Release and Prevent Depression
Could your life be any crazier and more overwhelming? You’re bombarded all day, every day by deadlines, demands, and news, much of it bad, from across the street and around the world. After awhile, this constant sense of being overwhelmed, fatigued, and stretched to the limit can leave you feeling hopeless and uninterested in things that you used to enjoy. In other words, you have become depressed. By using the HeartMath techniques in this book, you’ll learn how to tap into new resources of energy and creativity and find new ways to connect with the people in your life. In no time, your feelings of depression will lessen and dramatic changes will take place in your mind and body that will result in better health and greater peace of mind.

“This book shows how specific practices of mindfulness and emotional mastery can help anyone regain control fo their physiology, and therefore their mind. This is an important help in the treatment of depression.”  David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PH.D., clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburg and author of Healing Without Freud or Prozac and The Instinct to Heal.
