About the Book :

Ernest Rossi introduced the book as a profoundly integrative new highway to the future of India’s contribution to the world of medicine, psychology and philosophy. It makes a scientific study of the various aspects of Indian hypnotherapy. It traces roots of hypnosis in India through the wisdom intuitively derived from Ancient Texts to  describe the states of consciousness. Psychological and physiological parameters are explained to understand the phenomena in hypnosis and body-mind continuum. It explores the genesis of psychopathology of diseases as symptoms of a disturbed mind thus collating with Charak’s fundamental postulate: Pragynaparadha Jayate Sarve Rogan!
Applications to therapeutics deal with psychosomatic diseases from modern scientific perspectives  as well as Indian psychology that integrates  healing and rejuvenation.  It takes on the text book format  with  indications, applications and contraindications, communication in hypnotherapeutic session and, induction techniques. As a finale to the comprehensive refinement it sculptures the strategy for insight generation and strategic design for hypnotherapeutic transformation through trance. Simultaneously it dwells on hypnotherapy for disorders of childhood behaviour. The issues of past life regression and, strategies for spirituality are of interest to those with esoteric inclinations. The book will be useful to all; for those who are legitimately entitled to practice hypnotherapy as well as lay public.
