Traditional Frameworks of Well-Being and Modern Science
Abstract
This chapter describes how to connect traditional frameworks from yoga to modern science and systems theory in a way that is evidence-based, clinically testable, inclusive, and extensible. This way of systematization enables leveraging the evidence for yoga from across the spectrum of well-being modalities. The key in the presentation is the choice of an approach that is equally valid for both ancient and modern systems. The authors begin by examining the importance of a skill-based approach and layout how well-being systems can be built by mapping the skills and qualities of the organism. They take a selection of domains or categories under which skills from traditional and modern sources can be analyzed: attention, transcendence, movement, breathing, devotion, cognition, and emotion. They conclude the chapter by presenting a larger map of well-being that includes more domains arranged from a clinical perspective.
