Neuro-Yoga. Managing Attention and Maps of Reality

The book offers a holistic approach to working with attention, body, and consciousness, combining the tradition of yoga and modern understandings of brain function. The main thesis: a person lives within «maps of reality» — stable models formed by past experiences. These maps determine habitual reactions, emotional background, behavior, and how we perceive what is happening. By understanding how they are formed, a person gains the ability to better manage their own life. Special attention is given to practice: the book presents exercises for managing attention, developing mindfulness, and forming a more accurate perception. They can be integrated into everyday life without giving up work and usual activities. The book will be useful for those interested in the connection between Eastern psychophysical practices and scientific knowledge, as well as for those seeking effective ways to work with attention, emotions, and consciousness.
