifically grounded and clinically researched work in effective therapeutic applications is the best in the field and clearly an important, not to be ignored tool in the increasingly over taxed and challenged field of psychological disorders. This book should be in every professional's library and the tools should be included in all applicable treatment.
