The methodological approach is proposed allowing to objectively characterize neurophysiological mechanisms underlying therapeutic effectiveness of Cigun, Indian and Tibetan Yoga therapy. Execution of exercises stipulated in these programs is interpreted as a consciousness-inspired specific form of human behaviour (activity). Step-by-step analysis of mentally-organized body's functional systems as a neurophysiological basis of realizable behaviour is presented. Operational interpretation of internal mechanisms underlying the system's functioning permits to evaluate the stereotype brain condition actualized by specific requirements and motivations that initiates sensory deprivation to ensure priority realization of internal genetically determined activity of the human body. Mobilization of this internal activity is described as a process of selective formation of many complicated interactions between various structures of the reticular formation, limbic system, subcortical centres, and neocortex maintaining priority functioning of homeostatic mechanisms of self-regulation and inborn human behaviour. These mechanisms are believed to underlie the autoreconstructive potential of human organism by ensuring systemic correction and restoration of its functional resources.
