2 notes, in reading order.

  1. 15.1.1Psychology for health: yoga, meditation and relaxation

    Health psychology uses the mind-body link to prevent illness and build positive health: yoga (Patanjali's eight limbs: postures, breath, withdrawal of the senses, concentration, dhyana = meditation), meditation (concentrative or mindfulness) and relaxation techniques (Jacobson, Schultz, biofeedback) all lower arousal and raise well-being.
