release from nervous tension

I read this book about 1951 as a college student. It was marvelous -it cured my insomnia due to tension and inability to relax. And this was years before anyone ever heard of biofeedback

Possibly One of the Most Useful Books You'll Ever Read!

I have read this book, and as I progressed through the pages, I began to understand much more clearly how proper bodily function is tied to our emotional response to daily living. In essence, the book teaches several simple techniques to retrain your body to act as it was designed, and not as a diseased unit. I say simple, not because the techniques don't require effort, but because anyone can implement them. In my own case, it took much of the stress I manifested in the form of headaches and backache and got rid of them! Over half a million copies were sold by 1973. I can see why - and the fact that the research was done in the 1940's and 1960's does nothing to diminish the value of the subject matter. It seems that we have forgotten what we used to know. Read this book - I am sure you won't be disappointed.
