Very Good Condition - Light surface rubbing and minor wear to the cover edges and corners.

Jane Alexander surveys a wide range of holistic therapies and practices in a guide organised around the connections between physical experience, emotional balance and spiritual life. Introducing more than eighty approaches, the book explains their backgrounds, characteristic methods and the ideas practitioners use to describe their work. Its illustrated presentation helps readers compare traditions and become familiar with terminology that can otherwise seem confusing. Alongside established practices are approaches concerned with relaxation, personal awareness and the relationship between mind and body. Alexander presents the holistic perspective as a way of thinking about the whole person, making the volume an accessible reference for readers curious about complementary therapies and the beliefs behind them. It describes the approaches rather than providing a personalised course of treatment.
