Freakout First Aid - Tapa blanda

In 1972, Dean Krause read Journey to Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda, and wanted to seriously discuss the contents, but found nobody willing to do so. This set him deeper on a path of self-learning of arcane and eccentric knowledge. He encountered the now defunct Center for Mind/Body Education, run by psychologist Conrad Satala and his artist wife, Ilene. Through the Satalas, an introduction to W. Brugh Joy, MD had a massive effect on Krause. It was here that Krause learned firsthand information about human energetics and transformational psychology. Much of his reading had led him up to this experiential part of the equation. In his free time, his interests in archaeology were reignited. When he began to travel to Guatemala and southern Mexico to study the Mayan culture, and later the Shaman. His travels expanded to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Honduras. He has since studied Shamanism in the United States with John Perkins and Lyn Roberts, and more recently with Sandra Ingerman. Thus returning back to the subject of Castaneda.

Freakout First Aid is a short little book designed for people that have panic attacks or anxiety. Rather than sorting through volumes of material for something that can be helpful, this book describes simple techniques and activities that may bring immediate relief. Written in plain English, this is not the clinical document of an MD, but down to earth methods written by a person that has experienced anxiety attacks first hand.
