Product Description: In this breakthrough health book, Dr. Les Fehmi—a pioneering researcher and clinician—teams up with Jim Robbins, an award-winning science writer, to present a disarmingly simple idea: the way we pay attention in daily life plays a critical role in our health and well-being. Included is a 60-minute audio CD with guided exercises.

This fear lives on in our stomach, our chest, our heart and other organs and muscles and causes a host of problems, including anxiety, ... Read More

This fascinating piece of work is a both a history and a set of methods for those who wish to improve their perceptions, physical well-being and emotional state. Fehmi, one of the original researchers in biofeedback, tells of how he stumbled upon the technique of paying attention to space (like between the eyes, the fingers, etc.) and how that instantly catapulted subjects into an Alpha state, while no other method worked, whether visual, mental, auditory, olfactory, tactile or a combination of these. ...
