DESCRIPTION:Traditional stress-management exercises have emphasized a top-d
 own approach—deal better with the stressors and the body will feel bette
 r.  Breathwork and Self-Hypnosis approach the problem from the body up—c
 hange the negative interoception that amplifies stress by focusing on calm
 ing the body first.  Research has shown that straightforward brief daily b
 reathwork exercises such as cyclic sighing improves mood and reduces physi
 ological arousal.  Also\, self-hypnosis exercises involving visualizing be
 ing in a comforting place reduces stress levels.  The neuropsychophysiolog
 y and results of such practices will be reviewed.\n\nThis keynote is the f
 irst session of three series offered by David Spiegel\, MD as part of the
