Leonard Perlmutter is the founder and director of The
American Meditation Institute in Averill Park, New York, author

“Transformation,” the Journal of Meditation as Mind/Body

faculties of the New England Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine in
Boston, Massachusetts and the International Himalayan Yoga

Rishikesh, India and is a direct disciple of Swami Rama of the
Himalayas––the man who, in laboratory conditions at the
Menninger Institute, demonstrated that blood pressure, heart
rate and the autonomic nervous system can be voluntarily
controlled. These research demonstrations have been one of
the major cornerstones of the mind/body movement.

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Kaiser Permanente, The Albany Medical College, The New York Times
forum on Yoga Science, the Commonwealth Club of California, the University of Wisconsin School of

Association for continuing medical education credit.
