This definition distinguishes mind-body medicine therapies from therapies that are more established or mainstream but that may have similar mechanisms of action (eg, psychotherapies, behavioral training, support groups, education). Traditionally defined mind-body therapies include biofeedback, hypnosis, meditation, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, yoga, tai chi, and qigong.
