Abstract
SHANNAHOFF-KHALSA, The Research Group for Mind-Body Dynamics, Institute for Nonlinear Science, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0402, USA, dsk@ucsd.edu, has reviewed (38 references) Kundalini yoga meditation techniques that are specific for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Abstract: The system of Kundalini yoga includes a large number of meditation techniques, many of which have been found to be specific for treating psychiatric disorders. The paper focuses on a technique specific for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which has been validated in two published clinical trials. This protocol also includes techniques that are useful for a wide range of anxiety disorders, as well as a technique for learning to manage fear, one for soothing an angry mind, one for mental challenges, and one for turning negative thoughts into positive ones. In addition, a number of other disorder-specific meditation techniques (for phobias, addictive disorders, major depression, dyslexia, grief, and insomnia) are included in order to help bring these powerful therapeutic tools to the attention of the mental health community.
